Belief in what God’s son accomplished, where sins are concerned, is that required response. It is very simple when we understand the difference in Reconciliation and Righteousness. Not everyone has been baptized into Christ even though Christ’s blood purged his or her sins

true again!
Christ work was done for all but not all will come to him in acceptance of his work. Faith is the key. It is like my stance on the AV Bible as the preserved word of God. It is an issue of faith that God had done so as promised in Ps 12:6. No man talked me into this or taught me. It was the Holy Ghost who showed me by comparing spiritual things with Spiritual.
Brother, we are of like minds on this issue.

So-called Christendom today fails to rightly divide the word of truth, because they have mixed God’s program with Israel and his program with the Body of Christ and mixed dispensations together; dispensations that do not mix together, and as a result, they think they have taken on Israel’s role from the point where Israel left off.
The programs have simply been intertwined in the minds of the religious world. Any kind of works at all, even if they appear to be good works in a our minds, that are done for the purpose attaining salvation, or for the purpose of maintaining salvation, and even for the purpose of proving our salvation is a slap in the face of God, who had to provide the gift of salvation, because our righteousness would be totally incapable of meriting it.
It was God’s plan to use the faith and its resultant faithfulness of the son of God in the ultimate glorification of human-kind who would take him at his word, the union of believers to Christ is that which allows God to remain just when he credits those with the righteousness of his son. Are we to study the Word of God as though it were a hodge-podge assortment of instructions that are all the same for all the people of all the ages? Some people study it that way, and then wonder why they can not make sense of it.
Cafeteria Christianity, each group placing on their plate the portion, or portions of Scripture that appeal most to them. “We want this, but we will ignore that.” “We will take one of these, but we will leave the others off our plate.” But we can not pick and choose whatever doctrine suits our appetites, as though it is left up to us to sere ourselves.
We have to allow God to tell us in the Word, the portions of that Word that are specifically written about and directly apply to us. If you read the words “ye men of Israel,” “ye men of Judaea” do not take from the table of that nation and put that instruction on your plate. You are not the nation Israel. You are not under the law, they were. You are under grace!

There is only one way to salvation and it's the same for everybody who is a disciple, Jew or non-Jew alike. You are trying to say that the Gospel (good news) is to be divided and I don't know what cult leader taught you this, but it wasn't Jesus, who never taught what you are misleading people to think.
There is one, narrow path to salvation, and Messianic Jews have the same gospel as the rest of Christianity.
Your division of humanity into 2 gospels and types of people is too master race-ish for me.
I am disgusted at your fallacious notion, you should be ashamed of yourself for teaching this satanic rubbish.

Did you miss Jesus'/James teaching on faith? " Faith without good works is DEAD." That's a quote from James who was taught by Jesus.
And here we are being told by someone else that only faith brings salvation, faith alone justifies etc.
This is a direct contradiction to the message of the Saviour and it originates from the false teachings of the one who says he is an apostle, and is not, Saul the Pharisee.
Contradictions to the truth which are Jesus teachings are a sin. Teaching that faith ALONE justifies contradicts JESUS. Do I have to explain why this satanic lie of faith justifies without being good is a fallacy or are you just using this lie to convince yourself your immune from sin and judgement.
I will trust Jesus before the leaven of the Pharisees and the wolf of the tribe of Benjamin that is Saul who is guilty of teaching the doctrine of Balaam.
I will also point out that Jesus said: " By their fruits you will know them." Not by their faith, which anyone can profess without meaning.
We will be judged, not by faith alone, but by our actions as well.
Faith without works is DEAD.
