Titus 1:16
They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him,
being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good work

You can reject God with your actions.

2 Chronicles 15:2
The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him,
he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you

John 8:31
If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples

Luke 14:27
And whoever does not bear his cross and
come after Me cannot be My disciple

Walk in the word, which is the cross.

"freedom" and "freewill" is satan deceiving you telling you "you can be like God" you can have free will and do your own will. This is why satan and his angels rebel they want "freewill" they dont want to submit to the will of God. Thats what surrendering to evil is like Jesus taught its not letting evil prevail its trusting in Gods will and showing mercy. God always used evil nations like Babylon to discipline Israel then used the Assyrians to free them from the Babylonians. Its the same today with terrorist Israel cant have peace because God is against them until they accept Jesus. people always take about the promise for the land but never mention the other promise God made if they stop following him which is to destroy them and surround them with enemies

1 John 2
17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

Luke 11
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

If you have been fooled by false teachers who dont know real baptism your not going to ask God for his spirit. This is why its so important to be honest with yourself. If you did not have an encounter with the holy spirit falling/pressing upon you you did not be born again. they wrote down every time the holy spirit fell/pressed upon someone in the Bible because you will notice it. the spirit of God will dwell in you and will pour literal warm love into your heart. its not a mystery if you received the holy spirit which is the seal from God that you will be saved

John 14
23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

Jesus loves you if you keep his commands. This is how you spot fake faith like Jesus says " He who does not love Me does not keep My words". Its important to be honest with yourself so you can realize your not walking in his commands and cry to God for help

1 John 2
4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

Revelation 3:10
Since you have kept my command to endure patiently,
I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come
on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.

Are you Enduring Christ commands ?

Colossians 3:5-6
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature:
sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires

EVIL DESIRES Do you enjoy thouse fake killing video games

the bible say that you can sin with your eyes - Matthew 5:29
also whit your mind - Matthew 5:28

you that believe in god but enjoy to do what is against
2 Corinthians 13:5. "Examine yourselves"

Psalm 11:5
The Lord tests the righteous and the wicked,
A̲n̲d̲ ̲t̲h̲e̲ ̲o̲n̲e̲ ̲w̲h̲o̲ ̲l̲o̲v̲e̲s̲ ̲v̲i̲o̲l̲e̲n̲c̲e̲ ̲H̲i̲s̲ ̲s̲o̲u̲l̲ ̲h̲a̲t̲e̲s̲.̲

loves creates a bond, attachment,
Evil is contagious 1 Corinthians 15:33 - Proverbs 4:14-15

People keep saying USA and the west were built upon Christian values. This is a complete lie do not be fooled by these preachers of the world doing the will of satan. God is the one telling you Christ is king and you have no say and to obey his commands or die. These worldly preachers are brainwashing you into thinking the real God is a dictator and you should fight for "freedom". The west was founded on rebellion they follow the devil not the God of Abraham Iassac and Jacob

1 Samuel 12
19 Then all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to the Lord your God, so that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil by asking for ourselves a king.”

Hosea 4
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being My priest.
Since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.

John 6
60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?” 61 But Jesus, conscious that His disciples grumbled at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble? 62 What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him. 65 And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”

"So i believe in self defense and protecting those that cannot protect themselves" you believe in teachings that oppose Jesus

Romans 12
19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The greek word for revenge used is "ἐκδικέω" which can mean "avenge" "to protect, defend, one person from another". Apostles directly rebuked "self defense" or "the right to bear arms". If you call yourself a proud American or whatever God forsaken nation that also supports self defense you need to repent and come to the truth in Christ. Your supposed to be born again and learn what the will of God is and walk in it.

The whole conversation is about faith and works and scripture that says "faith without works is dead" is "Out of context" Huh??

works is faith. again I already posted scripture proving this from Jesus himself. you refuse to respond to any of the scripture.

Everything I posted is about proving works is faith. its all in context you are just a false teacher refusing to admit wrong.

the verse you posted literally proves my point "created in Christ Jesus for good works" you don't have a clue what your teaching

for context as well, you posted this.

people who are nationalist and support the "right to defend yourself" which is directly arguing against Jesus and refusing his commands these are the exact type of people doomed to be rejected by Jesus

So i believe in self defense and protecting those that cannot protect themselves, so i'm not saved according to you, so its not in Jesus alone... Do you see the slippery slope of condemnation you attach?

None of those verses prove me wrong. I don't deny we should obey Christ, but that is not what saves us, its Jesus and JESUS ALONE. That's why i said you're simply spamming verses out of context, i didn't say the scriptures or verses themselves were spam. The verses about I never knew you are exactly as it says NEVER knew you...

Ephesians 2:
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

this is what *you* posted that started all of this, insinuating that Salvation is not in Christ alone Grace through Faith....
**Philippians 2
12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
What's there to "work out" if its based on "faith alone"?**

2 Thessalonians 1
8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power

it makes a separation between those who don't know God and those who do who read the scriptures but do not obey. those that claim the faith but do not obey are in the most danger. this is the real battlefield for any disciple in Christ weather its against those who say they dont believe or for those who say they do

2 Corinthians 10
5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

all written by Paul the same Paul who wrote Romans 10:9

Romans 5
19 For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

Romans 16
26 but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;

Romans 15
18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed,

Romans 2
8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation

2 Thessalonians 1
8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

"believe in your heart" has fruit and that fruit is doing what Jesus commanded. Its very simple to understand.

1 John 2
4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6 the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

"By this we know that we are in Him"
"the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked"

scripture is literally telling us those who actually believe in their heart and "have come to know Him" do what he commanded and this is how we know they are saved

Yea ignore all the scripture proving you wrong as "spam". classic. dont respond to a single thing proving you wrong... If your theology needs to ignore everything proving it wrong you really should stop trying to teach

James 3
1 Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

Spamming Verses out of context to fit your "agenda" doesn't make you right. Salvation is in Christ and Christ alone the entirety of the Gospel teaches this... Sanctification follows Salvation...

I would post more of Romans but i'm limited and i'm not going to spam the comments wall like you....

Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”...

I remember why i blocked you, you are unteachable and you simply spew your self defense silliness and take everything out of context. Good bye.

Matthew 25
34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’

Jesus is literally judging them based on works. Nothing at all supports faith alone. The scripture in romans saying a man is not justified by works is about works of the law. works of the teachings of Christ is what shows your faith to be real. its just common arguments made by people who dont understand scripture. scripture clearly teaches works are proof of faith

Titus 1
16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.

James 2
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

Titus 3
14 And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.

Hebrews 5
9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

Luke 6
46 “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?

Listen carefully to what's called faith here

Mark 2
2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no longer room, not even near the door; and He was speaking the word to them. 3 And they *came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men. 4 Being unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Him; and when they had dug an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic was lying. 5 And Jesus seeing their faith *said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

They didn't say a word. they did action. They loved thy neighbor as thyself. "their faith" was obeying the command of God

Your missing the whole point. All the people who get told begone I never knew you called Jesus "Lord Lord" they would say they have faith. Works is proof of the faith. If you dont obey Jesus command your faith is not real Jesus literally correlates those who get told begone I never knew you to those who dont act on his teachings. You see these types of people who say they have faith yet argue against Jesus to surrender to evil people. people who are nationalist and support the "right to defend yourself" which is directly arguing against Jesus and refusing his commands these are the exact type of people doomed to be rejected by Jesus

Good commentary on this subject from David Guzik.

Work out your own salvation: We know that Paul did not mean “work so as to earn your own salvation.” Such a statement would contradict the whole of Paul’s gospel. What Paul did mean is to call the Philippians to put forth real effort into their Christian lives. This is not to work their salvation in the sense of accomplishing it, but to work out their salvation — to see it evident in every area of their lives, to activate this salvation God freely gave them.

There is more context, but i cannot post because of comment limits... Keep Scripture in context.
https://www.blueletterbible.org/comm/guzik_david/study-guide/philippians/philippians-2.cfm

Salvation is in Christ and Christ alone... we work from it "working out" not earning it, it is already there, now work it out.. that goes against the whole context of the Scriptures if you think this means EARN it...

Philippians 2
12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

What's there to "work out" if its based on "faith alone"?

Matthew 25
34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’

Jesus is judging them based on works

Mark 7:8 and Matthew 15:3 are two key Bible verses that describe people ignoring God's commands for human traditions. In these passages, Jesus accuses the religious leaders of setting aside God's law to follow their own teachings, leading to a nullification of God's word.

Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.

They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”
