Justification by faith is found here:
Quote:
There are two roads to justification or righteousness. Law and Faith. Law does not work, since sin is in our flesh and prohbits us from successfully keeping law. Faith is the only one that works. Justification by faith means we are just and righteous by believing in the work of the cross to wash away our sins and make peace between us and God through that work. |
When it occurs is upon obedience to the Gospel.

I would disagree slightly, I believe at the moment of faith the believer is justified, even though he has not obeyed the entirety of the Gospel. |

This is from the 2005 edition of the UPC Articles of Faith. I don't know if it reads like this in newer editions. From what I understand, this was pretty much taken from the PCI manual and can be understood to mean that a person is justified (made right with God) at repentance before water and/or Spirit baptism. It was not until 1973 that the words "for the remission of sins" was added to the fundamental doctrine statement. And even when it was added, there were differences of opinion as to the meaning of "for the remission of sins" by those who moved and seconded the resolution. Justification is a term which means different things to different folks. There is diversity here among us on this subject (and some other subjects too).
REPENTANCE Pardon and forgiveness of sins is obtained by genuine repentance, a confessing and forsaking of sins. We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). John the Baptist preached repentance, Jesus proclaimed it, and the apostles emphasized it to both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 2:38, 11:18, 17:30). The word "repentance" means a change of views and purpose, change of heart, change of mind, change of life, transformation, etc. Jesus said, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3). Luke 24:47 says, "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." |
