Re: Faith Without Works...
Defining what "works" means might be beneficial. I've heard "works" defined in various sermons and conversations (on and off this board) as "standards", "Jewish laws and traditions", "deeds/actions"-which can be positive or negative depending on context, and "fruit". None of those would save us, and though some might show salvation, not all would. These might all work in various settings, but what say you?
