Not sure what you said here. Did you say they all promoted GOOD DEEDS TO SAVE US?
Eph 2:8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Tit 3:5 KJV Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Rom 11:6 KJV And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Deeds FOLLOW salvation, but we are not SAVED BY GOOD DEEDS.
I think you need to review the bible.
Rom 4:4-6 KJV Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. (5) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (6) Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
never never never are works used to merit us salvation. WITHOUT WORKS, before we have a chance to DO ONE SINGLE GOOD WORK, we are saved entirely by Christ's work on the cross.
Do you not agree?
