But i can demonstrate that it is in the choosing that one's heart is revealed, and that is what God judges.

Faith is what saves; and faith without works is not faith. Therefore, works reflect what one's faith is actually in, regardless of what they may claim it is in. The Spanish Inquisition claimed to be zealous for God, too.

Faith in the blood of Jesus for remission of sins is what saves. Not faith in anything else.

Unfortunately you never started to be able to be done, though. You have not dialogued, but monologued the same thing over and over again, disalllowing discussion on whether your thoughts on those issues is right or not.

again, this sounds excellent, and the words cannot be denied--but they can be tested. Thankfully, Scripture provides many other passages on "what saves" to illuminate what faith is; i have been posting them. If you think of any pertinent ones, by all means quote them.

I will wade through those two posts and see if any of it is new.
