Jesus is my holiness...my holiness is like well you know (dirty rags) in His sight.
I maintain faith in Jesus. I do not have to maintain holiness because only He is holy just as the angels cry, "holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty".
I do not think what I do earns heaven my home but rather what God did for me as the Lamb of God.
So, in your estimation salvation comes only through faith? That holiness is imparted and it does not matter how you live because you believe and He gave you holiness?

You do not have to maintain holiness? Huh, this sounds like a well thought out position. Do you have some scriptural foundation for these oppinions?

Salvation comes by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ right?
Do we agree there?

If you want, I can take some time and write a study of scriptures but if you already have your mind made up please why would I go forth with a hour or two of effort in studying, typing and commenting unless you would pay me what I make at work by the hour or unless you were really serious about learning.

When I have my mind settled on fundamental issues.... it is usually easy to give at least a couple of references in support. Thought you might me able to do the same. Apparently you haven't got a certain passage in mind.

When God gives you the gift of the Holy Ghost, He gives you the holiness of God. That is why they call it the "Holy" Ghost.
You see in the old testament only one high priest could enter into the holy of holies to administer blood atonement for the people of Jehovah. If he did something WRONG he could be KILLED.
In our new covenant with God, we can approach him not because of all the rules and commandments we followed, but because He gave us his Spirit and made us holy unto Him.
