Hi, Robin. I missed your comment in the admin section of my blog, so it didn’t get approved until today (May 11).

The things I say about salvation by faith alone being common among Protestants don’t apply to the Church of Christ denomination. They reject that doctrine.

Thanks for commenting!

I haven’t left a reply in a long time! Just so everyone knows, I never set up what the comment box asked for. I was surprised to find out an email address is required.

WordPress does that, not me. Maybe there’s an option. I’ll look sometime. I don’t use the email addresses.

Anyway, good to hear from you, Nate. David definitely emphasizes the story–uh, prophecy–of the sheep and the goats. It’s a good thing to emphasize.

I like the link to the article “sound doctrine in the history of Christianity”.
Good stuff. Its funny I have been going to a coc for a long time, and we don’t talk about romans much ( i didn’t know that was common in prot. churches, even someone at church mentioned this very thing a few weeks ago, i hadn’t realized Romans as such). We do actually have people repent and turn around before they get baptized. I think you are onto something. a person who lives out humility and patience is better testimony than any preacher…

By the way, i am prideful and am working on being more patient. I want to be like the above, but not there yet.

Hey Shammah!

Great post!
We had David Servant with us this weekend and he shared exactly along those lines. He took off on the judgement between the sheep and the goats as the ultimate standard for christian living as opposed to the salvation by faith alone concept.
He was great and so was this post!

Love you dear brother
Nate
