Matthew 4:19 – Jesus told his disciples he would make them fishers of men.

Speak about total depravity and how Christ died for our sins, actually becoming sin for us.

Luke 19:8 – Salvation is a continuing experience, not a one time event.

Matthew 16:25,26 – Whoever would come after Christ, must deny himself. Who would gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Acts 2:38 – Repent and be baptized for the remission of sins, receive the Holy Ghost and then live for him, and you will be saved.

I Cor 15:1-4 – Only those that keep the gospel in memory are saved.

John 8:31 – Only those that continue in the Word of God are saved.

James 2:14-26 is talking about sanctification of our life, not of our spirit. If we have sanctification of the spirit, ("initial" salvation) we will have sanctification of the life. If we do not have sanctification of the spirit, ("initial" salvation) we will not have sanctification of the life. "Initial" salvation involves what Christ sees and gives to us. Progressive sanctification involves how we use what Christ has given us and what people see in us.

Phil. 2:12 - Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. This passage is not speaking about working out your own personal way to be saved. It is speaking about working out the salvation you already have. It is like working out your garden. This means you get rid of the weeds in your garden. If you don’t have a garden, you can’t "work it out." If you don’t have salvation, you can’t "work it out."
