Do you have faith ? Yes ??
Mat_17:20 And Jesus said .. If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
The smallest amount of faith can move a mountain. Can you move a mountain?
No ? And you are basing your salvation on your weak faith ?? !!
Good Luck.. 😀

If I tell a mountain to move and it does not, therefore, doesn't indicate a lack of saving faith; rather, it may not be God's will that the mountain move at all.

I'd refer you to the first three chapters of the Book of Revelation where the Lamb of God expresses exactly what he thinks of the efforts of his various churches on earth.
What do you think of this verse :
Luke 18:8 ...Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Christ seems to be saying that when he returns he wont find faith on earth.
Im raising all of this becuase many Christians seem to be placing all their trust in their own faith. Im just wondering if this is enough.

Originally posted by Rajk999As John the Baptist said (Matt 3:8), we must bring forth fruits worthy of true repentance. Jesus said what these fruits would be in Matthew 25—namely, giving food to the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, giving hospitality to strangers in need, clothing those without clothing, and visiting those in prison; we can probably add caring for widows and the fatherless (James 1:27) to this list as well.

These are the fruits which are worthy of true repentance. In other words, their presence authenticates a confession of faith.
