KOP's question #2:
Secondly, please show one scripture in context that tells a person who believes in Christ Jesus for his salvation will not be given eternal life.
Answer :
There are several but here are just 2
Matt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? (James 2:14-20)
Simple passages, very easy to understand.
Christ says clearly that to get into the kingdom you have to do the will of the Father, not just claim to have faith or believe with your mouth. Its believe with your heart and that transforms someone from a doer of evil to a doer of good works.
James is also very clear faith without works is dead .. no explanation required.
