The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Role Of Works In Our Salvation (2)

I would to correct three statements of catholicsoldier regarding Reformation doctrine:

1. Baptism is not a human work. By Word and Sacrament (Baptism), the Holy Spirit works faith, when and where it pleases God in them that hear the gospel.
2. Good works are not an obligation for the believer. When a man has been liberated from the law and saved by grace alone, he does good works with the help of the Holy Spirit from a free and cheerful spirit.
3. Unregenerate man has no free will either to do good and omit evil or to do evil and omit good.
