I am just as saved as Paul or Peter or John!

As I pointed out - we are told in James 2:19 that even the DEMONS believe in the truths about God.
Are THEY saved?? Are THEY justified?? NO.
Faith is Belief + Obedience (Works).
In 1 Cor. 13:2, Paul says that even if you have faith that can move mountains but do not have love - it is WORTHLESS.
In Gal. 5:6, he tells his readers that ALL that matters is faith WORKING through love.
Christ told the crowds that NOT all those who call upon him will be saved - but ONLY the one who DOES the will of the Father (Matt. 7:21).
It's not faith AND/OR works.
They are part of the SAME thing - True faith. -

YOU don't have the power to forgive or retain sins. -
"I'm not equipped to discuss this topic."
That's what I thought . . . -

What is "Faith"?? -
John 20:21-23
(Jesus) said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."
He said "Peace be with you" because they weren't at peace. they were AFRAID. Verse 19 tells us that much.
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit.
Whose sins YOU FORGIVE are forgiven them, and whose sins YOU RETAIN are retained." -
We are saved by God's GRACE by the blood of Christ shed on Calvary - but ewe are saved THROUGH His Church (Matt. 16:18-19. Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 15:12-15, John 20:21-23).. -

I was very clear about that.
THIS is what I said - so pay attention:
"We are saved by God's GRACE by the blood of Christ shed on Calvary - but we are saved THROUGH His Church (Matt. 16:18-19. Matt. 18:15-18, Luke 10:16, John 15:12-15, John 20:21-23)." -

However, as long as YOU mentioned him - here is what he said about Baptism:
1 Pet. 3:21-22
his prefigured baptism, which saves you now. It is not a removal of dirt from the body but an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.
Acts 2:38
Peter [said] to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit. -
