Romans 4: 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, ... So your denomination teaches you that you must 'work' your way into Heaven. Faith MUST includes 'works' else you aint getting in ? Really ? Looks like Paul doesn't agree with you AT ALL. But who listens to Paul ? He is not Christ so what Christ says overrules anything Paul teaches, right ? So Christ taught and sent Paul (for this Age of Grace) just for the heck of it ? When Paul (apparently) contradicts Christ or the 'other' Apostles then that shows how contradictory The Bible really is ? ... Hold on, might there be different periods/ages that The Bible refers to ? Couldn't be that simple huh, imagine different sections of The Bible pertaining to different ages. You'd have to be a real moroff to believe something like that ? .. Yep, listen to your MUST WORK denomination and they will let you know EXACTLY how much you must work. What, they can't or don't but instead they just wishy wash and generalize ? Why would that be ? Maybe because ITS NO BIBLICAL.

19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead —since he was about a hundred years old —and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. 22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.” 23 The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24 but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
