Locked and under review by mods for determination.  Regardless of disagreement with the overall premise indicated (a works-based gospel)  A true redeemed believer is sealed by the Holy Spirit unto that Day - grace not works [wholly looking to Jesus Who is the Author and Finisher of our faith] lest anyone should boast.  Works are a result of the Holy Spirit working through a believer, and our submission and obedience - still God's work within us.  And any disobedience and resulting fruit will be judged and burned, but the person "saved as by fire" - not cast aside.  We are aware there are distortions of James' teachings and their context, as well as attempts to apply the Law to the current gentile believer age;  still all that could be open to discussion, except, the discussion forum is not a clearinghouse to primarily link to external sites, as earlier stated
The oldest known manuscripts agree with each other 99% of the time.  The scriptures, accurately translated, Spirit revealed - reliable.   Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.  Heb. 12:2
