While it would be cool to turn the lights down low at church, saints seeing their BIBLES takes precedent.

"Good works are necessary for final justification" is not true in this universe or the next because "God justifies the UNGODLY" (Romans 4:5). Mark and avoid.

If final justification is dependent on something thing we have to complete, it is not possible to enjoy assurance of salvation. For then final justification is contingent and uncertain. How can anyone be sure he or she has done enough? Sinclair Ferguson. In Christ Alone

To reject Federal Theology, that is, Adam and Christ’s representative roles in redemptive history as Paul explains in Romans 5, is not merely to disagree with Covenant Theology but ultimately the clear teaching of Scripture.
