Question:
How would you present the gospel to one who thinks he’s saved by good works, picks out portions of the Bible to believe and claims the rest is added by man. This person has an India Indian, and Catholic background.

Answer:
If a person believes he is free to accept or reject Scriptures according to his own evaluation of them, then you have no basis whatsoever on which to speak to such a person. And if a person persists in this belief he has no hope.

Everything in the Bible was written by “a man.” However, God either guided each one who wrote, and all that he wrote, and it is, therefore, ALL His revealed truth, or none of it is. The truth is that God inspired (breathed) His truth to those who actually wrote it (2 Timothy 3:16). Each and every verse has the same authority and is God’s voice to each and every person who reads or hears it. It is eternally fatal to reject God’s Word.Titus 3:5 proves good works are no good for salvation. Ephesians 2:8, 9 show the same and that it is by grace through faith, the gift of God.
