*************
ANSWERS

1. FALSE - Docetism cf. 1 John

2. FALSE - Arianism

3. FALSE - Nicene orthodoxy demands that Jesus was fully God and man

4. FALSE - Modalism

5. FALSE - Taken from Gloria Copeland, God's Will for You

6. FALSE - Taken from Jimmy Swaggart, Dake Annotated Study Bible

7. TRUE - While our salvation is not "personally" based on the Ten Commandments, it is based upon the law nonetheless. The Bible makes clear that God demands perfect conformity to his law, even though all have sinned. But all those who trust in Christ have their sins forgiven & are given the righteousness of Christ (i.e. his moral obedience) to wear like a robe. (see John 17:19, Matt 5:17 & Rom. 5). In short, we are saved by Christ's fulfilling the law in our place, as well as his dying for our sins on the cross

8. FALSE - Taken from The Book of Mormon (2 Nephi 25:23)

9. FALSE - See John 1:12-13; Rom. 11:5-8, Ephesians 2:8-10. If we our saved by our own decision, then certainly, we would have something to "boast" about, and salvation would not be by grace alone

10. FALSE - See Romans 1:20

11. FALSE - There is no such text, but David speaks of being sinful from conception (Psalm 51:3)

12. FALSE - Taken from the Roman doctrine of last rites; purgatory

13. FALSE - See Rom. 8:28-39 & Rom. 7

14. FALSE - We are acceptable to God by Christ's work on the cross (1Cor 1:30-31, Heb. 9-10), and even in our sanctification we are never victorious until we enter into glory (Phil 3:12, James 3:2)

15. FALSE - Justification is not a process, but a forensic declaration (Rom 4:5, 8:30-33). The question was taken from Kenneth Baker, Fundamentals of Catholicism, p. vol. 3 p. 57)
