10.FROM DEAD WORKS*
Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Heb 6:1,2
*DEAD WORKS are works done without Repentance towards God and done without faith in His Son Jesus Christ.
Example : Even religious activities like prayer … or Ministry … can be considered dead works, if they are not motivated by genuine love for God or love for souls.
