James 2 is about how salvation is demonstrated, not how salvation is accomplished — massive hermeneutical distinction

The Debate Over James 2: Catholic or Protestant View 00:31:51 – 00:33:23

Central interpretive thesis of Mike's reading of James 2

Mike's core argument: James is not explaining how a person gets saved; he assumes the reader already knows salvation is by faith. James is instead addressing how faith is demonstrated/shown to be real. This distinction resolves the apparent contradiction with Romans and Galatians entirely. James is about the evidence of salvation, not the mechanism of salvation.
