The consequence of this is that FV proponents often reject the imputation of the active obedience of Christ for justification.

One FV proponent explicitly conflates justification and sanctification.

One FV proponent refuses to affirm that 'faith' in justification excludes our works of any kind.

One FV proponent says that our good works as Christians combine with faith to justify us.

One FV proponent says that baptism is an instrument of justification. He also says that faith and good works are instruments of justification.
