I try to tell you what others think because...not all men are where you are and as I said, they are not as certain as you are on the matter. They understand that works are useless but they do not equate continued believing with works. This is where some men are. This is just where they are with their Lord. And I think it is sometimes hard for you to let them be where they are just as it is hard for other men to leave you where you are with Him.
I maybe made a mistake because I didn't specifically say I understood your post. I do in fact understand it, and in just the last few weeks, I have come to think more as you do. It was almost like a second birth for me.
And I maybe made a second mistake, because I am looking back over the entire scope of the thread when I gave my opinion and that couldn't have been clear because I didn't make it clear.

What a loving respectful way that Stunnedbygrace and eternally-gratefull worked out things. That is an example of the life of Christ manifesting in their lives. We encourage this type of behavior amongst us.
We can still respectfully agree to dis-agree on some areas and yet remain respectful and give true unfeigned honor to Christ that is in us.
This provides a safe environment in which to discuss things. God is good and is faithful to all of us!

The Truth is not compromised and if it makes you an enemy remember not to despise those that despise you.
Be prepared to stand being stoned and lay it not against those who are deceived and stone you.
Have Love and Mercy like we are shown.
Faith without works is dead.
works perfect Faith.. what works? The Lord instructs through His New Testament.
Law of Faith contains much work given by the Son of GOD and So if we love Him we Keep His Testimony.
A willing heart need apply.
