"Pray tell me, HOW do I GET WASHED if I have not been washed already? Who does what? Don't forget, he just said not of works "WE HAVE DONE." Who does the work to wash us? How is it that we are washed? Pray tell me, HOW do I GET WASHED if I have not been washed already?"

well, Scripture says that you must wash your robes, so...as long as the song works for you, by all means do that. If that means trusting that Christ saved you back then, and is coming back to save you again someday, and you are in a holding pattern until then, more power to you. I don't believe that any more. It is anti Christ to me now. It leads to this "i don't believe OSAS, but i do believe one can lose a gift, but can't demonstrate that they have the gift" thinking. It's bunk.

Love was sufficient for the early church, who did not even have the NT. Love is the first doctrine, and love is 9/10ths of the law and prophets. Any thing one subordinates to love is a cult.
