Hmmm...now, I haven't thought about in quite that way, CS...

I have been thinking along the lines of sureendering when there is no other choice...gun in your face...back against the wall...things like that.

Yielding, on the other hand, is a heart choice...we yield because we love and have a desire to please Him, and not because of fear of hell or anything else.

You've given me something to think about...
