StMatthew, this is the third time I have tried to post something to respond to this quote. What I found out is that I cannot and stay a member of this forum. I love Christ too much to continuously raise my BP as this does. It is not worth it.

I am beginning to think about a serious, real serious long term self ban from this forum. I feel if I remain here, I will return back to the old hateful, arrogant, self-righteous, paranoid, self-serving, egotist which can turn a bad attitude on a dime. I no longer have it in me to deal with people who attack men instead of doctrine. I cannot become that much of an elitist ever again.

Goodbye. No goodbye thread needed. Love to one and all.

Sorry you feel that way. I have to wonder though why you can throw out the Grace Only doctrine when it does not match what you are saying either. ANY works on our part would, from the argument you proposed, negate Christ being enough for salvation, wouldn't it?? This would include repentance and confession. The balanced view is that God offers salvation to us unworthy folks (Grace), and we obey his word and are accepted.
