Hello gk
that post was not directed at you. My posts are directed to everyone, IF :) sometimes to named ones, then I highlite the parts. It was only happenstance that your post was caught between. And that IF should of been "though" I don't think I am that polished :D everyone who knows me my speech can be Geage Bush like. I thought the IF was rhetorical in nature, not meant to mean plain old IF. Sorry. So your right, I should be more careful with my words, sometimes what is written is noit what one has thought.
Son? I am over 50. ;D
John from Kentucky:
None of us are saying that good works are not needed. All good comes from God. The nub of the matter is who gets credit for the good works?
If we think, in our heart, that the good works come from us, that repentance comes from us, that our knowledge comes from us, that our faith comes from us, then we are God in the temple of our heart. The Beast lives in our heart.
On the other hand, when we are baptized with the Spirit, when Jesus lives within us, then the Beast has been killed, and we do those things that Jesus does. We think like Jesus and we do the works of Jesus. Through this Spirit we are subject to the Kingdom of God. God is sovereign and rules within us.
Therefore, since it is through the influence of the Spirit of Jesus (the same Spirit as His Father) that we do good works, then God gets all the credit for the good works that we do. God is sovereign in all things. All the credit, all the glory goes to God.

No line in the sand here friend, shall we both partake of a plate of ‘bumps’?
[b]Running the Race is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
No matter the disputes that arise between us all, we're all in this together. We're all running this race and we're all going to receive this prize at the end. Just remember, it's a marathon not a sprint, with bumps along the way.

Hi everyone,
This is q good discussion because we have to search out the scriptures and understand the sovereignty of God in everything. I just wanted to bring out that I remember watching a video of Ray and he states,(I'm paraphrasing) that without Gods hold on us, we would all be the worst of the worst. We would all sin with abandon. It is only His hold on all of us that keeps us the least bit civilized. Does anyone know where to find that?
