That's a great article and should relieve a lot of people who have been taught the wrong thing about being "unequally yoked."
My quandry in making my non-free-will-choices is in figuring out when God is leading me to do it His way or when Satan is getting ready to sift me like wheat. I'd prefer to just do the former and avoid the latter.
I am still confused about the "many" who Christ refers to that do good works in his name and believe on Him but whom He doesn't know. I guess that He means that very spiritually -- that they are indeed believers but just not His yet...
Lots to think and pray and read about. As always. Thanks again Dennis and please tell Ray we appreciate it. I hate to add another email to his inbox...

Myself, when I think of the "many", the first thing that pops into my mind are the televangelists clowns, who seemingly do many works, even some appearing supernatural, yet don't have the fruits of the spirit in their lives. I can tell you that I've been though it all, through the Holy Laughter movement, Toronto Blessisngs, etc. etc., and the only thing that bears fruit is that quiet abiding trust, which I believe leads to doing His works in secret, and not letting your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Hope that helps.
