[Pilgrim's Progress]

Duly noted. You do not WANT or NEED salvation. You are content to face God at the judgment seat entirely on your own merits without benefit of an Advocate. I thank God always that I have what you reject.

There is still room at the Cross for one more, barney. Come to Christ - you’ll never regret it. You will, however, regret your present path which leads to destruction.

There are only two states: Saved and unsaved. Don’t chose the wrong one. You can bet that Christians on Free Republic are praying for you to make the right choice.

[Mad Dawg]

Paul says to the baptized, You have died. In Galatians he says he lives no longer but Christ lives in him.

In Romans he says the Holy Spirit prays in us.

In Philippians he says as I work out my salvation with fear and trembling God works in me both to will and to do.

There's more to this than first appears.

I am content to face God, just like the untold millions, who lived and died before the advent of Christianity. I don’t need an advocate, as I am responsible for the life I have led. Thank you for your thoughts...
