Our role isn't to glorify ourselves and make us look good as future gods. Grace empowers us to good works. Faith is the root; works are the fruit. Works are a by-product of our relationship with Heavenly Father & the Son they are not the source of it!
BTW, our role isn't to glorify ourselves as Colofornian erroneously puts it. Our role is to do His will so that we may be glorified BY God. Both of you as ex-members should know that. What's a shame is that you probably do, & yet still mislead as to what we believe. A shame really.
