... then you are presuming, sinfully, that you are among the elect and not among those who do not know your master's voice. This parable cuts both ways.
Absolutely. Please refer to me as saint Harley (you don't have to capitalize the "s" in saint).
There isn't anything sinful about it because I know that there isn't ANYTHING that I have done to merit my salvation-nor is there anything that I have to do. My salvation does not rest with me but with the finished work of Christ. Any merger works that I might have performed within my short life I will cast before the throne of my Lord Jesus because it was Him working through me. I've done absolutely nothing.
