[stripes1776]

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.

That does seem to me to be a humble position, not one of arrogance. Perhaps some people cannot recognize the difference if they are too busy trying to remove the mote in someone else's eye when they haven't removed the beam in their own.

The problem is with "being saved" as a moment on this earth, as opposed to being saved at the moment of death, based on our deeds as Christians, on our likeness to Christ. But no matter how you turn it, it is always God's mercy that saves us.

[annalex]

Presumption of salvation is arrogant, -- as is any arrogation of status not in evidence, -- and is, moreover, directly condemned in the Gospel.
