I fail to see where believing God, trusting Him, counting on Him has anything to do with spiritual pride - or any kind of pride. Seems to me it requires complete devotion - humility - choosing God's will over self-will, the polar opposite of pride.

The pride comes from the self-rghteousness inherent in the Protestant OSAS doctrine. We may believe, but we are still subject to deceit by the devil and his temptation, and we are still capable of evil.

If satan went after Christ (not knowing He is God), trying to tempt Him, what makes you think we are immune?
