Seems to be a lot of discussion on the distinction between the Law and the Gospel around these parts lately. Hopefully this will answer the charges.

Antinomianism is the polar opposite of legalism, the notion that obedience to a code of religious law earns salvation.
I do not let a chartered religious institution define my
relationship with God or Christ by their rules or my attendance to their building. I am saved from all sins by the sacrifice of Jesus and belief in him as the Son of God. By the way, for those not fully confident that salvation is free and we must live “sin free”, please define “sin” for me in such a way as we may then make a full list of sins of commission and omission and live my life accordingly. You will bog down in a sea of ambiguity. For example ,”Thou shalt not kill” .Does this apply in self defense? War? Accident?
Thou shalt not bear false witness? How many lies do you tell each day? “I’m fine, thank you “ when your not. “I’ll get right on it!” (when you won’t). How about stealing? Oh,
Well ,you get my drift. Why did Christ come? Because all are sinner and fall short of the glory of God!

Boy, they're coming out of the Freerepublic woodwork, aren't they?
But that is what Christ has done for those who are His.
The good works we do are the good works of Christ within us, the fruit of the Spirit. But just because those works begin and end in Christ does not mean those works don't get done.
I agree with Martyn Lloyd-Jones. "If we aren’t accused of antinomianism, we haven’t preached the gospel properly." Christians recognize their own inability and understand that good works will always follow regeneration because both are the work of God.
