My responsibility in all of it is to obey.

I'd hazard a guess that all the people in the Gospels who were told they were saved or healed by their faith did not understand fully the Incarnation, the deity of Christ.

Even his own disciples didn't get much. They certainly didn't understand that he was going to die for them.

God straightened out their theology AFTER they were saved and given the Holy Spirit. Matter of fact, the only way to have correct theology is through the enlightening of the Holy Spirit dwelling in you.

Yes, correcting my theology is God's department.

John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

Good luck with that. I’ll pray you get it.

Your posts indicate the common attitude of the Reformation that all you have to obey is the god in the mirror.

In other words, you are confirming my position that Protestants disavow any responsibility for their beliefs. The limousine beckons...
