More or less punishment based on the severity of the sin and their Biblical knowledge? You are nothing more than a white washed tomb. I dont think you know the meaning of Grace.

God's grace comprises the gift of the ability to live gratefully and fully according to His Law as a consequence of salvation, not as a cause or condition for salvation.

I dont think you know the meaning of Grace.

I may have the desire to God's will, bot not the power; or the power to do it but not the desire. In wither case, His Will is not done. It is by God's grace through faith in His Son that He can supply me with both, so that as His servant I can please Him.

"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure" (Php. 2:12-13 KJV).

You can't work out a salvation that you don't already possess.
