Thanks for reminding me about St Augustine's last days. I had to stop and try and remember.You're right about the saints.When you read their lives,they all think they're failures and worse than that, they think they're the worse sinners in the world. St Paul, in one of his epistles said that he was WORKING OUT his salvation with TREMBLING! When I read that, I wonder how protestants have the gaul to say that they're "saved." If the great St Paul said that he was working out his salvation with trembling,then it must mean that our salvation CAN BE LOST if we don't continue in our prayers and good works.

Phillippians 2:12 "Work out your own salvation" does not mean that you should work for salvation in order to obtain it. The Greek phrase "work out" denotes the expression, manifestation, or actualization of something one already possesses. The Philippians are to "work out" the salvation God has already wrought in them (v.13) carrying it to its logical conclusion.
