Sorry, but when I read your posts I get the impression that you are very much responsible for your salvation. I see more of you than I do of Christ. This is one of the reasons that you are so defensive concerning doc's remarks. It is apparent that your salvation hinges on your actions, and not on Christ alone. As such, you appear to be trapped by a man-made religiousity and self-dependence that is no better than the multitude of "Christ plus" paths that men so dearly love. I did not save myself, only Christ can Save. The only role I had in my Salvation was to respond the the Gospel message and accept the solution for my sinful nature that God provided through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has Saved me; all I did was say yes to His offer of eternal life. Rather than my salvation being a result of my actions, my actions are a result of my faith in my salvation. If you knew even a small part of what has been going on in my life over the past few years, you would not be making your statements about my faith in Christ.

"If you knew even a small part of what has been going on in my life over the past few years, you would not be making your statements about my faith in Christ." What we know is what you have presented here. Honestly, it hasn't been pretty.
BTW, count how many times you used "I" or "my" in that post. Contrast that with how many times you said "Christ" or "His".
