Not only are you wrong; you're rude

Wrong? Rude? Christ was humble. Humility is rarely something you hear from Protestant pulpits. I suppose you will deny that too.

I will say this: far and few in-between are those who fit +Paul's words. We all may believe that we truly believe, but at least most if us do not fool ourselves to believe we are free of sin, Christ-like.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

In post 690 you wrote: "I may be wrong, but most Protestants do not even profess any desire, let alone teaching, to live such a life, to emulate Christ."

That is a rude, incorrect, snide and argumentative statement.

"Most Protestants" are Christians who seek to follow Christ, to pick up His cross and emulate His walk because Scripture tells us that is exactly what God demands from us. Do you doubt that?

And it also tells us to kneel to none but Christ.

"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." -- Matthew 15:8-9

[Cronos]

We all may believe that we truly believe, but at least most if us do not fool ourselves to believe we are free of sin, Christ-like.

Seemingly, our Protestant friends over here suppose that they already know God's mind that they already believe they are Christ-like. I would equate that will fool-hardy and misplaced arrogance.
