Perhaps something like that sort of case MIGHT be made for Peter's FAITH.

Yeah ... it's there. Just read through the posts for the links.

OK.

Thanks.

imho, Peter's faith by The Holy Spirit . . . has much more in common with the faith by The Holy Spirit of all earnest believers

than Peter the person has in common with Jesus as head of The Church Universal.

And both the Old Testament and the New Testament are replete with examples of

GOD removing the anointing and the leadership from those who failed to walk in ONGOING INTIMACY AND OBEDIENCE to Him.

Lineage even to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob . . . even of the Aaronic priesthood . . . could amount to less than a gnat's fart's worth of importance to God in terms of position, leadership, anointing, favor.

The same is true, today.
