***Boasting with words about the “indwelling spirit” or being the “mouthpiece of God” or being “saved by faith” are just empty words that prove nothing. Words are cheap. Real believers will live a life through which people we recognize Christ in them.***

Very well expressed, sir.

We are supposed to evangelize; however evangelization by folks such as Jimmy Swaggart takes on an evil hue once the actions of the individual are brought to light and often do more to harm Christianity than help.

Christ was the model of virtue. No one is a Christian who quotes the Bible, but one who, as best as he can, lives a life of virtue, imitating Christ. Oh, it's work alright!

As you said, Christ gave us over 100 commandments—to do things, and none of them are to "do" sola scriptura!
