Characteristically, you did not cite any [Scripture]

LOL. I cite Scripture 10 times more often than you do. You cite the "church fathers." I responded to you yesterday with several Scriptures supporting the fact that Christ accomplished the salvation of all His flock. John and Hebrews testify to this fact.

Your single offering of Phil. 2:12 again shows an inability to understand the Scriptures. You conveniently omit the next verse...

"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." -- Phil 2:13

So just what is this "fear and termbling? We learn from Paul it is the proper perspective we should maintain in the face of the Almighty God of our salvation.

"And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him." -- 2 Corinthians 7:15

The RCC completely ignores the instructions of Christ who tells us there is only one requirement for our salvation -- God's free and merciful gift of grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36

You quote scripture more than almost anyone, Dr. E. I’m thankful that you do. Even protestants can learn from your posts. Thank you.

None of that supports the notion that the sacrifice of Christ is the same as individual salvation that is worked out individually.
