1. You've been around here long enough to have figured out "FRoman Catholics" are Roman Catholic FReepers. Did you seriously imagine I made that up?

2. It seems to me that you just did what you accused me of doing "hypocritically" in your point #1. My passage is booked on the Jesus round-the-universe-for-eternity cruise. It's awesome that brave Christians throughout time have dared stand up to the elitist religious leaders when they have strayed from the truth. God continues to use such faithful men and women.

3. I'm puzzled??? Nope, it's more than clear that many of the early church fathers understood and exhorted their disciples to hold to the authority and sufficiency of sacred Scriptures (sola Scriptura) to the point that, if they taught anything about the Christian faith which could not be proved by Scripture, they were to be ignored and the quotations demonstrated that truth.

   Any change affected in FR readers will not be because of arguments you nor I present but from how the Holy Spirit touches each heart that is ready and prepared to receive the truth as it is presented. I've already been convinced of the gospel of the grace of God which gives to us eternal life through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone to the glory of God ALONE. That you continue to niggle about minor points and words shows that it may be your OWN convictions that are questioned.

You were complaining about me wanting to use labels and you were doing it yourself.

Yes, I understand that you believe as Luther. I find him and Sola Fide to be in error.
