No Fair!
You only ended up saying that we agree on essentials and differ on particulars.
But that only glosses the issue.
Salvation come from Christ, yes, but what is the agency or avenue through which we get it?
So how is “placing my personal faith in Christ” not a work in itself?
I call this the evangelical sacrament of personal faith (faith alone, alone, alone). This is how you gain grace, personal faith alone. How is this not a work of the individual, how is this not cooperation with the Holy Spirit?
That is why you must be an Evangelical Calvinist 🙂 Solves all issues and brings harmony to all of existence. You know that Chris.
By the way…you used to be one 🙁
Michael,
Evangelical Calvinist? Solves problems but creates new ones 😉
Why not be a true original Evangelical – be Lutheran 😉

Dang…I knew you were going to say that. OK, will do.
