I say, at the risk of alienating myself from the friends I have, I would like weigh in on this one. Maybe it is not our faith that saves us - but Christ in whom we have faith. jt: If we have the right kind of faith then it is the faith of Christ, after all it is He who is both author and finisher of same. wt: It was the object of our faith who lived, died, rose again, and ascended to sit next to his Father. We are in him now, as he mediates and sanctifies our poofahs. jt: Without faith it is impossible to please the Father who calls an unbelieving heart evil... How can we be sure we are "In Him?" wt: So wonderful is it to know that we are saved by him! I fear that when the emphasis shifts from Christ to the Jesus-and-me of modern Christianity, then what becomes finally important is 'my faith,' 'my decision,' 'my conversion,' and not really Christ himself. jt: Is it totally out of the ballpark to take responsibility for oneself? bt: Please don't take any of this the wrong way. I know that I am bucking against the goads here. If I'm all wet, then shake me off or toss me towel. jt: Just contributing something different for consideration.... since you may be reacting to the "faith" movement where ppl are taught to have faith in their faith Mr. Bill. I don't believe from what I've read from Terry that he is one of these.
