I have no idea what your "unbiblical doctrine of holiness and perfectionism" is, probably a CofC thing. The scriptures teach that "without holiness it is impossible to please God" and that "without holiness noone will see the Lord" So what do you have against it?
John: What's wrong with accepting the fact that "righteousness" is a gift bestowed upon us, not something that is earned through obdience (Romans 4) judyt: Because this is not entirely true, we can't make a doctrine from just one scripture because scripture interprets scripture and scripture teaches differently ie: "Little children let noone deceive you. He who PRACTICES righteousness is righteous just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil for the devil has sinned from the beginning" 1 John 3:7,8. JudyT: As for Greek tenses and verbs - the Holy Spirit can communicate with or without them - all Greeks are not saved are they? ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
