I have no time to try and unravel what you might possibly mean by this last part. When we are IN CHRIST, this is a work of the Spirit, and as the Spirit puts us into Christ, so Christ puts us into the Spirit.
This is called "buying time." I intended it as a qualifier to your anticipated answer and, I kindof nailed it. You and I do not mean the same thing when we speak of sinlessness in (eis) Christ. Yourmeaning , as I understand it, is what I have described above. Mine gives God the credit apart fromany effort.
Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
