Just speaking for me personally, I never did anything to get saved in the first place.
I didn't say anything about your (or anyone's) being saved. I asked how this "unity in faith" of all believers is actually manifested in reality.
Jesus loved me and my life utterly changed, not by my own merits (although I did believe but not even that was my own work), but through His.
Amen.
So I'm not sure how anyone should expect me to "do" things for recognition from men.
I'm not asking you to do anything. Again, I'm asking how a person's unity of faith is manifest in the actually existing world. You know, anyone can claim that we all believe the same thing, but there has to be some way of actually seeing whether or not that is the case.
Of all the things God has required of me I have done. If you don't accept this then its just not my difficulty, in my estimation of things.
It's not about what I accept or don't accept. I'm not a bishop or a priest. I'm just some guy, and I'm just asking questions to see how this ecclesiology is supposed to be realized.
.I don't know who your churches saints even are.. all i know is that God called me Israel, and I have followed Him since. Its not to you to accept it or not, it's to God to see this work in me that He began through to the end.
I never said it was up to me. Nothing is up to me. I'm sorry that I've somehow left you with the impression that I believe it to be otherwise, because I do not.
Yes I know.. you believe me a heretic. Seems a theme these days.
I don't know where this is coming from. Where did I call you or anyone a heretic in the post you are replying to?
