Dear Mark,
You have obviously made up your mind. but I would like to address your comment about the importance of right division. No question, it is extremely important to rightly divide the Word of truth if we are going to understand God's plans and purposes. But I believe you are overlooking a message I posted in a different a thread you began. I would like to re-post that message because it proves that the place of works in God's plan of salvation is the same in the present dispensaion as it was in the previous one. Only the EMPHASIS has changed.
In other words, some truths are universal, and we will not understand them if we see them as different in different dispensaitons, and that is why you see no difference in Lynn's position as well as in mine and that of the Baptist church.
Furthermore, I did respond to your extreemly long list of an earlier post, but you chose to overlook it.
Anyway, here is the post from a different thread which proves that works are just as much a part of God's plan of salvation in the present dispensation as it was in the previous one.
In Christ,
Joyce
