Dave:
I'm not sure if I should continue. I quote scripture to support my
view...and you feel I'm compromising? Why get personal all of a sudden?
You see, I will reason, but will not engage in getting personal. So
maybe I should just quote Eph.2:8-9.

Dave:
Let's not get personal brother. I quoted the Bible too, i.e., Luke 6:37
& James 2:13, but did you take heed to it? I didn't word that in the
Bible. So it's not my theology.

Dave:
So do you go around calling everyone who belongs to another denomination
snakes, vipers, and hypocrites? Our Lord had reason to do so. It's
because they were hypocrites. Trinitarians love the Lord too. They are
no where near what the Pharisees were. Read Matthew 23.

Dave:
Why do you take the "Us VS Them" mentality? There are some on this forum
that don't take the approach as far as you. They know better to let God
be God in His sovereignty. You single me out as if I'm the only one with
a loose theology. I'm not interested in the "Us VS Them". It's not about
that. It's about "Let God Be God" for once. If God chooses to save a
person...so be it. He said that He would have mercy on who He has mercy. 
By the way, my name is in the Lamb's Book of Life. I've repented, been
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and have the baptism of the Holy
Ghost. I live a godly life. So what's your point? If I don't do it the
way you think, I'm lost? No way brother! I'm saved and know it! Glory!
