Sorry, last post on this topic, I do realize I am off-subject <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/3stooges.gif" alt="" />
Tom, critical to the Gospel, I would say, is justification by faith alone. If you would like a more detailed exposition on my view of the Gospel we can take it off-line. However, all you will will not be of my own creation, but rather words from Ursinus' exposition of the Heidelberg catechism, Kersten's Dogmatics, Calvin, and the like. I do apologize for my lack of originality in what the Gospel is. Sorry to disappoint! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/coffee2.gif" alt="" />

Grace is not common.
