I'm sorry but I cannot bifurcate "Haggard's position on theological things" and "showing grace", i.e., accepting that Haggard is truly regenerate. How can one who is not regenerate "do the work of repentance"? Let me make myself perfectly clear so there is hopefully no misunderstanding here. IF <-------- Haggard truly believes what he professes to believe theologically, then what he needs most is for God to show him some "grace" by regenerating his dead soul so that he may desire and do true works of repentance for the very first time in his life and believe upon Christ with a true living faith for the remission of his sins.

Haggard may be "sorry" for what he's done although it may be just sorrow for the shame, humiliation, etc., that has resulted from his sinful acts. And it is true that people who know him may extend to him some sympathy and try to offer aid, if needed, to him and his family.

In His grace,
