EPHRIAM777 Just a question. Doesn't that type of logic make us do nothing christians? What about the verses in the Bible that talk about going out into the harvest and the master returning to receive increase from his "talents". As a Pentecostal christian, I believe very much that inner salvation will generate an outer manifestation (You will know a tree by it's fruit etc). I have been taught for years that "easy believism" is on par with being infidel because basically people that adhere to "easy believism" live lives that are just as sinful as regular old, unsanctified sinners. I am not saying that you are suggesting that I just feel justified living in sin or being a nonparticipating attendee of church, but that is what comes to my mind when someone says... "You just need to believe and trust God to be your sufficiency". The difference is... I am not only looking for God to IMPUTE RIGHTEOUSNES AND HOLINESS to me... I want Him to IMPART RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS to me. I don't just want it credited to some mystical account in the sky... I want to have in my day to day experiencial (sp) back pocket to draw from. Do people that adhere to (what I would call) "easy believism" actually receive the Holiness I am thirsting for, and if so... Why is it that I don't see any fruit in it. AND--- Do people that adhere to Old Time Pentecostal (some might call it legalism) "holiness standards" receive real experiencial (sp) Holiness... or are some of them just really good at faking the outer fruit? zaccinyak

I guess in my heart I want to be 100% Holy and sin-free, and that just isn't possible in the flesh or on the Earth.

Have you noticed that there seems to be a lack of righteousness among believers today?
