PS - It bugged me all night that I used the phrase, "Play the game" when asking you about how someone is saved. On a topic that all of us would agree is the most important one of them all, that was inappropriate.
I'm an sinner-idiot. So, in a much more serious tone, "How do you believe someone is saved?"
I told the Elder Hussung my reasons for not wanting to answer his question on here. He understands. I hope you will as well.
Essentially: 1, its hard to give an exhaustive explanation on here of any point of theology. I can hit some points well but miss others all together--not purposely, but it can be the bane of my existence if I miss one aspect and have to write one post on top of the other; 2, people don't take the time to really read what I write and therefore make all kinds of claims and assumptions about something that I already said plainly; 3, people don't want to be understanding about a different viewpoint, even if its not that much different from their own view of "orthodoxy."
I'm not trying to sell you a book, tickets to a show, or even my ideas. I'm trying to figure out what life is all about. I have no agenda. Writing helps keep me sane. Blogging is cheap therapy.

I guess I proved my own point.

Hope that makes sense, buddy.
