I trust your comments will help others to count the cost of moving forward with Christ. From my experience, and from the Word, I have no doubt that as you move in obedience to the corrections of the Spirit He will remain faithful and carry you (Is 46:1-10) through the tough stuff which often accompanies gospel conviction. May His grace carry you through the next season, Brett John,

For a long time God has been speaking to me about these very things. I was brought up in a brethen assembly where a somewhat partial expression was sought to be expressed. Since that time I have become a priest in the anglican church( yes, in the Romish Constantinian organisation ). The Lord Jesus , over the last year been has reminding me of the unlawful order that I have put myself under. It has brought me into a bondage that I am shortly under his hand leaving. I notified my bishop that I want him to recind my ordination vows to the anglican church. Whether he will or not I am renouncing them. thanks again, yours in our Lord Jesus, John. Brett you’ve unerved me with this radical truth.

Eph.1:4 Christ died and finished the work that would be necessary for the Father to place humans in Christ. All wrapped up were all the other methods God had used in the O.T. to get people saved & holy before Him. Now, in one moment, Christ had made it possible for the Father to put Christ in humans and have the kind of family He had always wanted. All other means for humans to please God were finished. 1Peter1:19-20 The other event that was finished was what Christ accomplished by His death on the cross. No more sin offerings had to be made by humans; no more self-effort to please God; no more self-improvement would be acceptable to God. The sin of Adam was finished once for all. The final blood offering had been made and now there was eternal life for all who believed. "It is finished" is the cry of ultimate victory for every human who believes. The awesome simplicity of salvation for hell-bound sinners is to simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Acts 16:31 How is it that we have so complicated the gospel? We definitely have some work to do. Kate What is important for us as we look at what was finished at the cross?
