Diamondgirl - I think the bottom line is they really don't believe in grace - in the church I was in they never sang songs about grace - like Amazing Grace or Just As I am - they always sang really, really fast songs to get the emotions all pumped up and the adrenaline flowing. (like I'll fly Away, etc.). They were downright "self-righteous" and "holier than thou". If they believed in grace it would have made them humble instead of puffed-up with pride, arrogance and self-righteousness. (I believe it states in the bible: "that it's not by works lest any man should boast") and they were the most boastful crowd I ever saw - the pastor was constantly "boasting" about how much "annointing he had" how many "gifts" he had, how "holy he was", how "God was using him"., etc. It was sickening!!!!
