HC, to be honest it’s difficult to wade through your long answers and cut and paste. I’m left with having to guess at your answer rather than having a succinct and concise answer which leaves no doubt.
Where do I stand on salvation? Sunday I attended church where I, along with the rest of the body confessed our sins and received the gift of absolution as pronounced by the pastor.
I received the gift of Christ through the sermon which presented the condemnation of the law, exposing my sin and inability, but balanced that out with the gift of the Gospel to me in Christ.
I confessed and confirmed by belief and Union with the universal church along with the rest of the folks there through the apostles creed.
I received the gift of Christ through the offering of his body and blood in the sacrament.
