[Faith-talk] Thank you, everyone!

Daniel, this one took me by surprise; I think that message is a 
couple weeks old, and I've slept since reading it.  Since you didn't 
leave the message you replied to, I don't know what was originally 
said.  But, I believe you're right.  You claim your identity in 
Christ immediately upon receiving salvation.  I believe that what 
Scripture means where it says, "There is none righteous, no, not one" 
refers to those who think they're righteous without God.  Well, 
something like that.  I'll stop before I prove my ignorance.
