Words far more applicable to yourself, both in this post and in your preceding
post.

And rightly so, as you might have guessed if you looked at the other answers to
your post.

No, "in point of fact", this is not what you said at all! You said "unlearned in
the doctrine of grace". It is _another_ proof of your presumption that you
equate that with the _Calvinist_ doctrine -- as you only now admit.

>"Judgment" reveals the heart.

As you yourself have pointed out often, only in _one_ sense of this word. And
that sense is inapplicable here.

operation of your own heart by denying the obvious.
