Why do you keep using passages from the Law dispensation, which is a conditional covenant? Abraham was not under the Law, do you understand what that means?
Why I now believe that salvation can be lost.

22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'
Matt 7
Thinking about this verse there is a story of some pharisees using the name of Jesus
13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, "In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out."
14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.
15 One day the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"
16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.
Acts 10
Jesus is though addressing people who believed they were followers but are not.
I do know many groups who use spiritual gifts as the basis of authority not our walk in Christ.
So it is obvious that these people fall into this group.
OK.... I will show mercy and spare since you are sick......hope and pray you get better!
2 Timothy 2:19 New International Version (NIV)
19 Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.”
But the new testament says we "must" turn away from wickedness.
Get some rest, there is no hurry. EG and DC will always be provocative and respond like its a war,
when often it is actually about emphasis. They on the other hand regard their mission as to
destroy those they call the enemy. Gods desire is to save people, and reveal the truth in love
and care, which is quite a different approach. God bless you
Yes I am very unwell.
Flu? Just got back from AU....and they are being hammered by the flu

Father please bring sleep to Nat.
Yes I have a flu. Its horrible, I couldn't stop coughing all night. I felt like I was choking, didn't sleep all night. This flu is everywhere at the moment.
Yeah that sucks........I take mass doses of B vitamins and keep my hands religiously clean and rarely get sick......the Flu sucks........I totally disagree with you theological, but I do not wish you ill.....I really hope you get better.....Vicks on your chest....take heaps of meds....here we have TAMIFLU which shortens symptoms....stay hydrated and if worsens...go to the DOCTOR....the FLU can kill
God promised Abraham certain things that he would do for the latter. Those promises cannot be cancelled no matter what Abraham does.
We are also under the same unconditional covenant as Abraham, as Paul explained in both Romans and Galatians.

IE they did it to serve self. Not serve others.
Thats why one can appear righteous on the outside, Yet on the inside not be righteous at all..
That whole premise is wrong....the Pharisees NEVER done anything in the name of JESUS.......so that cannot even be correct...they hated him and wanted to KILL him...not do works in his name
