I ain't been out today or yesterday - working on sound proofing my party wall with quietrock and green glue.

I agree..but what happens if the person never recovers? I see that as burning out his conscience, quenching the spirit, committing the Unpardonable Sin, grieving away the Holy Spirit...how can the destiny of such a man be anything other the the Lake of Fire, unless we involuntarily force ourselves to exclude it?
We don't emphasize the law moreso than need be, nor elevate it to the wrong place. We teach the simple Biblical axiom that we're saved by grace, but judged by works because the kind of works manifested prove whether we're saved by grace.
When you think about it, in Jesus' day the people crucified Jesus and exalted the law, and today, many crucify the law and exalt Jesus. The devil is happy with the one or the other extreme.

Perxactly.
(Heb 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby)
(Heb 12:12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees)
(Heb 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons)

A good word from 1 Peter 4:14-16 ( KJV ):
"If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf."
