I apologize about my general sweeping statement. I did not mean to offend anyone. If I did I'm sorry. I was just expressing my opinions from what I've witnessed from Baptist authors and laity. But I was wrong to stereotype.

I'm just weary of anything being added to God's Grace. Yes I believe that our sanctification is a co-operation where we try our best to obey God's moral laws and biblical commands. But I also don't think becoming a Quaker is the answer. We need to be in the World and let our light shine even in the darkest places. I also believe that just because something is secular doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. But these are just my thoughts. I'm not really trying to prove anything, I was just sharing.

Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. - Galatians 2:16
