Dominic I really hope you know that God really loves you and does not want to send you to hell - that's the enemy's trick of trying to get you into self-condemnation. God is not a legalist, it's the enemy who is the legalist. he is constantly accusing the brethren night and day to God. But we have a trump card, the forgiveness of God FOR our sins by our accepting Jesus' blood payment for them on the cross. So our avoiding hell does not depend on our performance, it depends on whether we've accepted Jesus' blood payment for us; that is, whether we believe it. I know you know all this man, but you really can't read the NT legalistically as a set of rules, and if we fall short we're going to hell. It's just not like that. You can have assurance of salvation by Faith, by believing. I truly believe everything flows from that, even sobriety.
John 6
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
So the work is done bro!! (I know you know this, sorry to get preachy, but it's a done deal!)
