The next time your heart is indifferent toward sin, think for a moment of what sin cost your Savior on the cross. Think about His lacerated back ripped open to the bone from the Roman scourge. Think how He suffered for a breath of air as He extended His bloody body up the vertical beam of the rugged cross. Think about the splinters that dug deeper into His freshly cut wounds with every movement. Think about the large spikes that pierced His hands and His feet penetrating deeply into nerve endings. Think of the slow suffocation as Jesus hung there in the nude, mocked by the onlookers. Jesus didn't die for His own sin; He died for ours. '[He was] pierced through for our transgressions… [He was] crushed for our iniquities' (Isa. 53:5). Does the love of Christ compel you to turn from that which brought Him unspeakable anguish?

And you believe any believer-priest/ saint can do the sacerdotal duties, right?
Anyone can baptize, anyone can pass out the bread and wine right?

Stan comments:  First of all I don't think you really believe like sacramentalists that certain special people are able to administer means of grace (bread, wine, water, word etc.). We can all do that right -- Nee would say that.

REPLY: You are correct. Perhaps I should have said "performing the sacredotal duties" I was searching for something rather defined and "means of grace" was the first thing that came to mind. I understand how in some circles my words could have been misunderstood.
