A-G, good will judge everyone according to his or her deeds. Spiritual pride is not a ticket to salvation. It's a feel-good self-delusion. Unless you fit the description of those mentioned in Beatitudes, I wouldn't get too comfortable in the ejection seat.

I am not in the least bit worried, dear kosta50. I believe God and I trust Him.

Moreover, He has promised "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" (Luke 6:37)

- so it is the "not judging" and "not condemning" and "forgiving" that I'll be concentrating on.

I think spiritual pride comes from you, not AG or myself. To know something is not to be prideful and we both know who we are in Christ and who HE is in us. I feel sorry for you. Works are judged, yes, but works are not how you get into heaven. Salvation by works is a false claim. One only gets to heaven through faith in Jesus Christ. When you have that, you WILL have works and deeds, ones that HE has fitted for you. I think you have things mixed up.
