So, the works don't really matter, unless you care what others think of you.
It has nothing to do with self exalting, a christian lives his/her life for Christ so others may see what Christ has done in their lives. Works have nothing to do with salvation, they are a result of salvation.

I do recall a bit of the bible where 'ol JC says that you are to keep your charitable acts and your prayers secret otherwise you're just showing off.
Matthew 6 unless I'm wrong.
I'm increasingly of the opinion that GC is just making this shit up as he goes along and really knows fuck all about his bible and his gods.

So when a woman murders her 5 children because she really, really believes that they will go to hell otherwise, that means she is a good christian.
Sounds reasonable to me
I've come to the conclusion you care nothing for a good conversation, all you are interested in is to insult. Cheap shot artist comes to mind.
I have no gods, I serve only the one true God. Jesus was talking about not showing off, pompous if you will.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
