Doesn't the selling of sacraments reduce to: "if you give the pope money; your loved ones in purgatory goes to heaven quicker?"

comment How do Reformed Theologians view Hypnosis?
@Mike: your answer is great. I liked the way how you (1) take hypnosis (2) break it down into its roots (3) analyze each part separately. It's almost "algorithmic" in providing a fish vs teaching to fish. I've just been preoccupied with other theological questions (many most posted), and haven't had a chance to reflect on your response.

@Caleb: with al due respect, as I look over your comments, I don't see anything besides: different groups have different traditions; therefore, we need to narrow to one group / tradition.

This seems like a very small change (adding "According to Reformed Theology"). Are you going for something deeper? (i.e. rewrite of the question; or just a simple narrowing down to a specific set of beliefs in Christianity?)

@Caleb: So this is an issue that Christianity is quite divided on? (For example, the mention of "speaking in tongues is assurance" seems to be nullified by Paul's letter to the Corinthians ...)

You're absolutely right, as written, it sounds like true believers become sinless. How do I phrase this better "try to follow" seems to leave too much to interpretation, yet clearly "succeeding at following" isn't possible this side of death.

I recommend John MacArthur's "The Glory of Heaven."

comment What is the difference between “called” and “chosen”?
Concerning "We hold some Calvinist views, but not all" isn't TULIP all or nothing? How does Calvinism not fall apart after the removal of irresistible grace.

@Caleb: can you expand? I've actually always been curious about whether hypnosis is real or not (though Feynman's account makes me believe it's not complete BS) -- and I've actually always been curious about the relation between self hypnosis and high focus.
