Do you forgive people who offend you if they repent and are baptized in your name and love you more than anyone else and have faith in you and call you lord? Will you "hew them down" and "cast them into the fire" if they are not fruitful -- i.e. if they don't serve you well enough?

I want to be, but I never will be. His mercy is unlimited.

In my flesh yes. My carnal mind works the opposite of His will. I measure everything by flawed human thinking. Unconditional love and everlasting mercy coming through me will only be the result of a supernatural act of God. Only He can love and forgive like that. It's a fruit of the Spirit, not a product of my
will.

Unconditional? Have you actually read the Bible?

Are you implying the Bible does not promote unconditional love?

as soon as someone is baptized in my name and calls me Lord, I'll let you know . . .
