I see and hear so many talk about the power of the Holy Ghost. Do you all trust the Spirit to lead people to righteousness or do you need law to help?

I, for one, don't believe this is a religious argument many are making.
I do, however, believe there is much in Scripture that talks about "furthering the cause of Christ (read: GOD) in terms of caring for the poor, the oppressed the powerless, etc.... We don't legislate the cause of Christ. But this is a straw man argument because thus far I haven't heard that.
