Yes, you are. You are jumping to the conclusion that Mark 16:16 has nothing to
do with free will.

And your not doing that very well either.
>He's the one reading something into the passage which isn't there.
No, he is not.
>You, inadvertantly, back me up by also saying that it isn't there.
No, I am not backing you up. That you should claim I have is truly amazing. It
was YOU, not Gary, who claimed that Mark 16:16 has nothing to do with free will,
and it was YOU, not Gary, who tried to claim that this follows from the use of
the indicative in Mark 16:16. But it does not follow.
>Gary should take note.
Practice what you preach. YOU take note.
