These ears are not going to listen to something they don't agree with.  They are only going to listen to something that scratches their itchy ears and convicting them isn't scratching, just burning.  I've seen many forums where they get very defensive and rude over trying to justify their sin as you hit such a sore nerve with them.  The main problem lies in the fact that they are so certain they have received a spirtual gift, that they then think it is their posession and can use it as they like.  They lose sight on who gave it to them.  They feel they are being rewarded for their work for Christ.  And, in a way they are right, they are being rewarded, by man.  However, unfortunately that shall be their only reward. it's no use.  They will not listen.  They are too far deluded.  Their love of fame and fortune is too great to work for God for free.  They feel the ends justify the means.  Such a pity they twist scripture to suit their wants.  I suspect our posts will surface on their judgement day as evidence they were warned.  Unfortunately their responses will also be revisited at that time.  Such a shame that they can't even entertain the idea as something deserving of their attention.  Their certainty of their justifications is very alarming.
