Beloved, I have in time past been in your shoes, I understand you very well. Although, I’m may not look like your Pastor, yea, I will never be.
My bone of contention is this:

Telling believers that it is by good works (trying to)  that will make God to bless them apart from their faith is obviously a fallacy.

 
Come to think of it, Apostle Paul was mad at the people of Galatians because of what you are currently doing, “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?” It would be repetition if I direct that question to you again but you seriously need to be asked.

 
The stuff was a gift because you had faith, “This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?” Teach this rather than going into the scriptures for ways to please God.

 
Our Brother Jesus Christ said, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” You see? Total reliance on Christ. I guess you are the Pharisees of our time?

 
Finally, I write to you not as unsaved but one who is saved and eternally secured. Come to the newness of the Spirit and of your place in Christ, quit Condemnation, quit Cajoling people to pay tithes scaring them with God’s wrath, quit antagonizing the Grace ministers because happy is their feet, quit sin consciousness, you are above that already; stop professing the vengeance of God, stop preaching hell to believers; Jesus didn’t preach all that even to sinners.

 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, if you embrace holiness, righteousness, perfectness, because that’s who you are, you will overcome your fears.

 
My regards to your teachers, tell them I love them so much but they should study to teach well. Send my greetings to your Pastors, I respect their services for you.

 
Don’t be robbed of the knowledge of your place in Christ. The Grace of our brother Jesus Christ is with you all. Shalom.

 
Your brother in Christ.
