Greasy Grace has always been a problem for the Church (Sloppy Agape).  It is a permissiveness that comes out of hyper Calvinism and predestination without foreknowledge which includes freewill in time.  Many sold called Christians are under the illusion that they are saved like having fire insurance but it is a position without obedience.  Our Lord said very clearly that if we loved Him to keep His commandments.  That obedience to Him is the basic test of our relationship with Him.  In one situation He said that Many would call Him Lord but that He never knew them and sent them to the Lake of Fire.  "LORD" is a word that carries obedience with it,  without holiness no man shall see the LORD.  As He is so are we in this present world, 1 John 4:17.  Love by itself, can easily become indulgent.  Love must be balanced with Holiness and produce Kingdom Power to make new life in Christ Jesus.  New Age carries with it no obedience at all that I have ever been able to consider.  New Age seems to me to be pure occult.
