God can use anyone to do his work. He used Balaam, Balaam's donkey, the Canaanites, the Babylonians, the Herods, the Pharisees, and Pontius Pilate. God can use anyone.

But God's grace and mercy shown thrown me does not mitigate my sin. It is only by God's mercy that he uses us as his tool. Really, Romans talks about this.

This UBF argument can be used to justify any church or organization. When I was in UBF, all other American churches were termed "old Christian." However, God used them.

This argument is empty. What it is saying is, "If I sin, I do not have to repent because God has used me." That is a lie.
