Have you heard or do you have any information about the debate between James White and Gary Demar Federal Vision: Heresy or Biblical Doctrine?

Mr. (Dr.?) Samples:

If you are asking for a greater miracle than the creation of "matter, energy, space, and time" 13.7 billion years ago, my mind goes to the following statement from Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, in which he quotes Thomas Aquinas:

"This explains why St Thomas (Aquinas) likes to say: 'The good of grace in one is greater than the good of nature in the whole universe.' The slightest degree of sanctifying grace contained in the soul of an infant after baptism is more precious than the natural good of the entire universe, all angelic natures taken together included therein; for the least degree of sanctifying grace belongs to an enormously superior order, to the order of the inner life of God, which is superior to all miracles and to all outward signs of divine revelation."

This could take us back to discussions of II Peter 1:4. Your thoughts??
