Are you talking "Presbyterian predestination?"

I'm not sure "act[ing] the part" will suffice. We still have free will and will make mistakes that others will see and take notice of. We must 'live the life,' not 'act the part.'

To "act as" is an action controlled by will; to "be as" is an action of surrender induced by grace and supported by the power of the HS.
