Darrell:
Many grammars (Dana and Mantey, Brooks and Winbery,
Richard Young, David Alan Black, Ernest DeWitt Burton,
and Wesley Perschbacher) consider the "progressive
future" a legitimate separate tense usage. Othe lump
it under the Predictive Future.
Romans 8:11 seems to me to be just a predictive
future. there doesn't seem to be any ccontextual clue
that there is a progressive idea is in mind
