n.e.c. 250.104 says the equipment grounding conductor run with circuit conductors feeding a gas appliance is permitted as bonding means
Yes, the grounding of equipment is for safety reasons not operational reasons. By grounding equipment, the conductor, if the equipment develops a short circuit to ground, supplies a low impedance return to the distribution panel where is is sensed by the circuits breaker. Once the breaker senses this short circuit current it will trip the circuit open.

It allows for a separate equipment grounding conductor
The conductor used to connect equipment or circuit to an earth electrode is earth bond or in some cases a supplementary bond. This will be generally carried out using a copper tape or an earth cable.
The grounding conductor is green, green with a yellow tracer or bare copper.

NO some armored cable has a ground some sealtite has copper in the helix wit the drain shield some liquite has no conduction at all all armor is a helix which is a coil and acts as insulation at hi frequency xlpe cross linked polyethylene is an insulator service cable is never used for grounding grounding electrode conductor grounding equipment conductor grounding conductor are all separate from service cables if a tall trucks hits an overhead cable you dont want to lose the ground in short NO

As the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground, ground and neutral are closely related. Under certain conditions, a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding (earthing) of equipment and structures. Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures, so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations. Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth, care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rises to a high voltage with respect to local ground.
