1 | Is John 3:16 for real? | Bible general Archive 1 | Jensen | 29721 | ||
Dear DanK…..You wrote…. "At the moment, I'm struggling with the concept of decisional regeneration.........Wouldn't it be more accurate for me to say to a lost person, 'Pray that God the Father will draw you to Jesus, and if He does, you will be saved'"? I like the grouping “decisional regeneration” and I clearly understand what you mean. We have called it second guessing or thinking a thing to death. By using the method of decisional regeneration you inevitably must achieve a state of inaction resulting in the question never being asked. Is that the intention of God? Well, not according to the great commission. I have no advice, only the observation. You realize, of course, that you may be posing a new “secret phrase” that must be used in order for a man be saved ------ saved properly------in a particular circumstance. Is salvation the object of the prayer, with the heart a given, or is the object to ask for salvation regardless of the heart? I will push on in the company of salvation as the direct object of the prayer. God Bless….Jensen |

Good morning Jensen, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about witnessing to the lost. I do so agree with you that we need to concern ourselves with the directions given in the "great commission." We can then safely leave the rest up to God who will "add to the church daily, such as should be saved. Your conclusion that salvation should be the direct object of our prayers for the lost is what I most heartily agree with. I appreciate the Biblical basis of your reasoning. Yours in the Lord, Dan K. |
