1 | Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly | John 1:12 | hobbs | 172368 | ||
Mark 7:7 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.' Dear Brother Mark, I understand why you have leaped over what I said, and came to a conclusion that had nothing to do with my remarks. A cherished tradition has been challenged and your immediate impulse is to challenge it's detractors. That being said, please address the points themselves. Is inviting Christ into one's heart Biblically sound advice or not? If you say it is sound, please provide it's sciptural foundation. I posted this article because, like you, I desire to see those who love darkness, come to love the light. The question is: How do we know that what we are preaching is the same gospel which Paul preached? The answer lies within the pages of God's Holy Bible. Titus 1:9 holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict. John |

Hi John, I want to share with you that I was talking to another brother in the Lord the other day, touching on this subject. He was the one who brought it up. He said to me "the reason some people seem to come to the Lord, but don't go the distance, is because they are coming for something else, something that they want, but not what they need." Naturally, this stuck in my mind, in light of the discussion we've been having. And as I've been dwelling on this, God has really been focusing my thoughts on this point: Regardless of how we do it, or how we think it happens, or what words we use, unless we are coming to the Lord because we realize our sinfulness, and our need for Him to remove it, and the way that He has made through the cross, we are not responding to the gospel, and we are responding to something else, which we may fool ourselves into thinking that we have received, but we haven't received Jesus. Is this perhaps the heart of what you were thinking? Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Mark, I agree with your friend. It is the gospel that has the power to save, and any departure from it diminishes the glory due to God alone. Inviting Jesus to come into one's heart,infers that the "inviter" has the power to veto God's will. That the power of the gospel to save may be overthrown bt the will of man. Matt 1:21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins John |
