Bible Question: Can someone believe on JESUS for selfish reasons in a moment of feeling the need for something( ie. love, hope, peace, prosperity), walk the aisle at a church for salvation, yet not have a saving faith? I am reminded of Simon in Acts 8: 14-24. Was he saved? |
Bible Answer: Del The churches are filled with them. It is called easy believism. They believe in Jesus and have walked the aisle for fire insurance but they live like the world. There is no change wrought by grace in their lives. This and false teaching are the two biggest foes of the church today. EdB |
