Subject: Are we presenting the gospel scripturaly |
Bible Note: 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 |
