Bible Question:
Does anyone have a problem with Page 58 in this book, and why or why not? Thanks, arrow1 |
Bible Answer: Since none of us can judge whether a salvation is authentic or not it is hard to say whether this is right or not. Some say it is a beginning, others say it is all that is needed, some feel as you said is easy believism. Personally I think for salvation to take place a person has to realize his sin, his need for salvation and that Jesus provided that salvation. John 3:16 says whosoever believes, Peter said repent and be saved. I see them both saying the same thing. To me where John says believe in Jesus, that he is saying that Jesus came and died for our sins because we were in need of salvation and I was repentant of my position in sin. To me for salavtion to be meaningful the person must have some understanding what is going on. When I lead someone in the sinners prayer I have already taught them what is going on. Does page 58 work in don't know. It leaves me wanting more but God is the final judge. "If" that is all God laid on Rick Warren's heart to write then I have to believe it is enough. EdB |
