Featured What time did the sinners prayer come from?

This is but one problem he has. He is a mystic and is 'buddy-buddy' with the RCC and does not think they need to repent of their sins.

Read 2 Timothy 2:8-10.

Quality or quantity? He didn't know who the elect were, nor do we, but seemingly he sought all opportunity to preach to as many as possible.

Paul's follow up was to return to seek disciples in the cities he had formerly preached in. Not 'believers' but 'disciples'. He sought the quality after expending himself for quantity. I wouldn't ridicule, mitigate or question any who do the same.

 

Thanks for your ridiculing me as well here. I was merely responding to your address of evangelist6589's post. There was no point in your addressing him at all. Maybe you should read it again and take it to heart.

Before you start calling my posts stupid, and calling my intellect into question, first take a look at you and your response, which I addressed.

 

Right, and not many of us have to preach to spread the Gospel, and preaching it is not the only method. Evangelist6589 handed out tracts with the message of the Gospel in them, most likely with the Word of God printed on them. That said I'm not going to discount his efforts.

 

Yeah, realized the blunder this morning, lol.


God bless.

I know it's probably hard for you to accept because this doesn't fit the front-loaded works salvation model of MacArthurism and no mention is made of this man making a commitment, becoming a disciple, or even repenting

And FYI, his 'salvation was clinched' before the foundation of the world. Something else the MacArthurites profess to know yet routinely contradict and deny.

'Double-minded' describes it well, I think.

 

That's all I meant, his salvation was clinched prior to the foundation of the world and was realized in time. He did nothing to gain it and can do nothing to lose it. Yes, there is no repentance in your gospel message, I get it. I also see you continue to conflate evidence of salvation with working for one's salvation. No 'Macarthurite' does this, and that is the distinction.

BTW, thanks for throwing in the inflammatory remarks!

 

Yep the Calvinist brigade waits to come along and run through the entire thread to see how many posts they can disagree with. Then they go back over to their other forum and gossip about people on this board. They brag to each other when they think they have made some headway in defeating arguments or changing people's minds. They are quite proud of themselves.

 

Evan, I am glad that you passed out all those tracts. I used to be involved in a ministry which went to fairs and carnivals and had a booth set up where we would pass out hundreds and even thousands of tracts in a weekend. We had a private section at the back of the booth where we could take people and discuss salvation with them if they became more interested.

Personally, I am a big proponent of the "Romans Road" approach. I also advocate the use of the "Sinners Prayer", but not in a Willy nilly "pray this prayer and you're good" kind of a way. But rather as an example of how to pray, period. I usually say something like, "God knows your heart and your sincerity. This prayer doesn't save you, but rather your trust in His sacrifice for your sins".

I applaud your efforts, Evan. I do still hate the million dollar bill tract, though. That and anything made by chic. Regardless of what you use, I hope you have your church contact information on there so they can get in touch with someone.
