Featured Should People Ask Jesus Christ Into Their Lives???

Ok, do you have Scripture to support that position?

 

What on earth are you talking about?

 

OK well if you ever decide to get serious about. discussion let me know Ill be glad to engage.

 

Soooo.....you have nothing else so you attack someones username? Really?

 

And I'm the one acting like a child remember?

 

Bub you don't know enough about me to make that determination. Anyway you haven't presented a different interpretation. You asserted a claim with no biblical support. I don't care what you believe but if you are going to engage in a discussion forum you should be able to back up your assertions. Anecdotal testimony is not that.

 

It does say you aren't saved without both of those things. So if you haven't done both, I wouldn't expect to wake up in Heaven when I die..

 

I gave two references. Romans 1:16 and Matthew 11:28-30. Salvation is through faith in the gospel of Christ. Confession is a work as is a sinner's prayer and believer's immersion. While there is nothing wrong with such works of faith, none of those things are required in order to be saved.
The spectrum of Christian understanding Biblical truth there are issues.

 

FYI
Easy believism.

 

“Repent and believe in the gospel.” Jesus in Mark 1:15

“Repent and be baptized.” Peter in Acts of the Apostles 2:38

 

It's always a good idea to simply quote scripture to support one's position, isn't it?
(By the way, I'm being completely serious here. I do not wish to be misunderstood.)

 

Should People Ask Jesus Christ Into Their Lives???

It's bound to be better than asking him out of them.

 

It is a false narrative and an attack on easy believism, faith plus what would be a supposed required prayer in order to be saved. It is not by any means an honest attack. Lordship salvation is the false teaching, Matthew 7:21-23.

 

Well...except when Satan quotes scripture. Sadly there are many false teachers who can quote a sentence or two, out of context, to conjure up a false teaching. This is why the Bereans were commended for searching the scriptures to determine if Paul was speaking truth.

How might a false teacher misuse this verse in isolation?

If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.”
~ Luke 4:7

There are people here on the BB who ignore context and quote isolated sentences as prooftext for a false doctrine. They do so without ever having to explain their understanding of a passage.

So, simply quoting scripture is not enough. Satan simply quotes scripture. Muslims and Mormons simply quote scripture.

 

No.

No, and I know of nowhere in God's word where it is portrayed as such.
