I fully agree (though that is not what makes it an excellent post, LOL) and am concerned about the direction that easy believism is taking professed Christianity in America and around the world. This post goes along somewhat with the final post in a seven-part series on scriptural repentance that I put up on my blog a little while ago:<br /><br />http://meditateinthyprecepts.wordpress.com/2014/07/12/should-we-expect-converts-to-christ-to-demonstrate-a-changed-life/<br /><br />Thanks for the post. <br />TimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-63456480613435072242014-08-01T09:10:47.227-07:002014-08-01T09:10:47.227-07:00Dear Daniel,

I wish more would read this and be challenged on their view of "assurance."<br /><br />I have been to 168 different independent Baptist churches in the past 15 months. (And these are churches who's doctrinal statements would be right on the church, Supper, & baptism.) Sadly, I have seen a lot of this in the "ranks." These churches use a shallow Gospel presentation, followed with immediate assurance given after a "sinner's prayer." As you refute in this article this practice is found no where in the Bible!<br /><br />On the other hand, it is so encouraging to see the few that are holding to Biblical evangelism. I appreciate all of the work that you do on this blog. I was able to meet you several months back in the St. Louis area at a conference you preached at. Since then I have followed you on this blog faithfully and have been encouraged through the reading of "A Pure Church." <br /><br />Keep up the great work Brother!Danielnoreply@blogger.com
