The truth is this: I am a Southern Baptist, and the great majority of Southern Baptists are lost.
In that moment of salvation, of belief, they are opening their lives to the person of Jesus.
The problem is, even when we preach the Gospel correctly, then we go to this thing on how to invite men and it's not biblical or historical. We get them to jump through some evangelical hoops and say, "yes" to the appropriate questions and we pope-ishly announce them to be saved.
What is holiness? The end product of what holiness is it's to love God in the same way He loves Himself; it's to esteem God as much as He esteems Himself, and to separate yourself unto that love, and to keep yourself in that love.
What is Christianity all about? It is about an intimate relationship with God. And I HATE a christendom, a churchianity that God is not big enough and glorious enough so that we have to give them other things.
This country is no more saved than; well ... it's as lost as they say in Alabama, "... as lost as a ball in tall grass."
A man is saved only by faith ... only by faith.
I believe alot of churches in America are not churches.
The problem is not liberal politicians, its evangelical preachers.
AMEN, let Him take it all! He’s worthy!
When someone comes along later and tries to preach the Gospel to them because they're living in the world, they won't listen.
"But I got saved that way!" No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.
It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.
