Consider, for example, his endorsement of Alexander Hislop's book "The Two Babylons." There is no doubt that his tracts are nothing but a disgrace to the Christian church. I would definitely not give his website the time of day, either, as it is littered with KJV only revisionist propaganda (I used to be one of these).

In conversations like this one, it's usually best to be more specific. So I'd say that regeneration and justification are works of God - His work is sufficient and precedes any decision by the sinner. <br /><br />So for that reason any evangelism work would need to focus on convicting the heart with the Law so that any indication of repentance be obviously wrought by God and not by some emotional manipulation like the sinners' prayer is. The sinner needs to be completely shattered by his need for a Savior - What must I do to be saved?Rhologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245825667079220242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13358611.post-4828782652603807082017-06-07T15:29:56.380-05:002017-06-07T15:29:56.380-05:00Hey Mr Rhology (JK) ;)

IOW putting too much emphasis on the prayer, as opposed to the mindset (heartset)?<br />Quick question, do you have any suggestions on good literature about repentance? I'm studying the importance of repentance in salvation. Whether salvation is a work or God or man. (I know there is a lot of controversy on this subject, not trying to stir that up.) Just want to study it out. <br /><br />Thanks,F.

It's a powerful means of false conversion. <br />Rhologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14245825667079220242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13358611.post-90767686693958062382017-06-06T23:42:45.780-05:002017-06-06T23:42:45.780-05:00//They feed into the sinner's prayer mentality...//They feed into the sinner's prayer mentality//<br />Could you expound on this please?
