What does it mean to be a Christian? What I consider to be the greatest weakness of contemporary evangelical Christianity in America . . . did I say weakness? It is more. It is a tragic error. It is the idea – where did it ever come from? – that one can be a Christian without being a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. It reduces the gospel to the mere fact of Christ’s having died for sinners, requires of sinners only that they acknowledge this by the barest intellectual assent, and then assures them of their eternal security when they may very well not be born again. This view bends faith beyond recognition – at least for those who know what the Bible says about faith – and promises a false peace to thousands who have given verbal assent to this reductionist Christianity but are not truly in God’s family.

Amen. Our hearts should break over this. People who need CHRIST are not hearing Truth. They get John 3:16 and Jeremiah 29:11, and little else. This is such foolishness. People calling themselves pastors who have absolutely no business teaching anything that has to do with GOD’S Word. Vengeance is the LORD’S. They will be condemned most severely. We need to pray for these pastors, and the people they lead astray. We need people to point out error and admonish Scripturally these wolves in sheeps clothing. Keep fighting the good fight of faith and declaring truth defcon team.
