Praise the Lord Dare,

Its a beautiful thing isn't it?

God bless you sister.

I actually believe we were agreeing all along, we just had a few minor details to work out as far as putting our thoughts down in words, as to what brings about confession.

You have been a blessing on these boards.

God is just so good, and deserves all the honor for our salvation, even the very act of repentance.

Thanks again dare, I hope I havent offended you in anyway, sometimes its hard to sense a persons feelings when they are written down with no visible expression, but I never had any harsh feelings I was trying to express, just my thoughts.

Thanks again sister

In Jesus

Repentance is more than confession of sin, its a changed heart.

We are in agreement.

Thank you brother Kevin , and yes i do believe we are in agreement.....JESUS CHRIST DID IT ALL....AMEN AND AMEN...PRAISE GOD!!

And NO I am not upset even though i was beginning to get riled earlier ...

when it comes to the word i just dont want anyone twisting it or taking from it.....

because EVERY SINGLE WORD OF GOD'S WORD IS TRUE AND WE CAN REST AND HAVE PEACE IN THAT FACT ITSELF...HIS WORD IS TRUE....AMEN AND AMEN

And i dont want any room for misunderstandings among the brethren nor do i want it among those who are lost because they can become easily confused by our lack of knowledge of the word..i hope u understand what im trying to say...

its like the word says, my people perish from lack of knowledge......

God bless you brother and have a good evening.....much love in Christ, evang. dare

I started this thread because I was scared that people put so much emphasis on 'praying the prayer' that they forget the rest of the gospel.

I saw a guy pray the prayer one time and they guy who lea d him says that he is forever saved even if he never does anytihng again. It was s ad. The gospel is reduced to mere lip service.

I am not saying it is rong to pray the prayer, but I tyink that if one gets to the point where they want to, they are already saved.....well, after they are baptized....

JAKE . i know what u mean about leading someone to the LORD AND THAT IS THAT..... WELL, WHEN WE WERE FEEDING ON THE STREETS OF HOUSTON AND PREACHING IT WAS A JOB TO GET PEOPLE IN TO CHURCH OR EVEN STABLE LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING

HOWEVER ONE DAY MY PARTNER RAN IN TO ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE WERE FEEDING..... HE HAS GOTTEN SAVED BUT REMAINED ON THE STREETS FOR A WHILE

BUT HE EVENTUALLY FOUND A HOME A JOB A CHURCH AND GOT MARRIED.

I AS A STREET PREACHER IN THOSE DAYS SAW VERY LITTLE OF OUR EFFORTS BUT THERE WAS SOME.

MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU ........ KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FRIEND AND BROTHER . RICH

Confession is a result of the repentant heart.

I dont really see a problem here either, but there are particular religions, where you go into these confessionals, confess your sin and bam ( Ala, chief Emeril)  your back on the streets doing it all over again.

Repentance is more than confession of sin, its a changed heart. but if some think I am being arguementive or if I am making people sad, then I have said enough.

God bless.

Amen, we are on the same page!

Are u saying that because they are at a point that they are see that they are a sinner , that they are ALREADY SAVED?

OR ARE U SAYING,

I am not saying it is rong to pray the prayer, but I tyink that if one gets to the point where they want to, they are already saved. oh wait , lets go get baptised and then i will be saved.......i see i am a sinner now and im ready to repent, but wait i dont have too because i am already saved, no let me go get baptised as i am, a lost hopeless sinnner and then I AM SAVED.

WHAT????????? THIS CONTRADICTS THE WORD OF GOD..

REPENT YE AND BELEIVE THE GOSPEL/////JESUS CHRIST PREACHED THAT SERMON .

PERHAPS HE WAS LYING...PERHAPS HE DIDNT MEAN FOR US TO REPENT OF OUR FILTHY SINS,,,JSUT RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE A NASTY SINFUL HUMAN BEING AND GO GET BAPTISED....AND WHOPPEEEEEEEEEE WE ARE SAVED.

PLEASE GIVE ME THOSE SCRIPTURES<<<<<<<<<<

ED, your post is hard to follow.

Let me clairfy.

All that one needs to be saved is:

1. repentance

2. confession

3. baptism

4. perseverance

5. obedience

That is all.

If one is conviced by the Holy SPirit, and they choose to respond, they dn't need to pray the prayer because there is no magical words in the prayer......it is the condition fo the heart that saves......

[Guest Evangelist Dare]

MY DEAR BROTHER, CONFESSING YOUR SINS TO GOD IS PRAYER......WE ARE NOT SAVED BY WORKS.....READ THE WORD AND NOT ONLY READIT BROTHER, RECEIVE IT..IS GOD A LIAR? IS HIS WORD A LIE?

REPENT YE AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL......

I TELL YOU NAY EXCEPT YE REPENT YE SHALL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH..LUKE 13

BELIEVE THE GOSPEL..WHAT IS THEH GOSPEL?

THAT JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS AND AROSE THE THIRD DAY.

THE GOSPEL......

REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.....SIMPLE,,IF WE CANT TAKE THE SAVIOUR'S WORD WHOSE WORD CAN WE BELIEVE?

YOU KNOW WHAT, I HAVE A HEADACHE....IVE HAD ABOUT ENOUGH OF ADDING AND SUBTRACTING AND TWISTING AND TURNING GOD'S WORD AROUND TO PLEASE ONESELF....HAVE A GOOD NITE.....

SERVING CHRIRST JESUS, EVANGELIST dare
