<p>What about "repeating a prayer after me, the sinners prayer!" Where is this is in the Word? yet we say we live to preach the gospel. If its not the gospel then folks are not saved. If folks are not saved when we preach, have we preached a lie declaring in the pulpit that which is false. Have we deceived people by preaching an easy believism?.</p>
<p>So how do we know what's the gospel and what gospel is the true gospel.. Look at what the apostles preached. In Acts. They preached salvation…</p>

<p>So how do we know what's the gospel and what gospel is the true gospel.. Look at what the apostles preached. In Acts. They preached salvation and souls were saved. So lets do it their way, would'nt you agree!</p>
<p>I'm not condemning anyone thats not the tone of my message just something I had to face in my own life that made me study the truth as it was in Acts, not the gospel which was and is now popular. If I can help another to see the apostles doctrine and not churchified stuff then Amen.</p>

<p>Has anyone found an example of someone, just one person who asked Jesus into their heart in the bible? of course what about the masses in the book of Acts were they saved and if so how?</p>

<p> Careful not to get caught up with <em>The Book of Acts Religion</em>. Man creates religion. God looks at and searches the heart. </p>

<p> Is asking Jesus into your heart simply acknowledging that He is your Lord and Saviour? Is it simply a public statement professing one's faith in Jesus? Matthew 10:32, <em>"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."</em></p>

<p>May I encourage you as a preacher to become involved in healthy discussion. See it as a way to foster understanding and so become better communicators of truth ourselves. If you can challenge your own ideals youre more likely to arrive at truth quicker than those that don't. What we should fear is not the test of truth, but the absence of it.</p>

<p>Thank you my sister for your participation...I feel this is a subject that all good preachers should have a clear bible based answer too. We are exhorted to preach sound doctrine and the only gospel... if any man preaches another gospel let him be cursed (Gal 1:8) and as you noted its common to preach a gospel where the message is "invite Jesus into your heart" and "pray this prayer after me".... The Lord bless you...</p>
