Psychological Manipulation of the "Invitation"

"That's what the cults do." - Paul Washer

Many people think that because they prayed a prayer, walked an aisle once in their life, and/or raised their hand when all the heads are bowed because their "autonomous" emotions convinced them to at a certain point in time that they are saved even though they live as worldly and carnal as everyone else in the world. My question is "When do we just start saying that if a person continues in unbelief, worldliness, and carnality regardless of what they did at a point in time then the are unbelieving, a worldling, and carnal?

Do we really need votes that much as to forsake their soul?" We need preachers like Paul Washer; not politicians behind pulpits.
