I believe it is time for every true born again Christian, and true Christian church, to stand up and be heard. I believe it is time to go out, far beyond our own church walls in a unified effort to share the truth about Heartfelt Salvation, before it is too late. So many people are being drawn in, deceived, manipulated, and truly victimized by the false teachings of many preachers and churches, whom we will be kind and say, apparently know no better, who denounce a salvation you can know and feel. We can no longer as a Christian people afford to sit back and ignore this great monumental problem. Our friends, our neighbors, our families, even our own children and grandchildren are possibly being deceived with a whitewashed gospel message that could surely send them to hell, lest they hear the true gospel message of salvation. Simply, no one is saved, nor can anyone have any assurance of salvation unless and until, the Holy Spirit comes into their heart and tells them so. Heartfelt salvation is a scriptural fact. It is all true, else the words of Jesus, and the words of the scriptures are a lie. But I maintain it is all true, and if you have been born of the Spirit, then you know it too, and we all need to say so. The most beautiful, most precious thing a person can ever experience is the receiving of the Holy Spirit into their hearts and lives. The Holy Spirit is the promised possession made to us in the scriptures by our Lord Jesus Christ himself as absolute proof that we have truly been saved and born again. The Lord promised concerning the receiving of the Spirit, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters, He foretold of a comforter that He would send that would dwell in us, that would teach, guide and direct us. The apostle Paul described the characteristics of the Spirit as love, joy, and peace, and that the Spirit bears witness that we are the children of God. Paul explained this magnificent experience as a foretaste of all the wonderful heavenly things to come, and only, IF we possess HIs Spirit will we be gloriously raised in the last days as our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ once was. Yet with all the descriptive scriptures and thousands of creditable testimonies over the years, and generations, that describe a glorious heartfelt salvation, many of the most popular and prosperous churches of this age, denounce, mock and in many instances ridicule a feeling type of salvation, calling it irrelevant. Many laugh at the idea of an old fashioned mourners bench, or the practice of continued prayer until there is a receiving of the promised Holy Spirit. Their sermons, teachings, broadcasts and writings, along with the millions of brochures and flyers distributed by religious organizations around the nation and world teach the experience of salvation is a fact, not a feeling. Many encourage us to pray the Sinners Prayer , and tell about the decision we have made to receive Christ. Most of these sermons, tracts, and soul winning bibles, make no mention of the need to make sure salvation has indeed occurred, by the knowingly receiving of the Holy Spirit as promised in the scriptures. What drives these ministers, church members and so called Christians to follow this doctrine and ignore very plain, precise, and descriptive scripture that cries out that the receiving of the Holy Spirit is a glorious event, and our assurance, that the Lord above has indeed saved our souls. There is no more pure religion than a religion where you bow before a living God, and He, by the power and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit assures you, you are saved. There could be not be a more real religion. There is no other religion. It is all real, and all taught so plainly in the scriptures. Salvation, and eternity is much too serious and final to be a guessing game. No preacher, no church, no other person has the right to assure or tell another they are saved, it is the job of the Holy Spirit alone to do this. This is the scripture. I pray Gods blessings upon this up coming book and ministry, that it will enlighten, and create a clear understanding of what it means to really be saved and made pure in Christ. I pray all will come to see that the doctrines embraced by many of the modern day churches can be most dangerous, and potentially destructive. I pray all will come to find terminologies such as making a decision for Christ and accepting Jesus as most offensive terms, in that they have most commonly and inappropriately been used as a means that often robs the Holy Spirit of working His intended purpose in us, treating it as insignificant in giving us that blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Please, Christian friends, begin your prayers for this great effort. Please do all you can to go, share and to tell. I just know the Lord will greatly bless, save, and bring gracious results if we will only do our part.
