Via: Kevin Harrelson AN INVITATION TO A CHRIST LESS ETERNITY..... (The dangers of Decisionism or How to give an assurance of salvation without conversion ) 1. Focus on the decision, not conversion. Then theyll remember their own wise choice, not Christs work on the cross. 2. Skim over the gospel and push the prayer. The actual gospel is simply too offensive. 3. Please your listeners with positive assurances; dont confuse them with the whole truth. Tell them what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. 4. Emphasize Gods goodness, not His justice or holiness. Talk about his love, not His legal requirement that demands sacrifice for sin. Let them think they are headed for heaven no matter what! 5. Describe Jesus as Saviour, not Lord of our lives. Promise His blessing but, by all means, ignore His warning about counting the cost! 6. Don’t mention sin, guilt, hell or wrath. No need to offend them with the whole dreadful reason why they need the Savior. 7. Whatever you do, never mention Judgment Day. Too distasteful! You could lose both friends and financial supporters. 8. Add some humour or rousing music. Lighten things up. Dont sound too sober or serious. 9. Don’t mention repentance until they’ve repeated a sinner’s prayer. Then your project wont be aborted by sudden doubts or reservations. 10. After they pray the prayer, celebrate their achievement, not Gods grace. Be sure to praise the deceived sinner, not the God they dont know that they dont yet know.
