NEGLIGENCE IN EVANGELISM

HIDDEN AWAY AND PROTECTED

I thought I’d post this because most Christians DO NOT understand that we will ALL BE TESTED during the ‘third through fifth seals’ before being taken to the ‘wilderness’ simultaneously while the ‘sixth seal’ is being opened.

With the ‘rapture’ coming at the LAST DAY of 5768, September 29/30, 2008, when Yeshua breaks us out of the sheepfold in the wilderness and we join the risen ‘dead in the Messiah’ in the air for 10 days while God pours out His ‘seven vials of wrath on a unrepentant world.

We must make our election sure and the following CWN article is correct in that we have to do more than just accept and go on.

We have to live this ‘acceptance out’ in our lives and neighborhoods SO THEY, OUR NEIGHBORS, CAN SEE OUR LIGHT, walking as Yeshua walked, thus living for Him, our blessed hope.

WE MUST BE STRONG BECAUSE

Our country will soon be terrorized by simultaneous events that will dwarf 911 and Katrina, proof is in these texts out of Jeremiah 50:22-25 and 50:31-32 that will end the 'second seal', BRINGING UPON US and the world, the tribulation of which Yeshua spoke in Matthew 24:21.

These events will spiral us quickly into the economic chaos of the ‘third seal’, with famine, pestilence and ‘concentration camps’ of the ‘fourth seal’ arriving, as its riders, the antichrist and false prophet, prepare to seal the unsuspecting masses.

Then the ‘fifth seal’ will determine those who truly “have the testimony of Yeshua and keep the commandments”, Revelation 6:3-11 and 12:17.

That will leave those who had been HIDDEN AWAY AND PROTECTED while the 'indignation' of Isaiah 26:20, is passing and the 'sixth seal' is opening, THEIR MOMENT OF ESCAPE on that 'simultaneous day' of recompense and redemption.

When the ANGELS WILL COME TO SEAL THEM AND DELIVER THEM into the 'wilderness' while Daniel's '2300 day vision' counts itself down through the 'trumpet' judgments and the 'end of the age'.

ARE YOU A FALSE CONVERT

Attention all churches! This is an information recall on the sinner's prayer that has been repeated over and over again for the last 100 years. This recall is an effort to repent before God for negligence in evangelism and to prevent more damage by producing more false converts.

For years churches thought that all a person had to do was repeat a prayer to be saved. The "sinner's prayer" IS NOT FOUND anywhere in the New Testament, nor is there a single instance of any sinner directed to pray for their salvation. In churches of all denominations, it is rare for people to mourn their sin. Instead, churchgoers are encouraged to just believe and repeat a prayer, which is meant to signify that they've accepted Christ as their personal savior.

The sinner's prayer goes a little like this:

"Repeat after me, Jesus I now confess to you all of the wrong and sinful things that I have ever done in my life. I ask that you please forgive me and wash away all of my sins by the blood that you have personally shed for me on the cross. I am now ready to accept you as my personal Lord and Savior. I now ask that you come into my life and live with me for all of eternity. I now believe that I am truly saved and born again."

Just believing in Jesus doesn't make you a Christian, just like believing in Osama Bin Ladin doesn't make you a terrorist. It is not a belief that recognizes someone's existence in history either, because even
the devil believes in Christ. "You believe that God is one, you do well; the demons also believe, and shudder," James 2:19 It's a belief that changes who you are from the inside out.

This recall is exposing churches that make light of repentance and claim it is the same as faith, or redefine it so that it has nothing to do with sin. The sinner's prayer is not the Biblical pattern for evangelism. Churches that use this technique are following a manmade formula. Throughout history, Bible preachers and prophets have always proclaimed repentance.

After extensive study and research it has been discovered that repeating a prayer does nothing. As a result, this recall will affect millions of churchgoers that have a false sense of eternal security because they have been affirmed by the local church for taking this action. We have found that repeating a sinner's prayer has no link to salvation in Jesus Christ. People affected by this recall include anyone who has ever attended church, a camp meeting and crusades and/or repeated the sinner's prayer.

As of Aug 31, 2007 there is an unofficial moratorium of the sinner's prayer.

Studies are showing that repeating the sinner's prayer has no saving power, no matter if it was repeated in front of one person or 10,000. No matter who led you in the prayer, whether it was Billy Graham or Bill Clinton, a signed pledge card will not save you. Salvation cannot be found through repeating a prayer. Action must be taken for those who trust their eternity to a repeated prayer to save them from the judgment to come.

Effective immediately, every person must examine themselves as instructed in 2 Corinthians 13:5. "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves; that Jesus Christ is in you unless indeed you fail the test?"

Has there been a change in your life?

This recall will be very costly for the church and they may or may not embrace this message. It will be too embarrassing for many churches to find out that the majority of their attendees are unsaved. There will be a clear, defining line between believers and make-believers. Many will continue in cheapening the gospel message that makes a mockery out of Christianity.

There is a big difference between thinking you are saved and being born again. Someone who is truly born again identifies with the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for their sin. The debt that they
could not pay and an eternal gratitude exists that reprioritizes one's life.

True saving faith (belief) is followed by obedience to the Word of God. It's a dying to self and to sin to protect the new relationship with an Almighty God. A believer's testimony is more than recalling a prayer that was recited. It must recall the events that brought them to the realization of the sin in their life and that their greatest need is to be forgiven by repenting and turning from their old life and walking with Christ.

For further self examinations please see 1 John 5.
