Jesus said REPENT and Believe, not just Believe and you are saved.
Unless God’s annoited pastors, which I doubt Warren is, first preach Repentence, there will be no saving faith.
Or in other words, unless you know you are totally undone and incapable of helping yourself first, you will never have saving faith.
You cannot have one without the other.
BTW, it is not carnal religious judgement, but the righteous judgement and wrath of God, which requires the sacrifice of Jesus to remove. Man’s part is Repentence and Faith. The preacher’s responsibility is to ensure that the full gospel of repentence AND faith is delivered.
Repentance comes by the kindness of God, not the condemnation of man. I know there is another thing too often called repentance that some use to ignore there own sin and their great need for the mercy of God while beating others over the head with this man made repentance club. I fear for their salvation knowing how wide spread it has become. It sounds so right to their ears but having not the love of God they have nothing.
The Pharisees practiced just this kind of condemnation wrapped in judgment, they also called it repentance, it wasn’t, it was pride and hypocrisy?
Christians are ambassadors of reconciliation not accusers of the brethren. There are those that call themselves Christians though they practice the latter.
