Ugh. Nobody needs Ray Comfort’s—or MacArthur’s or Platt’s or Washer’s— permission to be saved correctly. It is as it has been from the beginning:
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And THIS IS NOT YOUR OWN DOING; it is the GIFT OF GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”—Ephesians 2:8-9
and
“I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEARD?”
A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Imbibe these men’s compromised “gospel” and you’ll suffer for it. Ignore them and go sit under God’s Word. Good News for sinners can be found there!
“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.”—1 Timothy 1:15-16
Since you’ve got it all figured out, please ignore my posts. There are likely others out there, however, who are lost but have been given false assurance based on praying a prayer. They need to understand this.
