Yes, and let’s not do what the extreme Charismatics do... they separate an unconscious or “spiritual” feeling from conscious understanding of our faith in our minds (which is the Biblical definition of our spirit),

and this conscious understanding of Him in our spirits is what allows us to properly articulate our faith... whereby others are saved.

It is by hearing the Word preached that we are saved, not a mystical feeling, as some charismatic extremists or NAR types, preach.

The world slams us for our faith and of course, intellectualism can never comprehend the Cross.

Yes, we are saved by the preaching of the Word of God, which brings us to The Father, through The Son, who is The Word. God embodies His Word.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
