Most evangelicals do not teach it does not matter what you do after you are saved nor Once saved always saved or Calvinistic perseverance of the saints (even those who do teach these errors do not usually condone godless living as believers).
@godrulz37 The Bible does teach that once a person is saved God keeps them saved (unless Jesus is a liar John 10:28). But the Bible also teaches that a saved person is a changed person and will not live a life characterized by sinful living (2 Cor. 5:17; 1 John 1:6, 2:4). But what do you think about Christians telling others to repeat the "sinner's prayer" and giving them no Biblical counseling, no follow-up, and then telling that person they are afterwords born again?
@james3v6 I share your concerns about parroting a sinner's prayer. I am also a fan of Finney, Moral Government Theology, Keith Green, Open Theism, etc. The Holy Spirit gives assurance through the Word, not a preacher to those who get fire insurance without true repentant faith.
A lot of merit in this video. I like the inquiry room concept... good food for thought. talkingfortruth general thoughtsare noteworthy. Edwards' 5 stages had elements of was sinner's prayer. thanks for posting
There is some truth in this but the narrator sounds like a lordship Salvationist and a lot of his accusations against Billy Sunday were wrong. He never told people they were saved! Notice how no source was given. Yea so what If he bragged about what God was doing. Paul did similar boasting and even said "that I might save some" even though God did the saving!

Billy Graham is a heretic. Listen to him speak now. He's basically a universalist.
