get your facts straight...this song was written by Gerald Crabb not Alvin Martinez.
When I was a teen I started get brainwashed by this Paul-Washer-super-spiritual junk - thank God He brought me out of it. You say to judge by the scriptures, but you didn't mention a single scripture in your nasty analysis of this song. Mr. Washer, stop perverting the gospel...Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
@pilgrim7100 Even so, to believe on Christ has nothing to do with an altar call, which are not found in the New Testament, but essentially came about by the mourners bench first popularized by Charles Finney, which eventually developed into the modern day altar call seen today. Instead of taking it back to the altar call or to even when the person first confessed Christ, they should rather take it back to Christ and His Word, this is what the confidence should be in.
@pilgrim7100 Also one doesn't have to follow Paul Washer to come to these conclusions, although there is much truth in what he preachers, there is also danger that one may look to their own self instead of Christ, as what he preaches could be mistaken for a works based salvation. As well I agree that I could have done a better job commenting on this song, thoroughly going through Scriptures to explain the point better, but nevertheless the main point still remains.
CAN YOU PLEASE RE-POST THIS SONG ON YOUTUBE WITHOUT YOUR TALKING AT THE BEGINNING. I SURE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. I'M SURE A GOOD PART OF YOUR VIEWS ARE ME, SKIPPING YOU, AND LISTENING TO THE SONG.
This song is amazing!! It is more than just a "silly little song". I feel that many people need to re-evaluate their salvation and stop giving the devil so much control over their life. God Bless Alvin Martinez, may he continue to sing to the Lord. Blessing...
@av1611preacher The singer said he know he got saved... you are going to make a judgment and declare that he didn't? For this person, this was the time and place. Your condescending remark is unwarranted.
@jbooks888 I think you have misunderstood my remark. My understanding of seanpaynedotnet's purpose of posting this video was to highlight what he belives to be the danger of putting trust in an 'experience' as opposed to 'what saith the scriptures'. My remark was intended to ilustrate that I understand where he's coming form, but we must be careful ourselves not to overanalyze whatis basically a silly little song. Byt he way, we sing this song at our church, it's just not one of my favorites.
I would personally disagree with your view of the altar call. The altar call is a time when one who has heard the gospel message and believed comes forward to repent. He is not speaking of the altar call as assurance. He is, instead remembering that it was then that he believed the gospel and repented.
