i agree with this totally! awesome John Piper. even though he didn't talk about sanctification, which is SO necessary to actually be a Christian. i.e. Matt 7:15-23 and the whole book of 1 John, specifically 1 John 2:3-6 that does not mean that it's not happening. like he said he didn't really mention the Holy spirit but that does not mean that he didn't indwell the new believer. sanctification is just the proof that we actually have justification. it's beautiful how it all fits together.

What must someone believe in order to be saved? Well that's pretty obvious - Be a Hedonist - A Christian Hedonist - whatever the heck that is. And remember to stay on that piper treadmill and buy his books.

@MrUrosSrb i agree, that's why we need to be more patient, encouraging and less critical to help inspire people. the gateway is not through an intricate labyrinth of dogma, but by a simple belief in the person of Christ.

@lightbrownpoop It doesnt have to be.Some grow faster,some slover.But salvation is dependable on Christ work on the Cross,not on our change of behavior.We are still in flesh.Although we should grow in faith ,some grow slower.You can have a new behavior by converting to Buddhism too,does that make Buddhism true?U are saved because u believed.I am sure you are saved.But fruit inspecting can be hurtful to someone who is young in faith,and then he questions himself about salvation.God Bless.

@MrUrosSrb along with belief comes change. evidence a person believes, is that they act like a new person.

@lightbrownpoop U are saved because u believe not because u change.We still in the flesh but spirit reborn,that is of faith.
Thank you God for John Piper.

Wonderful! May you be blessed on your journey and hold fast to the Rock upon whom you have fallen.
You are absolutely right.
Never give up diligent study of the Scriptures, either. These will help to protect your heart and be an encouragement to you should you find yourself in trial.
Thank you for your cheering words, my sister.
