Regeneration v. The Idolatry of Decisional "Evangelism" (Paul Washer @ the Deeper Conference 2008 Breakout Session which was hosted by Living Waters & Way of the Master)

PW does not believe in eternal security or once saved always saved. That means in order to KEEP onself saved......they have to be remain sinless. (pretty hard to do, even Paul the apostle could not do it)

false. pw, john piper, etc do believe in once regenerated always saved. Because the Bible teaches that. That doesn't mean you have to be sinless. They do no believe in sinless perfection, but they do believe in tulip.

Just a "NEW" form of "WORKS" preaching.  He is saying that if you are not doing what Paul Washer is doing...then you were not saved in the first place.

Washer is in error and damaging believers.

Paul Washer isn't recommending you DO anything he's DOING. Being "regenerated" or being "born again" isn't something you or anyone can DO. Only God can do it.

i am glad it did

let me ask you a question

why do you come to Christ?

I rejoice that you were saved through the sinners prayer! But, it is a dangerous practice to do, to tell people if you pray this sinners prayer and ask Jesus to come into your heart, you are saved. We shouldn't EVER tell anyone they are saved, "make your call and election sure", that is to be done on oneself. If we take a look at the calling of Matthew Jesus simply said follow me. We are to preach the Gospel and disciple.

can one mentally ascend to salvation? If I say I believe and repent I am saved , go to church and read my bible and all is well? what if God said sell all your church building and give the money to the poor? would we? Currently just 3% of church offerings go to those in need, yet we are told to give 10%! I suggest give your church the equivalent of a movie ticket say $7.50 each week and then give 10% or more directly to those in need. Church in this country is nothing more than entertaiment.

i somewhat agree with you
but the so called churches that rely on entertainment do not deserve to called churches

AMEN, AMEN AND AMEN!!!

(Part 1) This is the UNADULTERATED truth of our day! We say to ourselves that we have watered down Christianity to save the more carnal from there ignorance to the truth. But in actuality we have watered it down to change it into what we want it to mean so we can deceive ourselves into the idea that we Christians
