“The piety of "having a personal relationship with Christ" ... is alien to the New Testament... but evangelicals elevate it to the shibboleth of salvation!

“The gospel of submission, commitment, decision, and victorious living is not good news about what God has achieved but a demand to save ourselves with God’s help. Besides the fact that Scripture never refers to the gospel as having a personal relationship with Jesus nor defines faith as a decision to ask Jesus to come into our heart, this concept of salvation fails to realize that everyone has a personal relationship with God already: either as a condemned criminal standing before a righteous judge or as a justified coheir with Christ and adopted child of the Father.” HeartChildrenFactsHelpingAsksFatherJesusChristRealizingDecisionFailingJudgingDemandNewsConceptsCommitmentStandingSalvationCriminalsScriptureRighteousGood NewsSubmissionJustifiedAdoptedRelationship With GodPersonal RelationshipsPersonal Relationship With GodAdopted Children Book:Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church Source: Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church
