 According to Paris Reidhead, |
Mark Ledbetter |
"...we have a gospel hardened generation of sinners telling them how to be saved before they have any understanding why they need to be saved..."
"you see, dispensationalist took the Law of God away from preparing hearts for conviction and repentance. I believe that, in doing so, they committed a greater crime against the Son of God than all the 'modernist' enemies put together. For they succeeded in disarming the Holy Spirit of the only instrument He ever provided himself to prepare men for grace. Men must be convicted of sin. We must repent."
"This the nature of repentance. It is a change of mind, a change in intention, and a change of purpose. It is not merely 'accepting Christ.'"
"The whole 'Accept Christ' attitude is likely to be wrong, says Tozer. It makes Him stand hat-in-hand awaiting our verdict on Him, instead of our kneeling with troubled hearts awaiting His verdict on us. It may even permit us to accept Christ by an impulse of mind or emotions, painlessly, at no loss to our to and no inconvenience to our usual way of life."
He cites Charles Finney - "Repentance always implies hatred of sin. It is feeling toward sin exactly as God feels."
If this is true then, 1989, how much more is it true for our day?
