Also i noticed that he talks about how indivisualistic salvation is but that is the way salvation is. I, meaning me, need to repent and accept christ as my lord and saviour. You can't do it for me, my mother can't do it for me not even my preist. This is the way God did it. What is universal in the the gospel is the statement at his birth in Luke 2:10 "I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." So salvation is to all people. They Just have ti indivisually choose.

A bringing and an accepting. A Kingdom of the Gospel perspective and a Gospel of the Kingdom. The bible is clear that the Kingdom lies within us as believers. But that birthing process is the individualistic aspect of receiving salvation. Where it gets of is when it stays isolated. The sign of a maturity is giving. And the most precious gift we can give is the Kingdom of God. I believe that it must be a balance of the two. A bringing and an accepting.

The sad thing is that is how most of today's Christianity wants it. The easy prayer makes it happen scenario of salvation is much easier. Accepting by grace requires us to admit some unsavory things about ourselves. Chris and Josh –

However I think what happens when you subscribe to such a statement people seem to get flat out angry. Salvation is definitely through faith alone, in Christ alone, by grace alone. However we seemed to have cheapened it down to say a prayer and bam you are in. This is why we have so many people that profess faith in Christ when in reality have no faith in Christ. Good post. And I want that book ha. I would agree with this statement totally. However I think what happens when you subscribe to such a statement people seem to get flat out angry.
