The requirement for salvation is not just a prayer. The requirement is an open , totally empty heart that's ready to be full of Jesus Christ. After saying the sinner's prayer, if in a few months your friends cant tell that you are born again, if your relatives can't see a change in you, if your teacher can't see that you're a christian, your probably not!!

Because let me tell you something, when someone's born again the get excited! it changes the way they live, what they do, how they speak, how they act, what they do with there money, their cars, their girlfriends--it all different! then how come it looks the same?? how come Christians are trying to ride the line?

THat is what they have been taught to do for generations.

If someone gets saved, Jesus warns them :
When your friends (at church and family and other) see that the God you serve requires a total life change, they will turn on you vicously gnashing at you with their teeth ....

..... NT

Because: "Christians are asleep in the light..." Keith Green <<---"Bananas for Jesus"...
So love Keith Green...his music, his story and the fact that his ministry lives through his wife and 2 remaining daughters.
Nice share!

Yes what a man of God, reading his book now, and watching some of his sermons on youtube its hard to believe someone that young could be so wise and mature in the Lord.

He was so hungry for the Truth. Once he found it, he lost his audience...they missed all his pre-Jesus music, which was all basically about searching for truth, lol.
