Crossless Christianity
According to much of today’s evangelical teaching, it is easy to be saved. All you have to do is “accept Jesus” or “try Jesus” or “Ask Jesus into your heart”. If you are then comfortable with Him, well, you have a ticket to heaven but, if not, then you are no worse off than before [...]
