MIKE CONCLUDED AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER THAT THE “GOOD” FEELING THAT HE HAD WHEN HE WENT FORWARD AND SAID THE “SINNER’S PRAYER” AT AGE 8 HAD TO BE THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVING IN HIM.

THE FEELINGS THAT HE HAD AT THAT MOMENT WAS ADEQUATE CONFIRMATION OF HIS OWN SALVATION.

HE WAS CONVINCED RANDALL HAD TO BE THE ONE WHO WAS WRONG AND HE WAS THE ONE IN NEED OF PRAYER.

SOMETIMES THINGS HAVE A WAY OF BACKFIRING!!!!!!!

FEELINGS WHEN IT COMES TO RELIGION CHAPTER 14

MIKE RELATEDS TO RANDALL THAT THE FEELING THAT HE HAD THE DAY HE WAS 8 YEARS OLD WHEN HE SAID THE “SINNERS PRAYER”. “I NOW REALIZE THAT THE FEELING I EXPERIENCED AT THAT MOMENT WAS THE HOLY SPIRIT MOVING THROUGH ME TELLING ME THAT I WAS SAVED.” CHAPTER 14

“PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST” CHAPTER 14

“PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST” BILLY GRAHAM IS CREDITED WITH THIS PHRASE CHAPTER 14

“PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST” RANDALL’S RESPONSE TO THIS PHRASE: CHAPTER 14

“HAVING A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS IS A HOAX. IT’S ONE OF THE GREATEST FALSE TEACHINGS OF MODERN DAY RELIGION. YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE IT’S NOT TAUGHT ANYWHERE IN GOD’S WORD. NO ONE WAS EVER TOLD TO HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, NOR IS THE PRINCIPLE TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE.” CHAPTER 14

RANDALL EQUATES THIS PHARSE WITH MATTHEW 15: 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. CHAPTER 14
