***It seems that this would be a logical outcome of an approach to Christianity that interprets strong belief at the time of conversion as a guarantee of salvation.***


The modern American religion stresses personal experience and emotion over truth. We make more out of the actual conversion that than the actual life and death of Christ. Couple that with a lack of solid exegesis and you have people who are latching onto the latest spiritual trend. Whether it's the Prayer of Jabez, or the Purpose Driven Life, Christ is not preached. That causes a lot of weak kneed Christians.

That's an interesting observation.
