“yet served up the typical dish of feel goodism so prevalent in our society”

I say praise the Lord that someone is out there sharing the Word of God with Iranian Muslims. They were presented with the Word and they received it eagerly.

I am not sure what it matters if the ARTICLE mentions that salvation is an act of grace as long as we know that it is. It was a testimony not a theological dissertation on salvation.

I doubt that entering a Christian church, hearing the Word of God, prayers to the God of the Bible and a return to church service in IRAN (where they can die from these actions) is an act of feel goodism.

I was 18 years old when the Lord saved me. I did not understand everything about salvation. I heard the Word of God and I was convicted of my sin. I responded to the drawing of the Holy Spirit. I prayed a simple prayer asking for forgiveness for my sin. From that moment on I was changed, a new creation if you will. I am glad that no one was there to question all the theological points of my salvation experience.

You seem to have this idea that some specific formula with all the right words and experiences is needed for salvation to be real. This is what the Word of God says in Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Of course, you are welcome to your opinion.
