Easy-believism handles the message differently, but the effect is the same. It is the promise of forgiveness minus the gospel's hard demands, the perfect message for pragmatists. It has done much to popularize "believing" but little to provoke sincere faith.

Once again MacArthur nails it. I think this is the number one biggest problem today. Just "believe" , say the sinners prayer and that's it. No need to put on the righeousness of Christ.

So salvation is the result of HARD WORK, huh? Are you saved because you believe, or are you saved because you work real hard at it?
