One of the criticisms of "easy believism" is a un-emphasis on repentence. You just sorta change your mind about who Jesus was and just sorta make Him your pal. Ultimately only that personand God know for sure if they are a true follower of Christ. If they realy anguish over their sins or not.

[P-Marlowe]

If they realy anguish over their sins or not.

If old things are passed away and all things have become new, of what value is your anguish? If God remembers our sins no more, what good does it do us to dwell on them?

Is there a requirement that you dwell on your sinful past or does God merely require you to commit to changing direction?

And is it your sincere anguish that saves you, or is it the blood of Christ which cleanses you from ALL sin?

Easy-believism is dispelled in my book by the fact that logically speaking, if all you need is faith, you can feel free to sin without repentance, maim, murder and pillage, and you're still going to Heaven.

And don't tell me that's *not* the case, because if you start throwing out "Well you can't just be an evil man like Hitler and sin" then you are adding on to "faith only" and quite frankly, using works as a criteria (one could assume that works would include being righteous, i.e., not sinning.).
