I have a friend who said he accepted the Lord years ago but that was the end of it. Said the prayer and then went back to life as usual. Obiously, it was head knowledge.

The reason I asked what you thought is because I know people who feel otherwise. That just because you say you have acccepted the Lord doesn't necessarily mean you're saved. You have to live it. But if you truly are, the actions will follow.

That scripture you quoted in Revelations has nothing to do with salvation; like I said doctrines and traditions of men/women run wild within Christian Churches. There are plenty of lukewarm believers that are saved. Like I said salvation is very simple. Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour; the rest is not up to us but up to Jesus. When we think otherwise we're over stepping.

Don't get me wrong there are plenty of folks attending church that aren't saved. But making salvation harder than what the scriptures teach is a man thing, not Our Lord's.

You have to live it. But if you truly are, the actions will follow.

Its a statement I will not agree with in the least. Many times that's the case; lots of times its not. I trust Our Lord in all things....your friends need to do that; they appear to playing the wrong part here.
