*believe to receive* is too much prosperity gospel.

It’s not really related to salvation but to getting stuff to spend on their lusts.

It’s not related to real salvation, IMHO; however, if one’s sole or primary motivation for believing is in order to gain heaven and avoid hell, then the phrase would fit there as well as the prosperity gospel pitch.

And I think it’s a fairly common pitch.
