A profession of faith is the only requirement. I think catholics may view it differently and may stand to be corrected by one. But for protestants, the profession of faith is it.

Then there other things that follow as the way to live, But the profession is what saves you.

I have been part of the Charismatic movement pretty much for the last 40 years. At times I am more devout, others less. I have watched all these preachers at times over the years, and quite frankly, I have never heard them say any of this hooey.

In fact in my life, I have never heard anyone say that Jesus was born again. Every one of them has talked about how Jesus told Nicodemus, but it was never self directed.

Likewise, I have never heard one preacher say that Jesus suffered in Hell. I have heard several speak of Jesus going to hell and breaking the gates and setting the captives free, but never that he suffered one second of torment in hell.

The article, I would note, attacks some good Christian preachers, but never once quotes any of them saying what they are claiming they are saying. This is not an article on theology so much as one to create FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) about some of the best evangelists of the day.

You’re correct that a profession of faith is the only requirement, but I think what she means is it must be genuine. That many people who claim to be Christians in reality are not can be shown from God’s words, “I never knew you.”
