“Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says it’s “heresy” to believe that an individual can be saved through a sinner’s prayer of repentance.”
Don’t the Scriptures teach.....”And he brought them out and said, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ So they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 16:30-31)
I can’t find any place in the Holy Scriptures where it teaches a principle that one is saved by reciting a “sinners” prayer.
What concerns me more then Schori’s denouncement, is the fact that she is serving in the office of bishop, which is clear from Scripture, an office only reserved for men. That’s the first problem.
Arminianism will ultimately lead to Universalism and chaos.
Have thankful hearts. I remain teachable.
