In Church or In Christ

David H.J.Gay, arguing from the way John the Baptist and the Lord Jesus Christ addressed the Jews, concludes: 'Conversion, instead of being a crisis... is becoming a process: evangelism is becoming a call to "attend - complete - a course of instruction in the elements of the faith". Instead of: "Flee to Christ", the cry is: "Come to Church". Instead of unbelievers being confronted with Christ, no effort is spared to make them feel comfortable and at home among the saints. In this way, sinners are being made religious, when they need to be regenerated. Conformity not conversion will be the disastrous result. And that is why I have written this booklet. Nothing could be more relevant. As a matter of urgency, we must recover the biblical, new-covenant principles which undergirded the way John the Baptist, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the first believers confronted sinners with the gospel. We mute the biblical "You must be born again" at our peril, and to the ruin of a countless number'. A free download of the author reading the book is available on sermonaudio.com
