MISSING THE POINT - Myths About Personal Salvation We Buy Into

#1 - We Have Unlimited Options When It Comes To Personal Salvation

What we miss:

. That There are only two paths
. That Misdirection and Misinformation Exist

#2 - We Think Personal Salvation Is About Having the Right Stuff

. We Think Sincerity Counts
. We Think It’s About Doing Good Activities
. We Think It’s About Doing The Right Things
. We Think It’s About Knowing or Acknowledging the Right Information
. We Think It’s About Getting Into Heaven

The Bottom Line: We Think Personal Salvation is About What WE Do

A RUDE AWAKENING

Jesus’ Counter-Profession:

“I never knew you”

It’s not about what you do or what you know ... It’s about WHO you belong to

It’s about living under the personal leadership of Jesus
