I cannot recall the exact words, but John Owen once said something like this: 'The two greatest soul-damning delusions in the world are: (1) Men and women think they can be in the kingdom of God and go to God's heaven without being born again; (2) Men and women think they can be born again and not be new creatures in the Lord Jesus Christ.'
This, sad to say; describes the majority of Baptists in our day. They teach (and practice!) that sinners may enter the kingdom of God through a simple change of mind, giving mental assent to a few chosen verses of Scripture, and/or repeating some form of a so-called sinner's prayer. But the Scripture is plain and clear, "You must be born again."
Furthermore, they teach that once the sinner has gone through this ritual of decision making, then he or she is certain for heaven, though they show no interest in God, his Word, his gospel, his glory or his people. But the Scriptures are plain and clear, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old thugs are passed away; behold; all things are become new."
Precious soul, if the faith you have has not caused you to think differently, love differently and live differently than you did before you possessed it, then the sooner you get rid: of it the better. God's people are born again, born of the Spirit of God, created in righteousness and true holiness. That precious faith which God gives to his elect is a "working faith," a faith which "works by love" (Galatians 5:6; I Thessalonians 1:2-10).
