We can say "Jesus come into my heart" a million times and it won't happen unless there is true repentance and a true change of heart. I wonder how many will stand before God on that great glorious day and hear "depart from me I never knew you." David Wayne makes a valid point when he says we have misapplied the concept of being born again as a moment, rather than a process. Gestation, rebirth, and then living out that new life in fear and trembling. The bible is written so we may <em>know</em> these things are true. We needn't be unsure of our salvation, rather we <em>must</em> be sure. Something that tickles the back of my mind regarding the “one moment” concept, is that we are not saved by the sinners prayer.
