   Mark, Hello. I’ll just tell you. I’m familiar with this Washer video. I agree with his principles. But to come out and say that your profession of faith means nothing. That’s too much. I just think he was so into making his point, he went over the top. I have more, but it’s just my thought. -Bob

   Hi Bob!

   Nice to “see” you again. I certainly understand who Washer’s word may not be so pleasing to the palate. He could have chosen better wording.

   However. There’s always a however, isn’t there? It seems the context in he’s speaking explains a little more of what he means.

   Washer said

   And He goes on and He says this, verse 21: Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my father who is in heaven will enter. Do you know what your profession of faith in Jesus Christ is worth? Absolutely nothing. Yes. Did you read that passage? Study it. Not everyone who comes to me and says, Lord, Lord . . . not everyone who professes, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of heaven. There are many people who are going to profess, “Lord, Lord,” but they are not going to enter into the kingdom of heaven. My dear precious child, are you one of them? “Lord, Lord.”

   Moving ahead a little.

   The evidence––the way that you can have assurance that you are genuinely a born-again Christian––is that you do, as a style of life, the will of the Father.

   You say, “Oh, you’re talking about works.” No, I’m not. I’m talking about evidence of faith,
   and it goes like this. Your profession of faith is no proof that you’re born again because everybody in this whole country professes faith in Jesus Christ. Barnard tells us that 65 to 70 percent of all Americans are saved, born-again Christians. The most Godless country on the face of the earth. Kill 4,000 babies a day but, bless God, 70 percent of us are born again. How do you know that the faith you have is not false? A style of life that is concerned about doing the will of the Father, that practices the will of the Father, and when you disobey the will of the Father, the Holy Spirit comes and reprimands you either personally through the written Word of God or through a brother or sister in Christ, and God puts you back on the path again. If you’re a genuine Christian, you cannot escape Him.

   Then he goes on to give an example. I do understand though. I wish there were more preaching like this which includes biblical language dealing with repentance and faith.
