Have we presented a false Gospel in American Christianity? Well, consider this: most Americans claim to be Christians, however, most Americans don't act like Christians. Could it be that most Americans aren't really Christians but have been presented a false Gospel which makes them believe they're actually right with God when they're not? Many presentations I've heard include things like: asking Jesus in your heart (where's that in the Bible?); acknowledging a few facts about Jesus; saying a certain prayer; walking down an aisle and kneeling at an alter; raising your hand if you agree with what the preacher's saying (as long as "every head is bowed and every eye closed" when you do this); filling out a decision card; or making society a better place (good works). There's usually no talk of repentance and forsaking of sin, no talk of denying yourself and taking up your cross, and no talk of holy living in keeping with repentance and faith. What is the outcome of leaving these things out of the Gospel presentation? Well, that's easy - false converts. A false presentation of the Gospel will result in false converts. Watch this video to see how the Gospel is clearly presented to a culture that has been mislead by an adjusted Christianity.
