Becoming a Christian is a Process Tim Keller

[waynehilton]

Yes, he's correct. Though I don't agree with Tim on everything, but he's right about this. It's normal and even healthy for someone to hear and be convinced after the Holy Spirit speaking multiple times about the truth of the Gospel.

The title is totally deceiving. How to make the decision to become A Chrisitian is "the process" but actual conversion is instant & that of God not their idea.

Excuse me, Which book did he mention?

[angloaust]

The word christian is a general term
Describes anyone from a catholic to
A protestant
Elect is the scriptural term!

Like many, many, many others things, Keller gets this wrong.
You don’t become a Christian in a “process”. Salvation is a one time occurrence, while sanctification is a lifelong process.
2 Corinthians 4:16
Ephesians 1:13
Galatians 2:20

What is really interesting about all he said is that is simple not in the Bible. The Gospel is very simple; you are not a good person, therefore you need some one good and that is Jesus; repent and believe.

What this clip shows about Dr. Keller, is a very deep fear of man. Please read Galatians 1:10.

Christianity is a crisis, THEN a process.

[bradharford]

Interesting presentation. I agree and disagree. I agree that becoming aware of who and what we are in Christ is a process, but the transition from death to life happened for everyone before the foundation of the world in the heart and mind of God, and it was actualized or brought from heaven into earth when Jesus rose from the dead. When He died, ALL died with and in Him, and when He rose, ALL rose in and with Him. Same end result but a person is saved when Jesus saved him/her at the cross and they experience it when the awakening or revelation comes about who they are.

What a load of unbiblical hogwash, Tim just said exactly what a Christian isn’t. I’m amazed at how lost theologically Mr Keller is.

Two simple steps to become a christian:
Step 1: believe in lies and fairytales
Step 2: reject logic, reasoning, and reality
