I know a woman who says she's been a "Christian" for 24 years & declares she is "spiritually mature" while stating, no one shared the gospel with her when she was saved, has been under false teaching all of her life, has had idols constantly since she's been a "Christian," has an "ever-present sin of pride & legalism," is extremely offended when I've shared Scripture with her to show her error, said a pastor friend of hers told her he "couldn't help her in her unbelief & she needed to look to the cross" & today she says she has no idea what he means by her "unbelief" & yet another pastor, knowing all of that, still believes that woman is a "Christian." How is it that men standing behind the pulpit cannot discern between true & false converts? Or, do they not care that wolves are among the sheep?

Just the title to this article is wrong on so many levels. This is so obviously man-centric and completely not Biblical. The idea that Jesus chooses anyone because of their own qualifications or because God thinks they are awesome is ridiculous and nullifies the need for Jesus to purchase our redemption. No mention at all of repentance or submission to Jesus as Lord. It's the old " God thinks you're great and wants to bless you so much" approach instead of the correct " you are a sinner who needs a saviour and that savior is Jesus" approach. God doesn't save us because we are awesome, God saves us because He is awesome!
