Salvation by 'asking Jesus into your heart'?

Should we "ask Jesus to come into that"?

Answering an “altar” car and asking Jesus to come into our heart deceive’s hundred of thousands if not millions in thinking that they are saved , but no that is not biblical.

Better an altar call than no call at all. A lot of people scoff at this, but it is nobody's business except
between the sinner and the Savior who said this: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man
hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:20).
This is addressed to individual sinners. "Any man" means any man, woman, or child.

Are people required to "receive" Christ as both Lord and Savior into their hearts? Let the bible speak:
He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he
power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:Which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:11-13)

At the same time, all those who hear the Gospel must also hear this: GOD NOW COMMANDETH ALL MEN
EVERYWHERE TO REPENT (Acts 17:30) Obedience to the Gospel is a command. But it is also a gracious
invitation (Rev 22:17): And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come.
And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

It
Philip didnt tell the Ethiopean to ask Jesus into his heart, He baptized him.
T

You twisted the verse to try to prove that water saves.

Water can't save a dog. Its just water., and God does not accept the city water supply to save you, or anyone.
Water is just water.

Philip told the Eunuch that "if you have believed with all your heart"....... so there is FAITH...........then, you may get baptized.

Just the witness, the believing, and then the baptizing.

Answering an “altar” car and asking Jesus to come into our heart deceive’s hundred of thousands if not millions in thinking that they are saved , but no that is not biblical.

So, we know it's a simple phrase children can easily do, but, Scripturally, are
we telling them The Truth? Jesus Did Say "let the little children come to Me,"
so just wondering, IF:

A) Jer 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:
who can know it?"

Should we "ask Jesus to come into that"?

B) Mat 15:19 "For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies" (cp Mar 7:21-22)

Why would "God, The HOLY One, The LORD Jesus Christ, Want to come into such
evil and filth"?

C) Would it not be better, in order to receive God's Eternal Salvation (Be Saved),
by believing What God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, Teaches About This
Important Matter Of sinful man's Eternal Welfare? - ie:

Humble Christ, on the earth, To Israel, 12 apostles, Under The Law/covenants
/Prophecy:

1) Repent (change mind about sin/agree With God "it is Wrong!") or perish
(Luk 13:3,5 Mar 1:4 Luk_3:3, 24:47}
+
2) believe the gospel of the kingdom (Mat 4:23, 9:35, 24:14; Mar 1:14,15)
+
3) be baptized "For the remission of sin" (Mar 1:4 Luk_3:3, 7:29:30 24:47;
Act 2:38)
+
4) "show works meet for repentance" (Mat 3:8), because,
+
5) "to the twelve tribes of Israel," "faith Without works is dead"
(Jam 1:1, 2:17,26)
+
6) "keep the commandments" to "enter life" (Mat 19:17)
+
7) "one thing thou lackest...sell ALL/take up cross/follow Jesus"
(Mar 10:17-23):

earthly prophecy/LAW/covenants ( Previous dispensation of God... )

Rightly Divided (2 Timothy 2:15) From “Things That Differ” (online)

Glorified Christ, From Heaven, To ONE apostle and His 'ONE Body,' Under Grace /
Mystery ( Current Dispensation of God ):

1) Repent (change mind about sin/agree With God "it is Wrong!"):


2) believe (with ALL the heart, trust, place 100% faith in) The Gospel Of The
Grace Of God:


3) "By Grace Are ye Saved Through faith..."

Plus Nothing!:


Plus Nothing, Confirmed!:


Plus Nothing, Further Confirmed!:


↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ The LORD ( With Grace And Mercy!!! ) Is All we need Today to Be Saved!! Amen!

Also Three Tenses Of God's Deliverance (Salvation) + good works for rewards:

Divided (+ I and II).

it's not the receiving Christ into their hearts that is at fault but their being called to the front.

Is "Lord be merciful to me a sinner" biblical?

Only God knows who gets genuinely saved and who does not. Nobody else can make any claims. But it is God who tells sinners this (Rom 10:9-13): That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Better an altar call than no call at all. A lot of people scoff at this, but it is nobody's business except between the sinner and the Savior who said this: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Rev 3:20). This is addressed to individual sinners. "Any man" means any man, woman, or child.

And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

The altar call is a most deceptive work of the flesh [I am not denying that many do get saved] but so many get up as if overcoming the challenge, there is too much "I will" in it ... instead of being a repentance it becomes a work of righteousness, a declaration of "I am responding to God's call -look at me-

It's a cart before the horse thing, I say let God do the work of grace first then we can step forward to testify.
