Jesus taught HEAR AND DO.
Jesus NEVER went around teaching, "trust in what I have done" or "trust in what I will do." Jesus taught HEAR AND DO, STRIVE, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, DIG DEEP, DO WHAT I SAY, COUNT THE COST, LOSE YOUR LIFE, PICK UP YOUR CROSS, DENY YOURSELF AND FOLLOW ME.
The "trust and receive" message is premised on the false substitutional teachings where people think that Jesus swaps places with them. It is a PROVISIONAL false gospel presented as a PACKAGE. One "trusts in and receives the package" and they are then CLOAKED IN THEIR SIN because they swapped places with Jesus. It is a hoax.

Jas 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
...yet these wolves will NEVER contend for such. The implanted word (the Word received wholeheartedly within, ie. abiding in the Spirit) can only be received if one first lays apart ALL filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, in other words if one REPENTS.
The dynamic of salvation is "purification through obedience to the truth" ie. yielding wholeheartedly to the grace of God whereby we are quickened unto life.
1Pe 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
One cannot undergo such a transformation whilst still in rebellion to God.

Hear and do is also great, but believe and receive too. How else do the lost get saved if you only do pray and evangelize and not believe and receive?
