Alter Calls and the Sinner's Prayer

-
Alter Calls are examples of free will preachers seeking decisions for Christ by getting people to move to the front near the podium. They were often times accompanied by a canned sinner's prayer which was thought to instill faith in Jesus Christ.

Of course, the Apostle Peter never used alter calls or the sinner's prayer in Acts Chapter Two. He knew the gospel that he preached, not free will decisions, was the power of God.

The many popular preachers who used either one or both of the two methods included Billy Graham, Billy Sunday, Benny Hinn, David Wilkerson and DL Moody.

There is no salvation in these free will exercises.

The Gospel Alone is the Power of God

This gospel message (the Power of God), is the ability of God to cut the heart with the message of Jesus Christ having risen as Savior, from the dead. This gospel affirmed by this blog is now specifically focused on Jewish people and many races that have Jewish DNA, and many Mediterranean and Latino people who have Jewish ancestry and don't know it, per the prophesy in Romans 11 spoken of by Paul, the Apostle of Jesus Christ.

Historically, most races and nations could have DNA of ancient Hebrews or current Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews in pockets of their populations, because of sailing, wars, close proximity, silk road, etc.

Ancient Hebrew (Gedrosian admixture testing, Gedmatch) and post Christ Jewish DNA could be found almost anywhere. And this DNA could be washed out, for some, who are actual descendants of Jacob! So, this blog is not shutting out the possibility that many have descent from Jacob from places like Africa, the Arab middle east, and India, China, Russia, etc as th…

My Christian View of Israel's Purpose

-
As a Christian, I have a world view concerning the nation of Israel, from a biblical perspective. I first want to say that I view Christian Zionism as not being Christian at all. Israel has a purpose but it is not what the Christian Zionists think.

Israel's existence heralds the end of time.Israel's existence is not for the reestablishment of the old covenant. If Christ is the perfect sacrifice, there is no need for another temple or the reestablishment of the Levitical priesthood.

Israel's existence is a mixed blessing. I believe that while it is God's will that Israel exist to the end of time, it has none of the spiritual status of the Old Covenant. Christ's covenant is in force now. There is no need for another Zion.

My DNA connects me to Israel, and to Jews in many places. That is why I say it is a mixed blessing. Christ basically prophesied in Luke 21:24 that the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled once the fig tree was established again. The elect Gentiles wi…
