What the Gospel Is and Is Not: Clarifying Gospel Issues

*Accept Christ as Personal Savior
*Make a Decision for Jesus
*Ask Jesus into Your Heart
*Come to Jesus and Find Happiness and Purpose
These are some of the many phrases associated with the gospel in many Evangelical churches today. But are these biblical?
In this sermon from 2005 Bob DeWaay clearly articulates the one true Gospel, and compares it to the man-centered gospel of modern Evangelicalism. DeWaay traces the man-centered gospel back to Charles Finney, and discusses the consequences of his teachings. Common, unbiblical Evangelical terminology is discussed and compared to Biblical terminology. When essential Gospel truths are compared to the modern seeker-sensitive gospel, it quickly become apparent that the seeker gospel is no gospel at all.
