“So avoid religious pride. Do a little systems check. Do a little self-examination. And wherever you think that somehow you are a Christian because of something you did, even as simple as getting up and walking down the crusade steps and coming to the platform and saying a prayer, or submitting to baptism, those things are necessary, but they aren't the basis by which you are a Christian. Salvation is of the Lord from start to finish. Amen.”
