PRAYER OF SALVATION
MORE COMMENTS FROM CRITICS AND FOLLOWERS:
So while he was attacking the law all these years, he was actually practicing the law? However,
many Christians justified the “tithe” by saying it was before the Law of Moses, however, so was
the Sabbath. So please tell me again why they honor one and not the other? Gullible Christians
will do anything to go against the laws of Yahuah!

CREFLO DOLLAR’S RECENT TEACHING ON
TITHING HAS SPARKED CONTROVERSY.
Dollar, a well-known televangelist and founder of the
Christian World Changers Church based in College Park,
Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta have admitted that his past
teaching on tithing was not correct in a sermon from 26
June 2022 titled, The Great Misunderstanding”.
He however said,” I won’t apologize because if it wasn’t
for me going down that route, I would’ve never ended up
where I am right now. But I will say that I have no shame at
all at saying to you, throw away every book, every tape, and
every video I ever did on the subject of tithing unless it lines
up with this.”
However, many have taken to social media platforms
to question the remorse of his admission. One such criticism is by David
Croteau, Dean of Columbia Biblical Seminary, South Carolina,” What if Dollar
had said ‘Get those books and tapes back to us, and we will refund you the
money? Maybe that would have been so impressive if he could have done
something like that.”
Croteau used the example of Zacchaeus who restored fourfold to those
whom he had over-taxed (Luke 19 verse 1-10). Zacchaeus restored to those
from whom he had taken. Creflo Dollar had not done the same.
The prayer of salvation/ sinner’s prayer is not a magic formula. Its
meaning is deeper than reciting mere words. The Bible teaches us
in Rom 10:9-10 that “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’,
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the death, you
will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are
justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and
are saved”. In other words it is an open confession of our belief in
the life, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Moreover this confession is the activity of the heart spilling over
through the mouth. This is what the Apostle Paul means when he
said “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power
of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the
Jew, then to the Gentile” Romans 1:16.
Jesus Himself says in Revelation 3:20 “Listen! I am standing and
knocking at your door. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will
come in and we will eat together.” Maybe you are paging through
this magazine because someone invited you to check it out or you
just stumbled upon it as you surfed the internet. I do believe it is
not a co-incidence. If something in this publication resonates with
your spirit and inspires you do not hesitate to invite Jesus into your
world as he knocks on the door of your heart. There is nothing
more amazing than to fellowship with the King of kings. Below is an
example of a prayer to except Jesus’ invitation to a relationship with
God. You can also pray by yourself using your own words. There is
no special formula as long as you pray from your heart.
Prayer:
Dear Lord
I believe that you died on the cross for me to save me. You did for me
what I could not do for myself. From this day forward, help me to live
every day for you and in a way that pleases you. Thank you for not
giving up on me when I gave up on myself. Thank you that You know
the plans You have for me, to prosper me and not to harm me. Instruct
me and teach me in the way that I should go. Counsel me and watch
over me.
In Jesus Name
Amen
