The Great Privilege
by Paul Washer
Paul Washer is an itinerant preacher and the General Director for HeartCry Missionary Society, San Antonio, TX. He believes that no one can be saved unless repentance from and a turning away from sin is actually apparent as a result of their profession of faith, thereby testifying to the new nature that a Christian receives upon conversion. He defines a Christian as one who continues to grow in repentance in addition to placing their trust in Christ. Although Washer admits that no repentance is perfect, he affirms that a genuinely born-again believer will continue to bear fruit of repentance, holiness, and love for God until they are no longer able to do so. He became convinced that easy-believism permeated the world and that those who had said a prayer or believed in Jesus without walking in step with what the Bible teaches about "Abiding in Christ" (John 15) and being obedient, were genuinely at risk of not having been actually converted. He then decided to take this belief to others. He described himself as a 5-point Spurgeonist.
