No One Has Ever Become Saved By Accepting Christ

The Bible teaches that God saved people in the Day of Salvation by His choosing of them – not their choosing of Him:

John 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you,...

Romans 9:15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

Therefore, no one in the entire history of the world has ever gotten saved by accepting Christ.

Making a decision for Christ or accepting Christ is a widespread false doctrine (gospel) churches and their theologians have developed – but it’s not taught in the Bible at all.

This is why Jesus said that (salvation) was impossible with man – but only possible with God:

Matthew 19:25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
