21. There's no real scriptural basis for....
....'accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior'.

None whatsoever.

No person in the Bible ever did, no scripture ever teaches that.

Some will claim Rev 3:20 validates that view, but that's misinterpreting the message to the Church in Laodicea.

It's a creation of American Protestantism that promotes cheap grace.
