     | 7,010 views

    There is a growing belief within the church that a person who is a believer in Jesus is considered a Christian and has therefore been given eternal life after they say the "sinners prayer." This is an in-depth multipart message

It is true that Judas was one of the multiple disciples Jesus ...read more
