    Should Unsaved Be Told To "Ask Jesus Into Your Heart?"

    More, from "Grace To You" web site: https://www.gty.org/library/Print/Blog/B160120 "Too many people assume their entrance into God’s family is a function of their own earnest desire. Phrases like 'Asking Jesus into my heart' or 'Accepting Jesus as my personal Savior' are emblematic of a...
