Teaching theology to a heathen will not bring him to faith in Christ. He may learn the evangelical vocabulary and verbally affirm the truth. He may accept the truth of a list of gospel facts. But without a divine miracle to open his blind eyes and give him a new heart, he will only be a theologically informed pagan, not a Christian.
- John MacArthur
The Gospel According to Jesus p. 74.
Amen! Can anyone lead me to a gospel presentation on the internet as perfect as it can be? How should we preach the gospel to people with reformed theology in mind? Yes salvation is all of God, all of grace, all of faith, all of Christ but as His heralds of the gospel how do we enjoin reformed theology into our message and not end up promoting Arminianism?
