See the parable of the sower...
All to many people come to a church in remorse, get baptized, join the church club as it were... go home and live pretty much the same lives they did before!!!
"belief" as in Romans 10 is a verb, a word of action... action that transforms lives, souls, hearts...
In my former church at the end of the services, pastor would ask for a raising of hands for salvation... they would then be given a booklet and told they were saved... no followup,,,and we seldom saw them again...and most I think were only vaccinated against the true gospel salvation... and most likely are on their way to hell...
