'Easy believism' — intellectual assent alone does not save; genuine faith produces transformation and works

Skeptics Respond To The Evidence For The Resurrection of Jesus 00:41:08 – 00:42:09

Q&A — response to JD Wolfe's question about 'easy believism'

Mike explains 'easy believism' refers to the idea that merely intellectually agreeing with Christian doctrines constitutes saving faith. He argues this is not true saving faith — genuine faith involves trust in the person of Christ and produces real transformation. He cites the book of James and the work of the Holy Spirit as correctives. He also warns the term is sometimes misused to smuggle works-righteousness into the gospel.
