God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Saving faith is not a decision that is made, and it is not a mouthing of a certain formula. Even if the formula is recited in prayer, this is not saving faith. Manipulating a person to say go through certain motions and say certain words does him no good whatever. This is not saving faith. This is dangerous indeed. Can a man really be saved by saying 'yes' to a series of questions? Have we done them any favor by allowing them to think so? This is a misunderstanding of saving faith. It is a confusion of professed faith with true saving faith. This mistake has resulted in the unprecedented number of false converts which this century of evangelism has produced. Decisions and numbers there are, but the 'converts' are notoriously unconverted. This is a direct result of confusing decisions with true faith, and it is a blight on the church. It is also inevitable. And it is shameful. And it is harmful, for we have convinced unconverted people that they are safe.

c
Warm water; (105°F to 115°F)
2
c
All-purpose flour

INSTRUCTIONS
Sprinkle yeast over water in a small bowl; stir to dissolve yeast. Let
stand about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and salt to make a soft dough. Turn
dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5
minutes, adding more flour if necessary. Shape into a ball. Place in a
greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled
in bulk, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Sprinkle two large baking sheets or jelly-roll pans
with cornmeal. Punch down dough. Divide dough in half; roll or pat each
dough piece into an 8-inch round if making pizza. For focaccia, roll or pat
whole dough piece into a 13x9-inch rectangle. Top dough as desired. Bake on
lowest rack 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Makes 6 servings.
