From “What in the World!” from BJU:

Many Presbyterian Church (USA) pastors preach what the apostle Paul called “another gospel.” PCUSA pastor Amy Miracle, for example, recently spoke at a conference put on by a group of liberal Presbyterians. In her talk, “Are You Saved?” Miracle details her dislike for conservative “salvation talk.”

“The truth is that the language of salvation has never made much sense to me,” she says. “‘Christ shed his blood for you.’ ‘Jesus died for my sins.’ I’ve never understood exactly how that worked.” Miracle concludes that “the language that has been associated with salvation is not helpful. ‘You need to be saved because you are bad – you are a sinner – you have done evil things and you are no good.’ I don’t know about you, but I don’t respond well to that language…The way I see it, salvation is not about being bad. It is about being lost, about feeling restless, about experiencing brokenness.” Miracle concludes by answering the question she poses in her sermon title: “Are you saved? The answer is always yes.”
