I remember hearing R. C. Sproul once saying something to this effect: "If one claims Christ as Savior, one is immediately involved in doctrine/theology because in order to know Him salvifically one must first know Him and by necessity that requires one to consider His claims. It's not enough to say, "Just give me Jesus." As soon as one begin to answer the question, "Who is Jesus" one is plunged headlong into theology.


Trust the past to God's mercy, the present to God's love and the future to God's providence." - St. Augustine
