I believe my motives were good. I really wanted to see people be saved. However, with the over emphasis on free will, I was leading a bunch of people to a false profession, albeit in ignorance.
I would pray and witness, lead sinnners in "the sinners prayer", and later become distressed about the lack of faithfulness of the converts. When it finally dawned on me, by God's free grace, that my responsibiblity was to present the Gospel and the rest was ALL GOD, a great weight came off me. The Scripture says "has newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the Word". Looking back, I had a lot of stillbirths.
Still I admire those in the IFB movement who pour thier heart into witnessing to sinners. It's just sad that thier is so much error in thier theology.
