Inviting Jesus Christ into your heart

Inviting Jesus Christ into your heart is not biblical

Majority of Church Age Believers are traditionalists because of the following reasons:

They do not take time to examine their church teaching.
They follow their leaders without questioning.
They go through ritualistic routine without evaluating their Scriptural basis.
They follow their church practices without even understanding their meaning.
They never question the teaching of their pastors or leaders.
They continue to practice things without even understanding their origin or meaning.
They keep protecting their distorted teachings

One of the popular but distorted teachings is based on Revelation 3:30, where they got the false teaching of accepting or inviting Jesus into their hearts. Revelation 3:20 is not about salvation but rebound which is to maintain fellowship with God. To say that Jesus Christ at the door of the heart is to superimpose a lie with the Scripture did not support. A Biblical doctrine is form and supported by all other doctrines.
