Discouraged by attempt to find themselves in profane life and disappointed by satisfaction, that they found in everyday pleasures, many people called for help the God's name. In that way they just directed their sinful hopes from their profane life to the sphere of spirituality.

Some people found an answer to their selfish and self-righteous motives in nonchristian experience of enlightenment, nirvana, etc. But, neither the experience of those who found answer in Christian new birth, often does not overcome the experience of those who are in nonchristianity.

The fact that many Christians in their prayers call Jesus' name does not mean that they really pray to Him and that they did not fall in the trap, that is characteristic for nonchristian mystical experiences.

Do we really pray to God, it does not depend on the name we call Him, but on the correctness of the idea of His character we have in our mind (Matthew 7:22-23).

Many try to avoid encounter with God right through the incorrect idea of His character. By that idea they suffocate the work of Holy Spirit and lull their unclean conscience.

They would say that God is LOVE and that He is JUST. But, using the idea of love, they try to make attractive so called God's tolerance to sin, while using the idea of justice, they present God as strict tyrant to sinner. Instead of representing God Who loves the sinner and does not love sin, they represent God as liberal to sin and tyrant to sinner.

Convincing the sinner in the fact that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), fearing him by eternal tortures in hell and preaching Jesus as our Redeemer, we will not make a man aware of his real sinfulness and guilt, neither we lead him to real repentance and reconciliation through Christ's blood. We will only make men, scared by God's "justice" (cruelty), to rush to God's "love" (sentimental indulgence to human sin).

By such distortion of God's love and justice, the unconverted motives of human heart and his unclean conscience are moved.

People are motivated to seek God out of selfish interests and fear of punishment, and not because God is good and just, by Himself.

Such idea of God does not require that a sinner should humiliate himself before God, admitting that he does not have love in himself, but it moves those fanatical tendencies which each person already has in his sinful and self-righteous nature.

Real and simple idea of God, who loves the sinner and does not love the sin, would not find any response in the unconverted heart of such believers. It is God's justice that would rightly reprimand their selfish interest by which they are moved to pray to Him, while God's love would leave their heart completely indifferent, because there would not be any use of it to them.

To avoid the reprimand for their selfishness, such believers underestimate the role of God's law, and some even claim that it is abolished on the cross of Calvary.

Without the Law they do not have a criterion any more, on the basis of which they could realize that the sin is bad itself (Romans 7:7).

The question is imposed to us: "If the Law, as a criterion of the sin, is abolished, what then they repent before God, for the fact is that they are always repent?!"

They do not repent the sin itself, but only the unpleasant consequences of sin in their feelings (guiltiness, nervousness, tension...) and in relationship with their neighborhood, (inconsideration, rudeness...).

Moved by the fear of hell, and touched by "God's" satisfying their selfishness, with tears they repent their bad thoughts, feelings and actions, but without God's Law, they still are not aware of their own sinful motives, and so, they could not repent them.

Sinful motives stay in their hearts, waiting in the next temptation just a new opportunity to manifest itself.

As they did not really remove the sin from their hearts, they are not immune to the temptations of everyday life. When they face the critical situations, then it can be seen that they do not build their house on rock, but on sand (Matthew 7:24-27).

They always try to suffocate their spiritual unrest by psychological peace.

Avoiding negative thoughts and feelings, they do not remove the sin itself from their hearts, but only the opportunity for its manifestation. Instead of changing the motives of their hearts, these believers try to change their emotions. Such experience they wrongly call "new birth".

Now, they directed their selfishness from physical pleasures to religious feelings. But whether a man tries to suffocate the awareness of his problem by alcohol, drugs, meditation or religion, it is all the same.

Their attempt to satisfy themselves abusing the spiritual music, provoking the feelings of mutual closeness and by the atmosphere of temple, reveals that they are still burdened. Real religion should reveal a man from burdens, and not be an answer to burdens. Instead of denying themselves, such believers found themselves in religion.

Unclean conscience burdens such believers and that is why they are not satisfied by simple faith in God, Who forgives them because He promised so. Jesus cannot give them peace, because they still did not subdue their will to Him. As a result of it, they try to realize that peace by themselves. They justify themselves by works in subtle way. They always search for the proof of their communion with God in their feelings or in various miracles and signs which follow their spiritual life, and which are the fruit of demon's power over them (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12). They do not talk about their spiritual testimonies in order to give glory to God, but to prove to themselves and to others that they are with God.

Their sermons based upon the Holy Scripture, as well as their behaviour, are often inspired by the spirit of unholy joy, which in that way suffocates their functional and salutary effect. Holy Spirit cannot inspire such unserious speeches and distorted movements. And the conscience of sinner is lulled in false certainty.

Preachers will often in their preaching reprimand right those fruits of fanaticism, which they sowed themselves by their teachings, while the believers, discouraged by their vain life, will often come to the edge of suicide or will leave the religion in general.

Although it justifiably critics formalism and coldness of sleeping churches, such attempt of reformation only replaces one kind of fanaticism (out of guilt) by another kind (out of sentiment), and so it presents the false reformation of our time.

Spreading the conviction, consciously or unconsciously, that people became privileged sinners through Christ's blood, this pseudoreformation helps individuals to sin irresponsible and free, in the way they never dared before.
