Those who have not had an experience with God sometimes think that religion is accepting a list of beliefs.

This is not helped by churches that publish a pamphlet called “What We Believe”

Contrast this with Jesus saying “Follow me”.

But we must be clear about what we believe. There is heresy out there!

This may be part of the frame, but where is the picture?

“Who do people say that I am?

They said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus says that the Father in heaven revealed this to Peter. Nathaniel had a similar experience. But this was not a requirement to begin following Jesus. This is the work of the Spirit. To reveal more about this man, the Son of Man, to the human heart.
