Salvation is not intellectual assent or acknowledgment of power or presence, but a heart fully surrendered to perfect Love.
Isn't there a certain arrogance in thinking we can reason our way to God, reason our way to salvation? If that were the case then people would only have to "think" correctly to get there, leaving each of us responsible for our own salvation.
We may use logic and reason to find our way out of a false system of beliefs, but we cannot use intellect and logic to reason our way into a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Relationship with Jesus comes when a heart unstintingly surrenders its independence and embraces the love of Christ.
"For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
(Romans 10:8-13, HCSB)
