Although Reverand Smith often preaches a good law/gospel sermon which should commended, he also teaches decision theology. He believes that an unconverted human being has a role to play in his own conversion. Lutherans such as myself believe that a person is purely passive in conversion. Faith is not a decision we make, but it is trust that the Holy Spirit works in us through the means of grace (the gospel in Word and sacraments). We believe that a person is purely passive in conversion because the Bible describes an unconverted person as spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1, 4-5), spiritually blind (2 Corinthians 4:4), in darkness (Ephesians 5:8, 1 Peter 2:9, Colossians 1:13), and hostile to God (Romans 8:7-8). A person who is spiritually dead cannot "decide for Christ." He has no power to do so.
