It is certainly implied that before one can ever believe by faith and repent of sin that they would need to see their need for a Savior to have faith in and recognize sin to be repented of. <br /><br />I would not fight against the idea of POVERTY OF SPIRIT being a stand-alone point between HEARING THE GOSPEL & FAITH AND REPENTANCE.<br /><br />Good thoughts.Erik Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09386746092284995691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132219789253130273.post-36919691915028137972011-06-08T11:09:39.215-05:002011-06-08T11:09:39.215-05:00What about "recognition of sin?"

Somewhere between "hearing the Gospel", and "faith and repentance", should be "recognition of our sinful condition." I believe this is the catalyst for our NEED for a saviour. This step is most likely included in the "Hear the Gospel" step, but to me, it stands alone, because of the significance. Please correct me where I'm wrong on this.
