The term "Personal relationship with Jesus" is not in the Bible
Does that mean we shouldn't have a personal relationship with Him? Ha ha... not hardly.
I talk to Jesus just like Protestants do (or claim to..), although sometimes it seems I don't do so enough.. (considering how hideous the condition of the world is and etc... etc).
But it always bugged me... that one word: personal
Does this mean, to protestants, that you should not have a PUBLIC relationship w/ Christ? Do some protestants believe you should check your "relationship with Christ" at the door of your business or school or whatever? Well, in that case, I don't believe in having this kind of relationship.
And frankly, I do know of people who are like that... they claim to be Christian and act like it on Sunday but... when it comes to a public proclamation of what they stand for... uh.... stutter stutter..
But Jesus said that if you deny Him before men, He will deny you before the Father..
