Why are so many church people not truly saved?

Les explains that he has a growing burden for lost people because he realizes how many, even church people, have never had a real salvation experience. He stresses that when the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of His coming and the end of the age, the first thing He said was, 'Do not be deceived.' The deception and false teaching flooding our country are part and parcel of the end times scenario. Les points out that those who are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh, and the carnal mind is enmity against God. In contrast, those who are after the Spirit have experienced new birth and are children of God. To be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
