Frank Schaeffer:

The idea that faith consists of signing on to a series of statements, such as "I believe in the Trinity" or "I believe that Jesus died for my sins" or "I believe that selfish genes rule!" and that somehow, by saying these things as sincerely as possible, I get "saved" or "enlightened" (the secular version of redemption) is crazy.  Saying words is not the same thing as understanding what they mean, let alone living by them.

Patience With God, p. 221
