Robert Wurtz II
(Host of thegirdedmind.org)
Welcome to our website! I’m your host Robert Wurtz II, and I’ve been an author and teacher of advanced biblical studies for over 30 years. My goal is to help sincere students understand their Bible and how it reveals and addresses human behavior.
I’ve written four books dealing with historic evangelism and the Spirit-Filled life that are available from Amazon.com and other book retailers. There are over 700 articles archived here and on other Christian websites such as SermonIndex https://www.sermonindex.net/speakers/robert-wurtz-ii and blogger https://realrevival.blogspot.com.

Current Ministries
I’m currently serving as Senior Pastor of Hillcrest Bible Church in St. Joseph, MO. I host thegirdedmind.com, cohost biblebase.com, and Friends of Biblebase (FOBB) on Facebook. My interests are The New Covenant, the Spirit-Filled life, Apologetics, and Classical Revival. I’m native to the Kansas City, MO, area and live in St. Joseph, Mo, with my lovely wife Anna.
I’m wondering, Shouldn’t we not only rely upon the work of the Holy Spirit in the “ready” person’s mind as well as the Holy Spirit working in our mind to speak to that particular individual about Salvation at that particular time? What ever “method” we use to reach that person to the Lord (lifestyle, Roman’s Road, etc) isn’t it important that a person actually makes the decision to follow the Lord as a “Christian “?
Hi Paul, thanks for reaching out. My concern with the various methods such as the sinner’s prayer and the Roman’s Road is more with the notion that once the person has “done it” they are told they are saved. I have a series you may be interested in watching that will explain this moch better than I could in a reply. Here is a link to the topic I entitled, “Televangelicalism— How We lost the Gospel and How to Gat it Back” (based on my book by the same title). https://youtu.be/XoOaBMugs3Y?si=chxZXwvRwJdNqCkG
In debating that one can not believe in both Christianity and,say, Islam, because they contradict, how is that different than the contradiction between free will and election, that seem to contradict? Just want to be prepared. Thanks, Susan
Hi Susan, debates such as free will and election are “in house” Christian debates, whereas Christianity and Islam are completely different religions. I would recommend Walter Martin’s “Kingdom of the Cults” to get some valuable insight into the differences. You can get the book from Amazon used for about $15.00 and it’s money well spent. I hope that helps. Blessings, Robert
