Conversations like this prove that there is no such thing as easy-believism. The measurables (repentance, baptism, tongues) are easy. Faith in Christ is the most difficult response to the Gospel.

Exactly. I've also always said that it is EASY to get rid of a TV and stop wearing shorts. What is HARD is trying to keep a good attitude when dealing with a jerk and truly feeling "love" for him or her. There is nothing easy about it, which is probably why it doesn't get a whole lot of "amens!!" when preached or taught.
