Much of what people think is ancient is not, including the idea of a "personal" God

The notion of ascended masters is not as old as some people assume. Its introduction stems from the  writings of the 19th century Theosophical Society in New York.

The same is true of the personal savior concept prevalent in Christian sermons and hymns today. This is the notion that for each Christian Jesus can be his personal savior if he allows him into his life. 

This concept did not exist in ancient Christianity before 1700.

I think knowing this would be upsetting to some evangelical Christians today, as well as to Baba lovers who have also adopted this concept. 

While believing you are communing with an 'ascended master' or a 'personal savior' may at first seem to be a form of closeness to God, it is in fact a form of separation in the imagination. Rather than seeing God as your own true inner Self and the inner Self of your neighbor, you see him as somehow out there watching you.

The following gospel songs that convey this notion are all of modern origin.

"He walks with me and he talks with me" (also known as "In the Garden") was written in 1912. 

"I'll Walk with God" is a song written for the movie "The Student Prince" in 1954. 

"He Walks Beside Me" is the title of a 1978 Elvis Presley album that conveys this idea of a personal savior that walks with you. 

"Footprints in the sand" is a poem written in 1963 or 64. It clearly conveys the notion of God or Jesus as an invisible companion of the individual. 

OK, so if the personal savior concept is not ancient, how did it get started?

WHAT DOES HAVING A “PERSONAL SAVIOR” and THE IDEA “PERSONAL RELATIONHIP” WITH CHRIST MEAN?

Have you ever “accepted Jesus as your personal Savior”? This catch-phrase is as popular as it is unbiblical. Here is its history. Dwight L. Moody (1837–1899) was the first to employ “the sinner’s prayer.” A sinner's prayer is any prayer of repentance, prayed by individuals who feel convinced of the presence of sin in their lives and have the desire to form or renew a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. (NOTE BABA'S REPENTANCE PRAYER IS NOT PERSONAL) Moody developed this model of prayer when training his evangelistic coworkers. It took on popular usage in the 1950s with Billy Graham’s Peace with God tract and later with Campus Crusade for Christ’s Four Spiritual Laws. Certainly God will respond to the heartfelt prayers of any individual who reaches out to Him in faith. However, the sinner’s prayer came to replace water baptism as a response to the gospel call.

The phrase “personal Savior” is an innovation which has permeated western Christian culture. It was used as when one has “finally accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.” It grew out of the ethos of 19th century American revivalism and grew to popular parlance by Charles Fuller (1887-1968). He used this phrase thousands of times in his popular Old Fashioned Revival Hour radio program that aired from 1937 to 1968. By the time of his death it was heard on more than 650 stations around the world.

Of course “accepting Jesus as your personal Savior” is not found in Scripture. “You did not choose Me, but I choose you. . .” (John 15:16). Even at that many hold that as long as the phrase accurately reflects the transaction it purports to describe it is OK. The point may have merit but should we play “fast and loose” with God’s revelation? It is example of what C.S. Lewis called “a great cataract of nonsense.”

The Bible describes Jesus as dying not in hypothetical speculation for a single individual, but on a real cross in a real world for the corporate body of believers. Jesus is our real corporate Savior, not my personal hypothetical one. Christians are called to community, not isolation. John Wesley once wrote that “Scripture knows nothing of solitary religion.” From Genesis to Revelation, we see the story of a God who is creating a people, not just persons. Where we see individuals emphasized they are emphasized for the purpose of the people. Abraham was called individually to carry the covenant for what would become the people of God. Moses was called individually to be the mouthpiece of God to His people. The disciples were called individually only to then be sent forth to gather a global people. The popular notion that Christianity is a personal affair, making the community of faith unnecessary, has no basis in the pages of Scripture. It is only in community that we find accountability, corporate prayer, unified worship, and the edification of the saints. It is only in community that we become the Body of Christ.

If what is meant by “personal” is that I must myself be reconciled to God by Jesus, as opposed to anything my parents or priest or church or ritual might or could do, then this is correct. However, in Jesus Christ, you and I have received something far greater than a personal Savior. We have received Jesus Christ’s very own relationship with the Father. According to the New Testament teaching, what the Father was to Jesus, Christ is to you and me.

Because we are now “in Christ,” the Father loves us and treats us just as He does His own Son. In other words, we share and participate in Christ’s perfect relationship with His Father.

This relationship is corporate just as much as it is individual. All Christians share that relationship together. In this regard, the phrase personal Savior reinforces a highly individualistic Christianity. But the New Testament knows nothing of a “Just-me-and-Jesus” Christian faith. Instead, Christianity is intensely corporate. Christianity is a life lived out among a body of believers who know Christ together as Lord and Savior.

Baba gave a different teaching, more akin to ancient understanding. In the prayer of repentance, we say "We repent for our constant failures. . . " 

And when the master dies he no longer works in the world. He becomes transcendental. But this will upset BLs and Christians. For it is admittedly nice to imagine you have your own private servant.

And what will upset the atheists is there is no matter either. And they will have to admit the presence of God as all in all. 

So this is what I never said. There is no matter, but there is no personal savior either. And so everyone will be upset. Until they see the divine fruit of this marvelous renewed understanding.
