You don't need to be a Christian to do good things or to love your neighbor. However, your salvation is predicated on your faith in Christ, believing that Jesus came in the flesh, died on the Cross for our sins and resurrected for our glory.

Mensa Otabil
Mensa Otabil (* 1959) ist ein ghanaischer Theologe, Pastor und Universitätskanzler, der 1984 die pfingstlich-charismatische International Central Gospel Church in Accra gründete. Seine Predigten und Vorträge verknüpfen biblische Themen mit Fragen von Führungsverantwortung, Bildung, wirtschaftlicher Eigeninitiative und persönlicher Entwicklung. Bibellesern begegnet er als pointierter Impulsgeber zu praktischer Glaubensgestaltung, dessen öffentliches Profil jedoch durch zivilrechtliche Klagen nach dem Zusammenbruch der ghanaischen Capital Bank und Kontroversen um Spendensammlungen belastet ist.
