Hey Chette
I will agree that Ray Comfort is sound in most scripture, as I'm sure brother Luke was as he was one time involved in Rays teaching, there is something horribly wrong with his route to salvation, in a exert from his website he states the way to salvation is this.
You must turn away from sin and turn to God. Desire to have NOTHING to do with sin, and surrender your life to the One who can save you.

Psalms 116:13
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Romans 10:13

Matthew 26:28

Romans 3:25
