Conversion Stories

[Soldier of Christ1516]

In all your years of spreading the message, how many people have you converted?

I believe conversion is exceedingly rare in both religion and politics. Even on this site, someone (@grace2) I agree with one thing (trinity), I disagree with on another thing (military/use of violence). So, one thing is to fight the good fight. This thread is to step outside the ring and share success stories.

I have precious few stories in politics and only one possible one in religion. You?

I know most of us are imperfect.

But what is the most important thing we witness to the world that we ought to focus on, meaning how we glorify God and Jesus.

His followers are His ambassadors and messengers to the world.

It is an undeniable fact that Christianity is chaotic.

that's what happens when we disregard or disrespect His word.

Jesus says to "follow Me" over and over, meaning copy Him.

I have converted no one. All I do is share the gospel and God does the saving according to His will,

Thankfully it’s not up to me.

Most of us?

Really? Curious, are you one of the few perfect ones?

Us includes me.

do I have to spell it out?

Conversion is not His follower's duty, spreading the Gospel and the whole truth about god's kingdom is.

I’m glad you got that correct.

 

[grace2]

I’m glad you got that correct.

Then why don't you put into practice what you preach instead of resisting them?

I am elderly and have seen and heard a lot in my life, and have seen many change their minds.
What I have witnessed is there are few, if any, that haven't changed their viewpoint on at least one subject or another.

Fads seem to come in cycles.
At this time I am seeing a lot of Democrats switch to Republican in politics, and I'm seeing a lot of theology proponents switch their stance.

For instance:
Dr. James White has been a popular theology debater for many years but has recently switched from pre-mil to post-mil.
I've seen many believers in Islam switch to Christianity.
Many Dispensationalist switch.
Many Calvinist switch.
Many non-trins switch.
Many atheist switch.
etc.

Many switch because they have heard arguments made that cause them to question what they previously believed.
That's why it's good for theology sites to not be biased and allow all perspectives be presented.
Or, as scripture says in Proverbs 18:17 "The first to state his case seems right, until his opponent begins to cross-examine him".

That is true...all we can do is present the gospel and if the Holy Spirit is working in someone we plant a seed or in some cases God allows us to harvest seeds that have been planted. Sometimes we just water the seeds.

that's strange.

I have been on the forum for over 20 years and have never seen anyone switch.
