Young Convert to....What?

The Problem of False Conversions and Religious Pressure

It's just a real quick video. Turrets and fan in my chat channel linked me to a video online of a conversion to Islam. YouTube is filled with these. This one might even be on YouTube someplace. I don't have time to go looking for it, and it wasn't in a form that would allow me to link to it.

So I'm putting it here on my youtube page so I can throw it up on the blog, but it is Interesting to it's always interesting for me to watch these. I've watched many of them partly to try to understand gain information about the motivations and reasons that the converts have and telltale things that they say.

I Post these things, and I I realize that they bother Christians, and I do so purposefully. We live in such an insulated environment That it is my purpose to disturb your comfort. It should be disturbing for you to watch someone embracing a religion that specifically in its very definition denies the fundamental truth claims of the Christian faith but beyond that and beyond the example of seeing how a person The mechanical means by which a person becomes a Muslim.

Over against the biblical understanding of the God centeredness of Christian conversion. There should be something else. That's hauntingly familiar to many in watching this because the sad fact the matter is you have here a young man and you can tell in light of the environment that there's there's peer pressure being put upon him and.

How many Christian evangelists use the exact same methodology to create. Well what I would call false conversions. How many Christian evangelists do the exact same thing you will see here in fact honestly if it wasn't somewhat of a Arabic looking individual standing with him and If the sound wasn't turned all the way up if you just happened if you were in an airport or someplace.

And you just looked up, and you saw this. What would you assume was actually going on? That's how similar these types of conversions are and so I just present this to you very quickly as a Thought-provoking thing to see once again that it's so important to contrast the Biblical understanding of what conversion is.

Regeneration, Saving Faith, and What Makes Conversion Last

Regeneration what saving faith is. Why does it last. Why why do I have saving faith? Forty some odd years after my conversion is because I'm better. Is it because I'm stronger. Or is it something about the nature of what saving faith is it's the work of God to in which I can have absolutely no boasting or is.

Are the methodologies of many evangelicals that create all these conversions through the use of 32 stanzas of just as I am or the peer pressure or all the rest of the things especially happen in youth context.

Is that really biblical. Is that really godly and how does it differ from what we're going to see right here? Converting someone to a different religion. How can we say it's a supernatural thing when it's being being used to convert people to religions and say that Jesus Christ?

Did not die upon the cross. He did not rise from the dead. He's not the Son of God. Some things to think about. Take a look 13.
