True & False Conversion - Part Two

All to often we hear people, who claim to be Christian, when asked how they became a Christian say, "I was just born one."  You also hear people say they had an "experience" at a camp or meeting or some event (even in their own room), but cannot tell you what it was about or what transpired or even the result.  Others, such as myself, made an emotional decision but had no true understanding of the gospel.

Today, we are on Part II of true and false conversion, with the focus on false conversion.  This episode we look at God's Word to see if their are characteristics/fruit of an individual who professes to be a believer but may not be in all actuality.

We know this program is sure to cause some to get upset or outright reject what is shown.  However, what I/we ask is for you to open your bible, pray to the Lord to give you discernment and evaluate what is taught.  We are asking, if you fit into some of these characteristics/fruit, to examine yourself and see if you are in the faith.  It is more important for you to have assurance than to stumble in darkness with an illusion you are a believer.

   10 Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choice of you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; 11 for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you. (1 Peter 1:10-11)

If you are a believer and have not thought through this.  May this be a means the Lord uses you to grow in discernment, wisdom and understanding.

Above all we pray the Father has been glorified through the Lord Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Grace and peace to all who are in Christ Jesus the Lord.
