How I Became Christian
Regarding becoming Christian I was: -
1. Led by the Revd Richard Bolt to ask Jesus Christ into my life at a boys’ camp in Croyde North Devon, during August 1968 (and in late August 1969 and 1970 because I lacked assurance)
2. Finally re-born through receiving a direct vision of Christ at a Student Christian Union meeting (held in a student flat in Newcastle upon Tyne) on Saturday, 18th October 1975 (around 8.00p.m)
3. Baptized in the Holy Spirit at a prayer meeting on Thursday, 27th November 1975 (began to pray with tongues the following Monday evening)
4. Given a full immersion (Trinitarian) water baptism on the evening of Sunday, 5th September 1976.
This work attempts to help Christian readers appreciate the importance of spiritual discernment and help them realize that it is not an activity which can be exclusively left to church leaders. An important assumption is that any form of human or spiritual deception can have devastating consequences at the personal, congregational and wider social level.
Also provided are user-friendly objective tests to help readers too assess spiritual phenomena for themselves They are also given the tools to diagnosis any manipulation of scripture. This work can readily be viewed as a guide, enabling believers to apply the instruction of 1 John 4:1. Articles exploring such topics as Christian Fanaticism, the characteristics of false prophets and the anti-Christ are also included.
