Evangelism

The “saintly history” of the past few posts will resume shortly.

I have been debating with a former evangelical, now an atheist, on the web, and he can’t get it out of his head that I am trying to convert him. It seems to me that evangelicals far too easily forget that conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit. The most that they can do is bear witness to what they believe. And that doesn’t mean knocking on people’s doors so that you can deliver a theological lecture whilst they are busy doing something else; it means living as though you believed what you profess. It was that which finally got Christianity accepted in the Roman Empire.
