Hi oWf, I don’t know if anyone has answered you, but this morning I was listening to the Mike Gallager show, and he had on a pastor who had spoken to Newt Gingrich. He said that Newt admitted his sin—and he called it sin. He said he watched for signs of real repentence—taking full responsibility, not blaming anyone else, recognizing he sinned against God, and that Newt did all that. He believes that he truly is a repentent sinner. He was also very remorseful for everyone he has hurt in his life. Then I heard a clip of Newt saying that he was like an alocoholic—not a drinker, but the behavior. I don’t remember his exact wording, but he needed God, and so he surrendered his will to the Lord’s.
I felt better after hearing that on my way to work this morning. I just thought I would share it with you.
I've gotten a number of answers to my question, but yours was the most convincing.
Many politicians feign conversions of sorts to get votes, so it's good to have multiple sources of people who have actually spoken with Newt and believe he is sincere.
As I said upthread, I have limited time to spend on politics, so I rely on good info here.
Thanks for providing it. :)
I have a lot of conservative Christian friends and family and this info will be valuable to have at the ready.
