They live in a culture where professing Christ is not just saying some prayer and going on about your life as usual. They are in danger for their very lives. Who sir do you believe drew them into that church to hear the Word of God in the first place?
The article states that they received the Word and prayed for salvation. After hearing the Word they believed it and acted on it. They then displayed the fruit of repentance in their act of returning to church to worship God instead of kneeling to say their Islamic prayers.
The article doesn’t give us great detail about all that was said and done. That doesn’t meant that their conversion was not genuine.
Your first post to this thread was not kind. It assumed that these people did not have a true conversion to Christ because of the way the headline was worded. You can not judge their hearts. No one said they were doing Christ a favor. Instead of accepting this news with thanksgiving, you mocked it.
3rd John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
as i do any claim of conversion that neither includes repentance or acknowledgment that the action of salvation is an act of Holy Grace. This article was unclear in both regards, yet served up the typical dish of feel goodism so prevalent in our society
