"How many have you converted?"

It's not a matter of being "converted" per se, more like being educated and shown the dichotomies present within mormonism that illustrate the falseness of the doctrine.

If one is seeking the truth, then one doesn't run from debate or confrontation. One embraces it and then works to prove it incorrect. Since I couldn't prove it incorrect, what I had believed previously was therefore incorrect.

Was I converted? I guess you could say I was de-converted from mormonism. An apostate of the highest order now. Looked upon and treated with the disdain deserving of one who persists in engaging in the mormonISM discussions/debates.

Do I go with my heart or my head? We've been warned about that, the heart will lead man to destruction.

As to the missionaries, I don't know of any Christian missionaries who go out into the world telling all the other Christians that their religion is apostate, and that only they have the "restored gospel©" as the mormons do.

Christian missionaries typically focus on spreading the gospel among folks who have never heard it before, not, as a systemic effort to convert others into another belief system like the mormons do.

Christians are usually just plain happy to get someone to walk in the Lord, not join a religion or church.

“As to the missionaries, I don’t know of any Christian missionaries who go out into the world telling all the other Christians that their religion is apostate, and that only they have the “restored gospel©” as the mormons do.”

They all do, perhaps they use better language but the message is there. There is but one narrow path to salvation.
