Did I read that correctly?
Really??
Every Apostle and disciple in the NT a comes to "know the Lord and accept Him as their Savior" as an adult.
You take the constant experience of the Church from the NT up to the present day, and call it a "statistic impossibility"? Yes, I realize that you conceded that the Holy Spirit could pull it off, but you don't seem to think it happens much, when in fact it happens all the time, praise be to God!
Some wonderful Christians evidently were committed to God from their childhood, but there's a good big bunch that don't really commit until they have an adult conversion experience.
I guess my perception is shaped by my experience on our parish RCIA Teaching Team. We're seeing these adult relaionships with Jesus root, bud and bloom in adults.
We need many more. Many, many more.
I mention the math, because it is a fact: 9/10 of those who have accepted Christ as their Savior did so in their youth.
But God, through the Holy Spirit, can ALWAYS reach those whom He chose at any age.
