It seems like a pretty good article, better than I would expect, but something to keep in mind I think is that she admittedly hasn’t believed in Christ for very long, and so not surprisingly she does hold many antichristian beliefs otherwise.

At this point, then, there is really no saying yet whether she will turn from those beliefs to Christ, as He will ask her to, or else decide to hold onto those beliefs and either proclaim that Christianity wasn’t true after all, or embrace a self-proclaimed Christian church that fits her views. In the latter case, that might mean that at some point she testifies in public that she tried Christianity and was a “true believer” but eventually saw the fundamental errors in it. Left-wing sites frequently publish similar apostate pieces, and the ex-Christian site, if you’ve seen it, is all about that. Those people actually testify against Christ, usually going into great detail about how supposedly devoted they were to Christ, only to honestly discover how the Christian faith is false (never realizing how hollow their accounts sound to those who do believe in Christ), and no doubt they influence some people as witnesses against Him. Or she will simply take what she wants to believe from Christianity, whatever conforms to what she thinks is true, and proclaim that Christianity is about a few main points Jesus made in the Sermon on the Mount, and that there is no point in taking the Bible as God’s Word because it was actually written by man, like every other religion.

So while it’s a pretty good article, I have to hope it’s sincere, and not to build up some credibility with evangelical Christians in order to try to influence some, particularly younger ones, away from Christ.

You are right. Baby Christians are still weak in their faith.

Until she is solidly grounded...be careful.

As a Methodist, I have known many people through the years that have gone to church every Sunday and still remained unfilled by the Holy Spirit.

As Saint Paul says, we must work out our Salvation.

It is a free gift, but we must reconcile our lives to it over time...some people fail.
