Misconceptions About Salvation
#17 "I was converted and became a Christian when I experienced extraordinary things."
Having dreams that an angel visited you or having weird and strange sensations in your body or having the hairs on your nape bristling or seeing visions of a white light or hearing celestial voices and all the other hoogie-boogie out there do not mean conversion at all.
You can have all the out-of-this-world experiences that people talk about, even if they are all genuine and true, if you have not trusted in the Savior for your salvation in all of this, you are not converted, you are not a Christian.
Wrong---For God so loved the world that whoever experiences extraordinary things shall not perish but have eternal life.
Right---For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever trust in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Yes, even without those mystical and unearthly experiences.
