This scenario happens more than we think of some Christians turning from Christ to a cult or some other form of demonic belief system. It honestly reminds me of the prodigal son from Luke 15:11-32. Although one son went astray, he realized his error, repent and returned to his home where he was welcomed with open arms by his father. With this scenario the first of three scriptures I would use to convince him to come back to Christ is Ephesians 4:14-15 that we should no longer be children, toss...

2 commentsThis is an interesting scenario. We must first recognize that Ephesians 6:12 says, For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. The goal is not to win the argument, but to demonstrate the love of Christ and point him back to Christ. I Corinthians 3:6-9, references that some plant, some water, but ultimately God grows. We cannot save anyone, w...

1 commentsI would first be lead by the Holy Spirit. As I always state to people I am not here to convert you, I am only here to tell you the goodness of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My first scripture would be.
Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with...

2 commentsPrior to any conversation or sharing the Word of God, I would have to ask the Holy Spirit for guidance on what to say and how to say it to this person. Then I would focus on the scripture that I needed to share. I would share John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me, then Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed, and t...

3 commentsI would first ask the Holy Spirit how to address this within myself. I would speak only what the Holy Spirit gives me. I would stay respectful and calm towards the person because what you sow you will reap. Gal. 6:7 Don’t be misledâ€you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. I would use wisdom because a wise man wins souls. Proverbs 11:30 Matthew 10:16 Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves. I would sta...

3 commentsThe three scriptures I would use to convince a former Christian to come back to Christ is: First, Matthew 18: 19-20, If anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins. I would let my brother or sister know that my trying to convince him to return to Christ is simply an attempt to bring him back to the truth and save his soul from hell. The second scr...

2 commentsI would use these three scriptures to compel him to come back to Christ. First, I would use Romans 10:2 and also verse 9 and 10. I would explain that salvation can only come by Christ Jesus, God's beloved son. Letting them know that most people that are of another religion may have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge. Some people being ignorant of God's righteousness and have gone on and established their own righteousness and have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God....
