Rethinking Scripture

41. The Rethinking Conversion Project

Episode Summary

In today’s church culture, someone’s conversion is surrounded by certain expectations. Conversion is often understood as a “personal decision for Christ” that happens at a church alter, or maybe an outreach event. And when that decision is memorialized by some rendition of the “sinner’s prayer”, only then is it considered official. But what if our modern understanding of conversion isn’t at all like what the biblical text shows. Then we may need to “rethink conversion”.
