How To Give New Believers A Proper Start In Life
This is a handbook on spiritual obstetrics, written out of deep concern that so many Christians have been badly delivered. So often, later spiritual disease can be traced back to an inadequate initiation into the Kingdom. A better birth means greater growth in a healthy Christian life.
Basing his study on the New Testament, David Pawson advocates a synthesis of the liberal emphasis on repentance, the evangelical on faith, the sacramental on baptism and the pentecostal on the Spirit. He then relates these spiritual doors to the concepts of conversion and regeneration.
This book looks at crucial and controversial texts, challenging traditional interpretations. The final section on evangelistic counselling questions the adequacy of the typical sinner's prayer approach. Drawing from scripture and experience, Pawson gives many practical tips on helping potential disciples to repent, believe, be baptised and receive the Spirit.
