Today I heard Tim Keller preached on different conversions (a dramatic one and the one that seems to flow naturally in a Christian home like that of Ruth Bell's.)
I have heard Samuel Ling taught on the same issue, even using the same example of Ruth Graham.
I understand there is no need for drama in a person's conversion, like the Charismatics or many evangelicals would have us believe, however, the language used on Ruth Bell's redemption raises suspicion on my part.
For it raises questions by me. How did Ruth see herself as a sinner or as enemy of God, as scripture ascribed?
Or perhaps, this is only to silence the drama queens of personal conversions.
