Default Re: Do any other countries send missionarys to America?

I am with Ken on this one, Alpo.
I have had many great times discussing the various facets of my belief or their belief with JW's, LDS, SDA, and a couple more.
It is EXTREMELY rare for those conversations to become heated.

Did any of them "comvert" me?
Nope.
Did I "convert" any of them?
Nope.
But at the end of the visit, we BOTH knew more about the other's beliefs, and often more about our own as well.

When I FINALLY got saved, I had investigated several different denominations, and had many hours of delightful conversations with many people.

After I got saved, I had some LDS Missionaries that had visited many times before stop by for a visit. When I told them I had received Christ, they REJOICED with me, even though I had NOT joined myself to their church. They said they had been praying for me, and their prayers were answered!

Not EVERYONE that knocks on your door with a Bible in their hand is trying to convert you to their denomination. SOME of them only desire to bring you to a relationship with God - no matter what brand you may end up choosing.
