Post Script to True Belief versus False Belief of Convenience SakeReader comment on item: The Perilous Path from Muslim to Christian Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Nov 24, 2021 at 17:58 Returning here after the other post about religious conversion for asylum credentials, it is likely harder for someone who is hard core Islamic in tradition for family or other sake to 'suddenly' 'come to Christ', though not impossible. An actual rebirth is, in fact, an instantaneously instigated act of the Holy Spirit as prescribed by the precepts found in both the Old Testament (Tanakh) and the New Testament (Brit Chadashah) of Judeo-Messianic/Christian communities of the Savior. For non-Jewish disciples (such as those from Islam), it is the same for all who come to Christ, whichever belief system one was born to. If it is true in its confession of faith, there is no reversion since the Holy Spirit never makes a mistake; ever.
