What Did Conversion Look Like in the Early Church?

Description

Most of us grew up with “getting saved” in one night: gospel presentation → raise your hand → pray the sinner’s prayer → maybe get baptized later.

But when you actually read Acts conversion looked very different. In this teaching we’ll walk through the major conversion accounts in the book of Acts and then trace how the process evolved into the 1–3 year discipleship process practiced by the ancient church.

If you’ve ever wondered:

✅ Should churches do same-day baptisms?
✅ Is the modern sinner’s prayer biblical?
✅ What process could churches put in place to provide a wise on-ramp for new believers?

…this teaching is for you.
