In the gospel of Jesus, sincere and costly discipleship always accompanies genuine conversion. The gospel of Jesus teaches men that a mere profession of faith alone is no sound evidence of salvation.

Paul Washer

...genuine trust implies the opportunity, of checking wherever it may be wanted... That is why it is the evidence, the experience itself and the argument that gives it Order, that we need to share with one another, and not just the unsupported final Claim.

Philip Morrison

No democratic delusion is more fatuous than that which holds that all men are capable of reason, and hence susceptible to conversion by evidence. If religions depended upon evidence for their prolongation, then all of them would collapse.

H. L. Mencken

When you go after someone who has a deep ideological belief set that is contradictory with your own, it's conversion. Conversion is hard. Conversion is miraculous. We have entire religions built around the idea of conversion. Politics is not a religion. Politics is about persuasion.

Stacey Abrams

The evidence for man-made global warming is as final as the evidence of Auschwitz.

Nick Cohen

I do make conversion, if conversion means really turning people to God - to have a clean heart and to love God. That's the real conversion.

Mother Teresa

Fairy tale does not deny the existence of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance. It denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat...giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy; Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Again, the moment a person calls on the Lord he is saved. But the evidence is not that one time in their life they were sincere when they prayed a prayer. The evidence of their salvation is ... is there genuine repentance? Is there faith? And do both those evangelical graces continue on in their life and grow?

Paul Washer

Final perseverance is the doctrine that wins the eternal victory in small things as in great

Muriel Spark

There are three conversions necessary (for the Christian life): the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the purse.

Martin Luther

For those with faith, no evidence is necessary; for those without it, no evidence will suffice.

Thomas Aquinas

You cannot fake effort; talent is great, but perseverance is necessary.

Amy Bloom

Patience and perseverance are necessary in autosuggestion, as well as in everything else.

Emile Coue

The day that witnesses the conversion of our ministers into political and philosophical speculators or scientific lecturers, will witness the final decay of clerical weight and influence.

Peter Bayne

The evidence of conversion is not a decision card filled out, it's a life being lived out.

Paul Washer

To be a skilled politician, you have to be genuine. To really make it work, you have to love people. You have to love the contact, you have to love the energy, you've gotta love inspiring people and getting their adulation in return. You can't separate what's genuine from what is necessary.
