As has been mentioned... it is how one sees the whole picture in this mans testimony. He came to Christ thru Gods word and for that I can and will rejoice for him.

I do not expect perfection from any individual...some details are or may get lost, or not, along the way...the heart of the matter is the heart of the matter..the man is saved and has peace with God after many years of searching. There is a reason why “narrow is the gate that leads to eternal life..and few that find it”.

I heard the heart of this mans testimony, “Christ in Him the hope of Glory”.. and not caught up in the diversions of the catholic trend to knit pick the insignificance of that causing divisions being raised here. It is enough He carefully sought the truth, and shared the inner struggle between the stronghold within himself... of that which God desired to be removed... so that the truth was indeed revealed once that stronghold was penetrated. It is a process and not uncommon a struggle to occur. God won! Just as He did with Jacob.

No one should expect perfection- but one should expect a man, at minimum, not to lie about his religious experiences when he is trying to convince others of his convictions. If his beliefs are sincere, then there is no need to fabricate a context for them.
