Indeed, this is maybe the most encouraging part about all this, the mass conversions and resurgence of the churches are happening not only in Europe, but most impressively within the Middle East and North Africa itself where Christianity once reigned in the Roman and Byzantine regions. CBN has been putting out a number of reports from the field, taking note of how now only are churches springing up throughout the region, even in conflict zones, but they’re doing so openly, no longer having to hide. This suggests that more and more, there’s a critical amount of community support forming around the churches to protect them from persecution. Which probably has a lot to do with distaste at the atrocities committed by ISIS and the other jihadists in the regions.

Oddly enough, this dreaming is the way that I understand a lot of muslims receive revelation. Which Jesus is she following, Jesus crucified and raised from the dead or Mohamed’s Jesus?

She said she sensed my presence in her dream, so it was the Christian Jesus :^)

....Or could it be that these folks are coming to faith in Christ?

Still, I would rather they convert in their own countries, and convert more of their brethren there.

Here's a story from The Daily Mail

Of course they take the stand that the muslims are being 'pressured' to convert so they'll fit in. They completely overlook the penalty for muslims committing the apostasy of converting to Christianity...but they DO report on mass baptisms.

But, we're repeatedly told that Christianity is a reason for left-wing governments to deny immigration. How can they say they're Christian in hopes of immigration approval? It would seem that they have a better chance if they say they're raghead.

“....Or could it be that these folks are coming to faith in Christ?”

As said, pray it is true, but know that islam does have specific concepts of hijra, taqiyya, and idtira.

Trust in the Lord, but know that people have volition and the free exercise therof.

YMMV

The book Firefall describes some of these events in both the 10/40 window and China.

I assume God will reach who He wants when He wants.

Could be, and probably is true for some, but those kind of numbers are really difficult to square with taqqiya.

Not everyone would be on the same page like that.

So, in the PC grievance hierarchy, who would be ranked higher, a North European convert to Islam, or a North African convert to Christianity? Since destruction of Western values is clearly the goal here, I would think the former.

Conversion or infiltration?

I’m sure that in many cases it’s genuine.

That being said, it still doesn’t justify allowing millions to invade Europe.

At some point you have to start looking at solving the problem at the source.

I totally agree, and the solution, as it has been in Christian circles for many years, is to send missionaries back to those countries from the converts.

That is happening in this case.

Jesus Christ converted people through the heart verses thru the sword like the Mooselimbs did in the Middle Ages.

Mohammad liked 99% of the customs used in the Jewish faith and this is why he incorporated most of the Jewish customs into the Mooselimb religion except since Mohammad was literally a pervert that he used a lot of pervasions in this religion.

The Mooselimb religion is growing in population only because it uses Polygamy today all over the world.

I’ve known several Muslims who converted. They just have to keep it secret from their families. They are drawn to the Grace Alone concept. Most Muslims are MINO’s anyway. They are only Muslim around other Muslims. Kinda like Baptists :)
