He is a soldier
the very minute he takes the shilling. He has not got to wait to put on
the uniform. And when you ask me how a man may be converted at once, I
answer, just the same as that man became a soldier. The citizen becomes
a soldier in a minute, and from being a free man becomes subject to the
command of others. The moment you take Christ into your heart, that
moment your name is written in the roll of Heaven.
Moody a Young Convert.
I remember soon after I got converted a pantheist got hold of me, and
just tried to draw me back to the world. Those men who try to get hold
of a young convert are the worst set of men. I don't know a worse man
than he who tries to pull young Christians down. He is nearer the
borders of hell than any man I know. When this man knew I had found
Jesus he just tried to pull me down. He tried to argue with me, and I
did not know the Bible very well then, and he got the best of me. The
only way to get the best of those atheists, pantheists, or infidels, is
to have a good knowledge of the Bible. Well, this pantheist told me God
was everywhere--in the air, in the sun, in the moon, in the earth, in
the stars, but really he meant nowhere. And the next time I went to
pray, it seemed as if I was not praying anywhere or to anyone.
