Millions of professing Christians are lulled to slumber in their unconverted state indefinitely, all the while comfortable with the false assurance of salvation, misplaced confidence, misconception, their good deeds and religious activities. They have been misled and are unknowingly living under the deception of false conversion. <br><br>Therefore it is important for professing believers to understand among other things: God's grace and God's sovereignty in salvation; true conversion versus false conversion; the importance of preaching and hearing of the Gospel; the false doctrines; the danger of the false gospels and the altar call evangelism; the great evil scheme; the warnings from Jesus; and the urgent need for personal awakening. How can one know if one has been converted? What are God's ways of dealing with mankind in regard to salvation? What to do if you have not been converted? In short, professing Christians ought to know all the relevant and significant matters pertaining to true and false conversions. <br><br>If nobody raises the alarm over false conversions and the great evil scheme is not exposed, countless professing Christians around the world would continue to live in false hope. By raising the issue and sharing the knowledge concerning true and false conversions, and by the grace and mercy of God, the author may help to set many false converts free from the devil's deception so that they are able to seek God's mercy and the true salvation.

Отрывок из книги
This is a very important exhortation for the global Christian community. Millions of professing Christians have been misled and are unknowingly living under the delusion of false conversion. For the sake of the Church and the glory of God, the false converts must be awakened to the deception.
The problems which plague the Church today are the lack of spiritual leadership, organizational struggles, false teachings, biblical illiteracy, materialism, worldliness, pragmatism, disobedience, immorality, generational segregation, the lack of spiritual growth and discipline. However, these are symptoms of the more complicated and critical issue of false conversion. Multitudes of professing Christians think that things are going well with their souls but are unaware that they are living a lie. Though they are assured of their salvation repeatedly, they are actually clinging to false hope. False conversion is an all-important matter that must be tackled with urgency as inaction or procrastination would result in the most devastating and heartbreaking consequence.

Faith in Christ is the result of God’s work (1 John 5:1; John 6:44, 65; Acts 16:14; Eze. 36:26-27). Believers cannot boast about their faith because it is the gift from the Lord (Eph. 2:8-9; Rom. 5:15-17; 12:3). It is by grace they are enabled to believe (Acts 18:27; John 6:65).
From beginning to end, every act of the salvation process is the work of God’s grace. Sinners must have faith in order to be saved, but even their faith is the gift of God. Therefore salvation is all of grace and accomplished solely through the power of God. Salvation is of the Lord (Psa. 3:8; Jon. 2:9; John 6:44; Rev. 19:1). The purpose of salvation of God’s people is for His glory (Rom. 9:23; Isa. 43:7). Salvation of lost souls is to the praise of God’s glory alone (Eph. 1:13-14). It is all of grace through Christ for all His glory.
