I happen to believe that we should not Judge Christian ministries that work in different domains. Couple of weeks ago I read a post that rejects apologetic ministries; I would like to read your opinions if it is right to judge!!!
I believe the truth of Gospel is accepted by different people in different ways.

1. Acceptance because of revelation (Spirit, soul)
2. Acceptance because of Reasoning (Mind, cognitive)
3. Acceptance because of experience (Existential)
4. Acceptance because of conviction (heart)

In my case, it was by conviction I accepted Gospel in the first place, then this truth was confirmed by experience and then comes revelation and now am reasoning it…

I believe Apostle Paul accepted the Truth in this order:
1. Acceptance because of revelation (Spirit, soul)
2. Acceptance because of conviction (heart)
3. Acceptance because of experience (Existential)
4. Acceptance because of Reasoning (Mind, cognitive)


Let us not judge nor be confine only in one approach…

I think God can begin the process with any of those. however, people can not stop at just one but have all four to be mature in their faith in Christ and be fruitful. The order is not as important as the Holy Spirit who does all four in the life of a believer.
