    You also didn't have to endure everything Paul did. Suspicion from the Christians. Hatred from the Jews. Persecution and even death. My goodness, what Britney faces just doesn't seem that bad anymore. Of course, Paul did endure. But, he did not do it of his own accord. It was the power of God working through his life. </font>[/QUOTE]And as I pointed out, Paul apparently took a few years to grow in his faith before he began his major missionary journeys. In this age of live mass communication, I certainly hope that new believers take a little time to become grounded in their faith before becoming a public spokesperson for Christ in the mass media. There is a warning in scripture against making novices leaders in the church. There is wisdom in nuturing new believers in their faith before they go out and face the world (and the self-righteous judgmental church) in the name of Christ.

    Yes. Eventually, there will be ample evidence of the presence of Christ.

    And it has only been one week and I suspect you haven’t chatted with her this week. Furthermore, you seem to have a problem making false judgments about me and you HAVE had some limited communication with me. What makes you think you are an adequate judge of the Holy Spirit’s work in Ms. Spears?

    This is true. This is Biblical. When God comes in, there will be change because God does not fail. Faith without works is dead. If you say some have faith, others have works. James says he will show you his faith by his works. The good works are the evidence of the power of God working in your life. </font>[/QUOTE]I’m glad you affirm this.

    Remember, it has only been a week. Do not do the work of the evil one by making false judgments based on nothing more than you impatient demand for evidence and your skepticism.

    I believe that it is obvious that Joseph, Blackbird, and those like them, would be sorely disappointed if Spears actually started to embrace faith in Christ. This should not be surprising, this has been the stance many fundamentalist have had over the years concerning anyone in the entertainment field who supposedly comes to Christ.

    Let me specify that I have no idea if she actually has become a Christian or not; however, I am willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

    Our news channel had shown film of Brittney and her mother leaving a hospital two days in a row after visits with some specialists. Sometimes the Lord uses illness to bring us back to him. Maybe either she or her mother had a health scare.

    Wouldn't it be wonderful if she were to become an amazing Christian and were to witness openly about the change in her life!

    No, not yet, but I'm hoping.

    I don't want to leave it this way though.
    Personally I have been disappointed with some of the "conversions" that we have heard about.

    After about 2 years, I'm still hoping that Jane Fonda will come around. Has anyone heard how she is doing?
