Crossing the Divide from Baptist to Latter-day Saint By Bryan Ready
Crossing the Divide from Baptist to Latter-day Saint By Bryan Ready
Details
Thousands of people are baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints every week. In many ways, Bryan Ready's story is no different than any other convert's story—except that Bryan was an ordained Southern Baptist Pastor with a formal theological education. He firmly believed that Joseph Smith was a false prophet.
In 1979, Bryan and his mother were driving home from a fireside featuring members of the Osmond Family. He had listened to their testimonies of the gospel of Jesus Christ and was impressed. He turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I want to be a Mormon." Her answer was a firm and adamant "No!"
Over the next thirty-five years, Bryan became a committed follower of Jesus Christ—and a staunch anti-Mormon. But then things changed. His heart began to soften as he opened his mind to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. His faith would face the ultimate test of conviction—to quit his ministry and seek baptism.
This is Bryan's story.
