When will Les say that someone has been led to Christ?
A person is not said to have been led to Christ until a genuine change in lifestyle is seen. The first thing looked for is that change; only when it is evident and genuine can one declare that the person has come to know the Lord and been born again.
Les teaches that the first thing he looks for is a change in lifestyle. He never says anything about having led someone to Christ, or brought someone to a knowledge of salvation, until he sees that change in lifestyle. Once he sees a genuine change, then he can shout to the heights of heaven that this person has come to know the Lord and has experienced what it is to be born again. This change is expected because every believer is a new person, the result of a creative work of God, with new appetites, behavior, and attitude.
What is the first thing Les looks for before saying he led someone to Christ?
The first thing looked for is a genuine change in lifestyle, attitude, and behavior. Until that transformation is evident, no claim is made about leading someone to Christ or bringing them to a knowledge of salvation. A changed life confirms that old appetites have passed away and new things have come.
When can Les say someone has come to know the Lord and been born again?
A person can be acknowledged as having come to know the Lord and been born again only after a genuine change in lifestyle is evident. The change includes new appetites, behavior, and attitude, showing old things have passed away and everything has become new and different.
