Powerful Conversation w/ a Mormon Missionary

Jeff Durbin engaged in a loving and graceful conversation with two Mormon gentleman outside of the Mormon temple in Mesa, Arizona, during the most recent Christmas Lights event. One of the men was a returned missionary from a mission in Singapore.

In this conversation, Jeff challenges the Latter-day Saints on several issues: the test for truth, the Person of Christ, becoming gods, and the Gospel. We hope this blesses you and you consider sharing it with Christians and Mormons alike.

I met a man much like Jeff during my Mormon mission. He planted Gospel seeds in me. I was born again in 2007. I am thankful for ministers like him.

[HRTSLOVE]

I've never seen Mormons be that quiet when being confronted with contradictions like that. I hope they truly were listening and have found their way to the real Jesus.

[BumpsINFofficial]

This guy is a champion. Can't imagine the guts it takes to do this all the time.

[charliehumble]

the kid to the right had his mind blown. he is hanging onto every word. Lol awesome

[Broughtolife]

I'm so grateful to God for Apologia. What a beautiful representation of what loving the lost should look like.

[raulnavarrete]

Jeff Durbin never gives interpretation, in do not hear him say "I think...." he simply quotes the Bible. It's clear and concise, whether or not you believe it is up to you. You choose.

[brandonyost]

The kid on the right was literally hungry for more of the true gospel

[ChristSaves]

I love how he eloquently and respectfully refutes Mormonism. He wasn't disrespectful or deeming to these young Men. He didn't come off as egotistic and Prideful. He spoke in Love and that is how we should approach people because they will be more receptive to the WORD. Love this dialogue! Praying for these young Men! God Bless..

[jaredngawaka]

Respect to those boys, being told their beliefs were wrong and that they worshiped a false Christ. Not one word of disagreement or contention came from their mouth. Great examples.

[pictureperfectplaces]

Im not reformed at all but oh my how thankful I am for the ministry of brother Durbin.. I started weeping as I watched that young man in the hat. praying for his soul brothers. KEEP IT UP

[TheBmarshall]

I was addicted to pornography for 26 years. I am now one year sober from pornography for the first time in my 38 years of life. The ONLY difference between then and now is me giving Jesus Christ 100% of my heart. I’m so grateful to him for doing this miracle in my life. I want everyone else to know the Jesus know. God bless you!

[unionjackjohn]

You can hear the Holy Spirit speaking through Brother Jeff. So wonderful!
May Jesus bless whoever maybe reading this.

[thirdscroll]

A great display of passion. I agree, the guy in the hat was completely into to it. Praise God.

[theodorekim]

I think of J.C. Ryle when he said “humility and silence are beautiful graces in young people.” These two have shown that here. It truly is beautiful to see.

[kateo]

Wow, you can tell the quiet guy was really listening! Praise God! I'm 4 years late seeing this, but praying he has or will come to know the true God! Praying both of them will!

[BigAustFTW]

i cant imagine being the amount of confusion these kids must be feeling. The kid on the right looks so shook. Jeff is doing gods work planting these seeds and opening these kids up to the true gospel.

[daniiobregon]

How crushed must someone be to learn something since a child and now know that it is false. Please pray for them

[Andrew-umxj]

To have someone approach you and with the use of scripture disprove the false church and belief system you grew up in and instead of arguing you have a discussion and show nothing but respect well done to all involved. I pray since this conversation these guys have found truth and are saved with Christ. God bless them

I’m a born again Christian that has loved the LDS people since 2010. I’m like Jeff that way. God has put it in my heart to love the LDS people and share the gospel with them as well. Unfortunately sometimes they don’t understand my purpose for discussing the matter with them. I’m not interested in debating. I’m interested in sharing the Gospel with them. And I know that it’s not just me and Jeff Durbin that love the LDS. There are many born again Christians that do. Sometimes we don’t always no the best way to share the Gospel. And listening to Jeff helps me to understand better how to do it.
