A 15-Year-Old's Amazing Conversion

- Опубликовано: 14 май 2015
- As a teen, Colt was taught the theory of evolution and began questioning the faith of his parents. He saw faith in Jesus as “just a dry creed” with “no point.”
“We didn’t know he never felt like he was truly saved,” said Colt’s father.
We hope that Colt’s story will encourage and inspire you to continue to pray for, and share the gospel with, your lost friends and family members.

There's nothing more important..your eternal salvation.
It's sad that most liberals would think this kid is weird. But he could possibly be the most sane and mature kid on RUclips.
Liberals are brainwashed by Satan that's why they think this kid would be weird
I think you are misinformed about the liberal agenda...And I think it’s odd that you bring this up after watching this specific video. As Gods children we shouldn’t judge one another. I’m sorry you feel this way. Have a good day!
There is definitely a satanic agenda dominating this world system and it is wrapped up with the liberal agenda. You are spot-on. It has infiltrated the church in a big way. Many will try to keep you from criticizing that agenda under the guise of tolerance. If we do not identify the enemy, how do we resist him?
He is weird. The theory of evolution is a fact.
thats what it was like with me, when i was saved about a year and a half ago i watched like 4 sermons a day, it was awesome, i was starving for the bread of life. I love Jesus
Newy Kidude: - Me too. After I was saved at age 58, I never knew anyone who was saved. I was starved for the Word. I listened to and watched every sermon including Rev. Billy Graham who led me to Christ. Then I decided which preachers to avoid, and who the good preachers were. Then I read all their books.
I always described myself during that time as a SPONGE. I heard Cole say the same thing. It is a true conversion when you become a sponge and absorb all things God that you can in a short time. It was like two years when I finally had read so many books I had to thin out my library.... Also I told everyone about how I was saved. Some the short version, some my long testimony. It felt awesome to share this with unbelievers. Some rejected it and I walked away on to someone who wanted to hear the good news and what Jesus did for me when I was in a pit of my own making. I told them how He changed my life forever...
Today, I still can watch an hour long sermon by some great preachers on You Tube every evening, and listen to Christian radio and watch Living waters. A few years ago I caught all the Way of the Master episodes numerous times until I was saturated. Now I am happy to see them again on RUclips. See you on the other side Colt..... Dawn
Me too. I spent a lot of time listening to sermons on RUclips and looking for answers
It happened that way for me too. A sponge in the middle of the Sahara is more like it. I just couldn’t get enough. I don’t evangelize but maybe some day. It certainly is a gift and I don’t have it…yet.
But you agree there are people who statistically weren't given the same chance as you therefore the outcome was never for them to be saved. I mean it's true beyond a reasonable doubt that you just so happened to be confronted with the perfect combustion of factors to be "saved" if you were examining every aspect of your life from an outside perspective you would see just that. Therefore, we both agree there are billions of people throughout time statistically speaking who had a far less chance or no chance because they simply believed in another religion equally to the level you believe in Christianity. Which again leads to the same conclusion that if you were to observe their life from an outside perspective you would see the exact moments that led to them not being saved and what could have been easily changed with something as simple as a perspective change to them seeing differently. As ray boasts all the time on how he was lucky to evangelize to somebody because without that perspective change they would have kept believing what they believe and been sent to hell where they would endure eternal torture and pain endlessly for eternity with no break and there fully conscious mind to perceive it all. What's a response to that? "God judges us individually therefore they will probably be in heaven because they did not know"? That still doesn't make sense because that then means all the men women and children that died early on or were only presented a different religion or belief based off associating circumstances which also includes dead new born babies who didn't need to see any of this life to get to heaven will still go to heaven anyway because they didn't receive a proper chance. Well that then leads to another direct contradiction because by that exact logic everyone should have an equal chance to heaven because any one of those newborn babies or people could have grown up with the exact circumstances and became a non believer. Hence proving those in hell being tortured for eternity could have just been born into heaven in the first place naturally equipped with the connected perspective they lacked on earth all under equal circumstamces...
Me too lol. I was 13. Amen
This nearly brought me to tears. Just seeing the dramatic change in his life from a doubtful, religious believer to a nonbeliever to a good and faithful servant sharing God's word with his peers is incredibly encouraging and touching. What's even more awesome is the fact that he's a naturally shy person sharing the gospel. Being naturally shy myself, I can definitely identify with him.
***** Same here. He's made me start out the program on the way of the master. I have a long way to go before I fully grasp the word in terms of memorizing key texts, chapters and verses but I will start by sharing the Good News with those who are closest to me before I take that giant leap into the streets. God bless you and I hope you will also start evangelizing and growing in the love of God.
You'd surprise yourselves if you just bring it up in conversations with ANYONE ANYWHERE! I'll warn you it's NOT easy to prosletyze with your families FIRST! You'd think your families would be more accepting of your messages, except they're usually the ones to hurt you the most and refuse to listen. Strangers are easier to start with bcuz you don't have to see them as you would your family. MANY WILL scoff at you and you WILL be made fun of, even assaulted verbally and possibly physically, so chose carefully!
@@jamiejizzle9819 Even Jesus said in Mark 6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
and in Luke 4:24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. Also in Matthew 13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. Please visit jesusamazinggrace.com
We need more young people like him!
15 years ago I heard the gospel from an open air preacher who had learned how to use the law from Ray Comfort. I’m so grateful for Ray and his obedience. I am even more grateful to God who has used Ray and the street preacher to share the truth of the gospel. I now use the same method to share the gospel. To God be the glory! 💗
What a beautiful testimony. I had much the same experience with my son. Now he is 19 and totally sold out to the Lord and loves to read the word. I think that is really key. Reading the Bible just has a transforming effect. The kid in the video-his parents said he reads the Bible all the time. It is almost impossible to stay faithful if you are not grounded in the word. It's hard to be like Jesus if you don't even read His words to know what he's like.
God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called! If he can do it, we have no excuse.
and for a person like me who is really shy doing anything let alone spreading the Good News because I have fear in general of peoples opinions but I see God is working in me and the fear is getting smaller each day as I proceed to seek God. God bless you :)
Amen and amen. Couldn't agree more.
Amen! Well said
Exactly!!!! HalleluYah!!!
@@MrBilioner how ya doing now brother?
What an amazing inspiration to us all . Evangelism is not a joke ,
Dear Father please help us to be the laborers in the field.
Luke 10'2
I'm sorry you feel that way. But it seems you've failed to separate the Old testament and New testament. You're right , God's word forever stands and the old testament is there to show us elements of God's character- one that will be seen again on the day of Judgement.
however you might want to look at HEBREWS 8'13
Enjoy your week ! Layne Staley
***** Both the front of the book and the back is relevant, in order to understand the back of the book you need to understand the foundation, which is the beginning. Don't forget that Yeshua only read the front of the book, taught it and lived by it because it is all he had. If we are to live like him we are to study what he studied as well. We have to look at it all. Galations 3:15-17
Lakechia Jeanne AMEN SIS,
15 years old...Wow...the holy spirit has got an incredible grip on him...praise Jesus!!
The purity of his heart radiates the Love of Christ. Goals. Goals. Goals. That’s all I gotta say.
It almost made my cry. I had a similar experiencia, and now I have a complete commitment to learning the Word and study it through the contemplation of the Cross.
Praise the Lord!! I have a friend who got saved through Living Waters ministry a couple years ago. Praise God for what He is doing through Living Waters! Living Waters ministry has equipped me with basic Bible verses to look up to simply share the Gospel with others. Preaching the Law and the Gospel is such a fundamental principle in Christianity. I praise God that I have discovered it through God's Holy Word and through Living Waters!
How inspiring! Amen, Brother Colt. Thank you, Lord!
This young man is wise beyond his years. It is beautiful to see how his heart is fixed on serving the Lord. His peers may think that he's missing out on the good things in life, but he has found true treasure.
He is also avoiding many consequences that come from indulging a sinful heart.
During my teen years, I thought every single idea was possible except for Christianity. Just like a wise man once stated "Man will believe anything, as long as it's not in the Bible." God bless this ministry and that 15 year old young man, his testimony is powerful enough to use God's word to divide hearts.
Hey, welcome back. I will use four principles to evidently prove the validity and historicity of the Bible: - Prophecy. Archeaology, Scientific Facts and Consistency within the Message (including grammatical analysis.) let's first off start with how prophecy has been fulfilled. There are several prophecies but we will start off with four. Jerusalem would be in non Jewish hands till the time of the end. Israel would become a nation again. There would be massive, various earthquakes as we have recently seen around the world. And the Messiah would be born of a virgin, of the offspring of David. Archaeology has proven that there was a real city called Sodom and Gommorah. The Bible states that the earth is a sphere and bangs upon nothing in empty space. The universe is expanding, the ocean is deep and has layers, while people at that time thought it was magic. And the Bible written by over 40 different authors all have one central message: I will by their God and they will be my people. God bless ~
MolotovBurner100 I saw my need for a saviour after talking to my school chaplain about it. She explained to me why I needed to repent and have faith and trust in Christ and read the Bible daily :). I prayed a prayer with a sincere and open heart and God willing I became Saved. I saw I was a sinner against God in light of the ten commandments. I read about what Christ did for me on Calvary. It humbled my heart and I thought to myself "If all of this is true, if everything I once held on to was a lie, I need and want to know. Amen." Shortly after, here I am, spreading the Gospel of good news to those around me. And that is my rather long story short short testimony
DeFreshS10 1/3: - "Here you go: false prophesies of the bible. So there is one piece of evidence gone.rationalwiki.org/wiki/Biblical_prophecies#Wrong_prophecies." You don't think rationalwikia has a confirmation bias and strawman fallacies? But I'll check it out. But here's one I think you can't refute, Egypt would never again rule over any other nation.
"just because a city existed does not mean it was filled with gay people and god blew it up.
there is two down." Ha! Let's examine the fact that the old city of sodom and gommorah are now at ruins and burnt down, shall we?
"No, it specifically states the earth is ROUND like a disc or plate. they had a word for sphere in hebrew and IT WAS NOT USED. also it says the earth "hangs upon nothing" but it also says the earth sits upon pillars and is covered by a firmament that holds back water.... so no. three down. Job 26:11 says heaven is supported by pillars." Did it had to be spot on specific? The pillars lay out it's foundations. Well stating the fact that the bible says the earth is convered by a firmament that holds back water.... is that not true to some degree? Is the ground of the earth not covered in water? And we could sit here and play symbolic metaphors all day long when it comes to the sky... but that would never convince you or what it meant when it said that.
"Also i saw you noted "Scientific facts" but gave 0 of them... care to share what "facts you do have"? You've already tried to refute some of them -_-
"-That rape, slavery, incest, genocide, infantcide, and murder is all ok? oh are you talking about the new testament where it says "woman shall hold no authority over man" "woman shall not be allowed to speak inside church" -is that what you were referring too?" Strawman alert!! Get a grip of understanding during ancient times. The new testament clamed down quite a bit because that was a new era, a new age of grace with it's blood covenant. Look, nothing I say could possibly convince you otherwise, you are being too stubborn.
"Here is a good responce to your first point: *"There are several mundane ways in which a prediction of the future can be fulfilled:Retrodiction. The "prophecy" can be written or modified after the events fulfilling it have already occurred.Vagueness. The prophecy can be worded in such a way that people can interpret any outcome as a fulfillment. Nostradomus's prophecies are all of this type. Vagueness works particularly well when people are religiously motivated to believe the prophecies.Inevitability. The prophecy can predict something that is almost sure to happen, such as the collapse of a city. Since nothing lasts forever, the city is sure to fall someday. If it has not, it can be said that according to prophecy, it will.Denial. One can claim that the fulfilling events occurred even if they have not. Or, more commonly, one can forget that the prophecy was ever made.Self-fulfillment. A person can act deliberately to satisfy a known prophecy.
There are no prophecies in the Bible that cannot easily fit into one or more of those categories. " Nothing beats truality. I am not denying that it people may of been adding useless Retrodiction to it to happily prove their points, thus making it vague due to their own errorous ways. Except that it wasn't written where anything could fit in there, it specifically stated and implied a designated purpose. To refute all of these man made (yet good) points I use state one prophecy that come true to it's exact and wasn't vague or just fitted into it. Israel becoming a nation near the time of the end. That Jersualem would be in non-Jewish hands till the time of the end.
Part 1, to be continued....
rahowhero I am not too familiar with the tyre's destruction prophecy but I can answer the other 2 questions... Bats used to be classified as Birds, not only that but the term 'bird' can mean something like a bat, therefore the similarity is there. Earth being supported by 4 pillars can mean the directional NESW. (Forgive me if I am wrong, I could have gotten these completely wrong.)
Isaiah Phillip It was a very foolish mindset for me to have. If I could be described as anything back then, it would be the term/label "Confused Agnostic". I am now a Born Again Christian serving God and his Word.
Praise God. This is awesome!
I thank the Lord for you Colt having found real salvation and for what you are doing in your community. Evangelism is a ministry for all believers
He is well spoken and speaks very well! What a great family. So glad he shared with us
Welcome to the family of God! The angels rejoice when a sinner comes home. It is the work of the Holy Spirit that brings conviction of sin, righteousness and judgement to a sinner. We all are sinners and need to be born again to enter and see the kingdom of God. God richly bless you, Colt, my dear brother. Grow in grace and knowledge in the Word of God.The book of Proverbs gives instruction to young men. Remember, to obey and honor your parents for this is right in the sight of God and this commandment has a blessing of long life and blessings.( Ephesians 6:2 ) Maranatha!
Praise God for saving another sinner! God is good and mighty to save!
It is such a wonderful blessing to see young people so strong in The Lord. When I see them worshipping, I get such happy tears in my eyes. ❤️🙌 Praise The Lord ❤️🙌
I so wish I was a strong Christian like this 15 years old child-now 17, I am 24 years old.
Thank you, Ray Comfort and Living Waters. You are changing lives.
I agree 110%, I found Living Waters materials about 8 years ago. It's been so helpful in my spiritual growth.
Wow. To God be the Glory!
Praise God for Ray and his team.
I'm sure that God is VERY pleased with what you're doing, sir!
this kid inspires me
Many of us have the same testimony. Praise God for calling us out of the darkness. Thank you Jesus for giving your life for mine.
Dear Brother Ray you're ministry has been a blessing to me, Thank God for you
It was very much like my story, i m 16 year old, and i also started believing in Christ when i was 15 and i also listen to 3 to 5 hr biblical sermons, and When i first prayer to jesus to came into my heart, that time i feel something came from the top, like from the heaven, to my heart and i was feeling peaceful and relax at that moment, and jesus changed my whole life,.
@@ShayAviv1000 a blessed life, with full of everlasting peace and joy, even in the temptation time✌🏻❤️
@@ShayAviv1000 praise to be God ❤️
What an awesome young man. Thank you. This made my day. God bless you
Great,
God, His saints and His angels rejoice in Heaven when they see such humility and transformation.
.
And we Christians rejoice as well.
This is absolutely wonderful, all glory to God. It is a miracle, a gift and a blessing. Both of my kids 11 and 13 have not been born again, and they said it themselves after reading the whole Bible. This is a very sad thing to go through but i know the grace of God and hope on it for my kids with all the hope of my heart. God is faithful forever. God bless you Mr. Comfort
Praise God... Praise God.
Aw love. I'm fifteen too and I've had these doubts and thoughts too. I'm still having them. I trust god and Christ and I trust they'll heal me in time.
Such an amazing kid. God bless him and his familie. 🥰
Every parents wish for their sons and daughters
Ray is this amazing or what? Wow this nice looking 15 year old young man evangelizing. Jesus let me feel the spirit I cried happily . Thanks for sharing God has blessed us all.
God Bless you young man, keep spreading GOD'S WORD!!
Preach it brother. God is good.
Amazing! Truly a work of God. This is truly inspiring to a young youth like myself, and I praise the Lord for giving the gift of evangelism to this young man. Such an inspiration, thank you for this. God bless!
IN the book of John Jesus says (this isn't word for word, but on the top of my head), That once you become a Christian, Jesus will never let you out of the palm of His hand. He will always hold on to you, and no matter how far away you fall, you will always be in His hand. I think this proves it :)
Amazing I feel like I am in a similar position. I’m 15, grew up in a Christian home. This kid is doing what I want to do.
Wow, praise the Lord!
Praise God!
-Victoria
What an inspirational young man, very admirable
I love this!! Shared this with my husband and ten year old son who are not saved...yet!! God is so good!! Thank you Ray Comfort and Living Waters for your ministry!! It wasn't until I was given one of your gospel tracks(the one with the flip up chart explaining each of the commandments) that I was truly converted!! To God be the Glory!! I only witness now using the law, I have such a boldness to share that only could come from God!! Don't get me wrong I can get the fear of man, but I am so burdened for people to hear the gospel. The Lord always provides when praying for boldness. Wish there were more people here in upstate NY who understood true and false conversion!!! Praying!!
Wow!!!! It’s now 2020. Where is this young EVAngelist today!!!! Keep going, Son!!!
Run🏃 don’t look back, neither to left or right.... you will be persecuted... hated. But there will be people like me cheering you on. Pleading JESUS BLOOD OVER YOU.
YOU ARE A GEM 💎!!!!! IF. GOD BE “FOR” you, who can be against you?!?
God pour His anointing on you. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s priceless 🙏🏽📖👍🏽💦
I still struggle but to this day I still say Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me.
The same thing happened to me! But I started at 14 I promise you guys about the same testimony now I'm 15.
amazing young man, Jesus bless his fire.
Sin is like cancer when you find out that it has grown beyond your control, it might be too late.
Mike Smith As long as there is breat in us, there is hope! Never give up and pray for our lost brothers and sisters!
Meant breath
I really want to listen more like Colt's testimony. God bless Colt!
Very Smart Kid, God Bless him in Jesus Name.
God's continued blessings be upon you Colt. You are an inspiration.
God has truly blessed Ray and many of us with this channel.
great testimony , God Bless you.
Awesome. God bless this young brother.
Wow
Almost brought me to tears
May God be with you and bless you all the time
Keep the good work you've started and to your Heavenly Father , God be the glory
All the love from me ❤
Praise God!! Love this young man. Bless him, Jesus!
God bless your heart young man and keep you safe and protected in the mighty Name of Jesus!
Beautiful! Inspiring! Hope-full! Thank you, Colt, for sharing your testimony… and for, by God’s grace, being such a great role model.
Amazing! To God be the Glory!
Wow, wow and another wow. Colt God richly bless and empowers you the more. There is nothing joyful for parents to see their kids following them to heaven where we'll be with our babies forever.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you for sharing this Colt 💜💜💜
I also Am looking for ways to evangelize, also have my own plans on how to do it (believing God has put such arguments in my mind and heart) but now due to CoronaVirus I'm planning on doing it online
Go on twitter and evangelize there. Tweet in different languages (use google translate). It’s fast, many people can see the tweets.
@@TronRider thank you brother.
Love all of these Living Waters !!
Wow what a blessing!! God is good!
Wow! He figured this out at 15! It took me 51 years! ♥
Me until 30
If a kid can do it no excuse for us adults
This is a very good testimony the only problem I have is when he says the people rejecting him they're not rejecting him they're rejecting God. But this was a good video and inspiring.
Yes exactly what I just said.
Oh really almost sounds like you hate him for no reason. It doesn't makes sense to hate God if you believe in him see I believe in him and wouldn't tell him that.
Yeah I get it not everyone is going to agree with him but I saw the change in his life like most people do that get too far away from God. But actually they're rejecting God Ik because I've learned that in church from my Sunday school teacher.
Nope I'm 24.
It's fine good to hear you try to stay away from sin. I'm glad you read the bible and are loving. Those are good qualities.
praise God for his Saving Grace!
the fruit of the Spirit!
Wow! Awesome, truly work from the HS. Super inspiring. All the glory to God. 🙏🏻
Praise the Lord!
Amazing, how great is our Lord, praise be to him! Amen
Great testimony from one so young.
It is really that simple! Thank you, Ray!
Praise God! Keep up the good work Living Waters!
That's the power of Jesus, I had a very similar experience, late 30's for me, it is being born again and I became a sponge for more and more, reading the bible, watching videos about it, learning about the other religions beliefs so I could effectively share the gospel.
Great testimony. God bless.
You are an inspiration to me, an old Grandma. I am going to recommend Living Waters to a very mean'sounding man, who was attacking Christians on a site last night. Please pray for him. He says he isn't a Christian, but has the screen name of Yahushua.
O' GLORY To God and this is what True Conversion looks like. Thank you Father for making the Way JESUS 👑🙏🙌
This is amazing. Praise God!
The POWER & GLORY of our GOD!! This young man (as are we all) is truly in the image of God!
Ray is a legend in my book i have lurned so so much from him !
You really need to know your Bible to debate with him...
He has done a lot for me and i also try and share the Gospel as good as him he is a true insperation in the Christian life !
Thanks Ray and thanks for this video!
This kid has more courage than me. Really inspiring!!
You are sooo blessed!!!!!Halelujah!!!!!!!!!
Similar testimony I have myself I'm 15 at the minute and about 3 years ago I prayed I said to God Almighty. Lord God I come to you in pray and I want to know you more and I want to know more about you and be more like you. I said a few other stuff after that. Next day I started studying evolution science. Religion and I thought you cannot deny the existence of God Almighty I talk to people about Christ I have a ministry on Facebook and I study almost every night not as much as I should tho. But I'm growing Praise God Almighty HALLELUJAH IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN AMEN 🙏
It's sad what our schools are teaching our kids nowadays. If my kids were young again I would probably have decided to teach them from home. God bless you Colt!
Keep talking about Jesus brother Colt, your testimony can be a powerful message to the young and the lost, who desperately need Jesus!
wonderful testimony! Praise to the king of Kings!
God loves you and me no matter what!
Praise the Lord!! This is how I feel now too!
Hallelujah!
Thank you for this video. I really needed it.
The prodigal son in action. God's word is eternal!
love this kid. God bless each and everyone of you. :)
WOW!! Very impressive. What a blessing to be so inspired at such a young age.
Hallelujah
