Would you Christians believe it? Would you start following him? Going to his meetings and paying tribute?

Ooops sorry, Bin Laden.

The truth of the matter is that Saul was a wicked man when he was on the road to Damascus and was a hater of Christians and consented to their execution. He was not a saved man at that time. Though we now live in post Biblical times, Saul's (later to become Paul) experience shows that none are utterly beyond the wonderful grace of God offered though Christ Jesus including Bin Laden.

I'll ask you the same question....what if Ben Laden had a Paul-type experience on the road to Damascus?

After 9/11 I would rather see him dead.

Paul wasn't followed, nor was he paid tribute. He demonstrated his change of conviction thru his ministry.
However, the belief part is an interesting question! One's faith is nothing without works, and I suppose the works demonstrating the conversion would be the compelling aspect of such a conversion.
Would YOU believe bin Laden if he claimed to have had a sudden conversion to Christianity and began preaching the true Word of God through Jesus Christ?

I don't think that would happen. However, if Bin Laden believes in Jesus with all his heart and asks for forgiveness, even he could go to Heaven.
No one is beyond redemption. That was the gift garnered through the sacrifice made by the son of God.

True Christians would recognise that Bin Laden's ambitions did not agree with loving God and loving your neighbour as Christ taught. So they would not believe it.

If it was true, I would believe it.
I wouldn't follow him. I would continue to follow he who called him--i.e., Jesus.
And if bin Laden had been called by Christ, bin Laden himself would not want to lead me, as he would know who his Leader and mine is.
In any event, bin Laden did not have this experience.

With God, all things are possible!
I would be delighted of course, and would want to hear his testimony and give glory to God.
I follow no one other than the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not wise to put any man on a pedestol.

Paul did not kill, did not order the killing of!
He arrested to have them taken to be judged by the temple, and they if any killed!
Ben Laden has killed, and has ordered the killing!
He is no Paul! He is like his father the first murder, and the father of lies!
