Over the years, as I have personally navigated the evangelical spectrum of beliefs, I have come to find, by the Lord’s gracious hand, a stalwart and excellent ministry in Alpha & Omega. James White’s works have been a huge help in finding that elusive balance of proper understanding and application of solid biblical doctrine. Due to the lack of sound

You can count me as another follower of Christ deeply impacted by your ministry. While I was raised as a Mormon, I came to a crisis of faith in college. I was trying to convince my girlfriend (now my wife) of the “fullness of the gospel” when I began to see overwhelming evidence against Mormonism which simply could not be

Not really a testimony – I’ve been an atheist all my life. But I do respect that you are at least honest in your beliefs. You might be dogged in pursuing a point in debate, but that’s not really ‘mean’. Just to let you know – there are consistent atheists who are able to look nihilism honestly in the face.

I came across Alpha and Omega ministries in 1999 while in college. At the time I would have considered myself a conservative Christian (Baptist tradition). I was about 26 years old, enjoyed studying the bible and defending the faith however… I was not reformed, had no clue about the doctrines of grace, had a surface level knowledge of theology (very

I hardly even know where to begin telling what AOmin has meant to me, my family, and many friends. The reason it is so difficult to express is because there was once an attempted excommunication of me for heresy in June 2006. I was accused of being a Calvinist. It is difficult to express what happened and would sound so

Dear Dr. White, If not for your ministry, I would surely not be an apologist today… I remember attending a Bible study taught by our mutual friend Tim Staples on the subject of the book of Ephesians. He was saying things about what “your Protestant neighbors” believe. As one of those “Protestant neighbors” I didn’t hold to a bunch of

James, I didn’t like you when I was first introduced to you and Alpha and Omega ministry. I was a staunch and vocal KJV-Only apologist and I thought you were a pompous academic windbag who used clever argumentation to deny the truth about God’s one and only Bible. Of course, that personal evaluation came from a 23-year old punk who

Dear A&O, You might not be aware of this, but your ministry is also being used by God to change lives here on the other side of the globe. I am from the Philippines (Southeast Asia). I myself, like most of my countrymen, am a cradle Catholic. My parents became Christians when I was young child. As a result, I

To all at A&O MIN., Your hard work at providing a wide gamut of subjects over the years remains unparalleled. You guys remain on the cutting edge with solid reporting and interaction, let alone your ministry products. I’ve said to myself as the years have passed, what would we do without A&O MIN.. The Lord has raised up an incredible

Happy for to wish you a 25th Ann. This swish come from up north in Ontario, Can. Way smarter you made me in Reformed doctrine Convict me way more of my Totally Sin On Election- was hanging my chads for to see Then resigned with an Eh? Elohim, why me? Had a Limited knowledge of the Atownement, Till unlimited logs

Though brought up a “cradle Catholic,” I cannot say I was well catechized, despite being confirmed. I had a very clear understanding that Jesus was Savior and Lord from a young age, but couldn’t explain the details. As I learned more about Catholic theology, I realized I had never learned most of it growing up. My understanding was simple: Christ
