I came from a charismatic background and as you can imagine there wasn’t much emphasis on biblical exegesis of any sort. I grew up arminian and when I came of age I essentially ended up with the half-baked semi-pelagian free-will man-centered doctrine that is so prevalent on christian radio today. A certain bible answer man was my favorite teacher at

Congrats on 25 years! That is amazing to see any single ministry last that long, and still hold to the truth with the same conviction. Over time many “sell-out” and it is truly a blessing that you haven’t. At any rate, I have not been around long, but your ministry has had a large impact in my life and ministry.

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

I cannot express enough my gratitude to God for establishing this ministry and leading me to it. This ministry has done so much to help me understand my own faith better. I deeply appreciate the debates, the books, and the teaching of this ministry. By watching the debates, I have been able to better understand what it is that I

Greetings from sunny Miami, Florida! I remember when I was first introduced to Alpha and Omega ministries. It was 2001, and I was a sophomore attending Clearwater Christian College taking Greek for the first time, and I had a dear friend of mine that was KJV only (actually there were four of them, but I’m only going to mention one

I am very grateful that God brought my attention to the ministry of James White and A & O Ministries. About nine years ago I came into contact w/ a fellow Christian at work who was TR Only and thus against the modern Bible translations. He had a lot of information from most of the KJV Only advocates. I didn’t

I first found aomin about 10 months after being out of jail (approx. 2003). I was at a point in my life where I wanted to learn as much as I could about the faith I had embraced after a life of drugs and violence and I wanted to learn how to defend that faith. I came across Dr. White’s

Greetings in the Lord, In 1996 I was saved and shortly after that glorious day, I noticed a poster hanging in the church that I had started attending (the first and only non-Catholic church I’d ever stepped foot in up to that point–AA meetings not-withstanding). The poster advertised “The Great Debate–Mary Queen of Heaven or Sinner Saved by Grace?” I

I will briefly summarize how Alpha & Omega ministries helped change the direction of my life to the glory of God. As the end of my college career approached, I was unsure about my future and even more doubtful of my Christian beliefs. I was recovering from a serious drug habit, and also still grieving the loss of a best

Greetings Dr White I would like to express my gratitude for the blessing that your ministry has brought me. My interest in the serious study of God’s Word and theology started when I first listened to the Dividing Line 8 yrs ago. Your ministry exposed me to serious scholarship in theological studies. After studying and embracing the doctrines of grace,

Greetings from Florida, Many years ago I read an article by James White in the Christian Research Journal on the doctrine of the Trinity. This article caused me to understand the subject better and enabled me to witness to folks in the UPCI. Our church has hosted two debates on the subject in the past five years and we have

Dear Dr. White, I first discovered Alpha & Omega Ministries about eight years ago. I was looking at the NIV website, and at the bottom was a link to ?New Age Bible Versions Refuted.? I had never even heard of the King James Only issue, but I read your article and eagerly looked for more. That was only the beginning!

James — As a cradle Catholic and pretty much a life-long Catholic (who seriously considered studying for the priesthood at one point), and even a veteran of several years’ worth of Opus Dei “evenings of recollection,” I cannot thank you enough for your ministry. I was one of those who was a happy Catholic, and overjoyed with the publication of

Dear Dr. White and Mr. Pierce I am currently serving in the Army in the Middle East on my third tour (fifth, if you count pre-9/11 deployments). I am in a special ops unit and in my job, I travel extensively around the country and interact closely with the local population. As a result, I am not able to attend

Hi Dr. White and Rich, Hopefully this e-mail won’t be too long winded and you will be able to persevere to the end and gain some encouragement from my little testimonial. I don’t expect a personal response as I know you are probably getting tons of these (though I would not turn one down.) 🙂 I wanted to briefly tell

Dear AOMIN: About five years ago, the Sovereign Lord was gracious to me and my family in rescuing us from the grip of the United Pentecostal Church. We were serving as pastors a of new church plant for the UPCI in Providence, RI, when the Lord began to open my eyes and heart to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We

Dear James, Rich and all of you faithful brethren at Alpha & Omega Ministries, Happy 25th Anniversary!!! Congratulations on reaching such a milestone in your ministry, by God’s grace!!! It is extremely difficult for me to adequately put into words how much your labors for the furtherance of Christ’s Kingdom have meant to me personally. The decade of “The Great

I will try to get the first of the wonderful testimonial e-mails posted today. I have so many to choose from! It has been a great encouragement to us to read through these e-mails. I can tell many of you put a lot of thought into your submissions, and that came through. Well, except for John Samson, who just wrote,
