I hold to a more catechetical view of Christian conversion. This is commonly opposed to a revivalistic view of conversion. The former emphasizes a long, steady, natural process of learning the faith and coming to believe and be converted over a period of time - quietly, almost invisibly. The latter emphasizes a dramatic conversion experience that happens all at once.
Reformed churches generally hold to a catechetical view of conversion for their children - this is good. But if one holds to a catechetical view of conversion for children, why would they take a different view on adult conversion? Why expect adult conversions of unbelievers to be any different? Why expect a dramatic conversion experience for adults?
