Convictions….

Nov 1, 2011   //   by gary   //   Uncategorized  //  Comments Off
lately God has been dealing with me on a word – the word is CONVICTION – so i decided to look it up and this is what i found via thefreedictionary.com
 
 
A fixed or strong belief. See Synonyms at opinion.
 
so this is saying that a conviction is synonymous with opinion hmm ….
 
so now my definition of a conviction – an opinion one has based upon a strong belief to break it down to a “christian” standpoint – an opinion one has due to God speaking to THAT person about a belief for THAT person, not necessarily applying to everyone. Not to be confused with fact – i.e. Jesus Christ came to this earth and died for our sins so that we can get to heaven… Convictions are person specific and may not apply to the person next to you – so i would be careful trying to FORCE your convictions onto others – this could cause some adverse reaction…
