A. Those who are not "impressed" with Alpha courses shouldn't be surprised. An Alpha course is not designed to convert atheists. It is to give information to new believers about what the christian church believes and aims to follow. Therefore, it has a very open, non-defensive, non-apologetic stance on Christianity. If atheists want an apologetics course, they should look for one. New Christians are the target audience. So of course those who go to be entertained, to criticize, to research etc. will find that the course is not really for them. If an atheist was to attend, it would be like a high-school kid going to kindergarten and criticizing the motives of the 3 little pigs.

Is the Alpha Course a cult?
Q. Is Alpha a cult? Where I work my boss is a leader of a group, along with a 19 year old girl, and 2 other co-workers also attend, and the trend here is showing that for example, you don't go to alpha my boss will treat you terribly(I've been asked several times). It's not run by anyone with a religious education or background which makes me wonder. Other things that make me wonder are how they trick you into going. My boss one day asked a co-worker to go to dinner and a movie with him, this co-worker later found out this was alpha, and this person has attended ever since out of fear. Can anyone who attends these courses or knows more please educate me. (On a side note I was told this was a course to educate you and have you prepared… [cont.]

A. The Alpha Course was put together by a guy called Nicky Gumbel. He is of course a Christian and his aim was to achieve a course which is a non-threatening exploration of the Christian faith. I have personally taken many people to Alpha courses, and they have been run exactly as they were intended to be - completely non-threatening.

Should I go for the alpha course first?
Q. I have been a christian (not baptised yet)for many years though I have to say the past few years I was kinda a slacker in attending church and wanting to know more about Jesus. Recently I went back to church to explore the faith and even join a small intimate bible study group. My mentor gave me a life application bible and I have been reading it a lot and I really want to follow jesus so I decide I should get baptised at my church for the coming baptism. However I have heard some said that one should join an alpha course first before getting baptized while others say the alpha course is for those new christians. I talked to my mentor about it and she said get baptized first. So is the alpha course really important or can I do away with… [cont.]

A. You don't need the "alpha course". It isn't perfectly accurate doctrinally anyway. Start reading in the Book of John, and read the chapters in order. Ask Jesus for understanding, and He will give it to you! :) When done with John, read the Book of Romans. :) For a commentary, here is a website that teaches the meaning of every verse in the Bible: It can help with any verses that you might want explanation on. Jesus is God, and Jesus loves you so very much! :D And the Trinity is true! The truth about Jesus is that the only way to be saved and to get into heaven and avoid being sent to hell, is by believing in JESUS for His free gift of eternal life in heaven, believing in faith alone that Jesus, who is God, died on the cross for… [cont.]

A. I didn't see the programme so I can't comment on it, but I never make decisions on the opinion of one article or one programme, they can put whatever slant they want on it. I have however been on an Alpha course, and similarly people shouldn't make decisions about the course unless they have had some experience of them, and certainly not from one TV programme. I've always believed in Jesus Christ as a historical figure but have had a lot of problems with the 'god' bit, which is one of the reasons I went on it. The programme includes a lot of discussions in groups which I found very interesting, there is certainly no 'brainwashing' involved, I wasn't even aapproached to alter my views on my own personal beliefs and I could talk and… [cont.]

A. I recommend it. They are the ideal forum for understanding what Christianity is about. They will not 'force' you to believe in Christianity, and welcome questions and even disagreement. I have taken friends to a couple of courses - the best one was when there were several people who were (initially at least) quite vocally opposed to Christianity. You learn stuff (even if you don't agree, it is still educational to understand what other people believe), Interesting discussion, and a meal! Go for it.

A. I have not but that's because I don't agree with the basis for the doctrine of Alpha course. I think it would be better just to feed the people and worship God giving glory to Jesus for what he did for us. Holy spirit works in wonderful ways without being manipulated by the human race when we trust in God. The Bible study I think is very important but the basis for that needs to be looked at. I'm much more a sit and study with a drink of tea and a warm fire and freedom to think rather than all that structure. Many people have done the course as long as it holds to. Repent change your mind believing on Christ Jesus and follow him then it's ok. Remember you are just as able to study the bible and get answers as anyone else. … [cont.]

A. Oh, gee- where to start?... Start with telling them that if they want to know what we believe, you'll be happy to explain what we believe and why, but that your intent is NOT to convince them of anything, merely to explain your perception... and you'd appreciate the same respect... They'll probably ask... 1) What exactly do Mormons believe about the nature of God? Because there are passages in the Bible to support both the trinitarian and the non-trinitarian view, there's no way to definitively say one way is right and the other is wrong, just from the Bible. The only way to get conclusive evidence (as it were) either way is to go to the Source of all truth... Get on your knees and pray. 2) Are Mormons Christian? Bare your testimony,… [cont.]
