Converted from what to Christianity? Was he a Native American by birth? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.109.115.43 (talk • contribs).


 * (The following is prefaced on my reading of the existing text, as I didn't add that part.) The modern lingo in evangelical Christianity would be "became a Christian" or "was born again".  We should update the article to modern language.  But in any wording it is describing the process of switching from not being a member of the religion (regardless of attendance at church or other functions) to being a member of the religion.  I'll refrain from editing the article until I find a source to see if my understanding is correct.  GRBerry 12:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I read a few of the bios. It appears not to be a conversion experience, more of an experience aking to a baptism in the spirit.  And he alerady had an intent to be a minister, so it is safer not to describe it as becoming Christian.  So I've adjusted the wording.  GRBerry

Hagiography
There's a lot of editorializing and puffery in this article. I'm going to trim a bit.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 04:57, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
