Anmar was raised in a strict Muslim household and risked becoming an outcast, and worse, to turn from tradition and follow the faith he believed in his heart. Listen to his testimony of coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ on Unshackled.

Yesterday I wrote concerning a celebrity Christian comedian and his having to cancel his upcoming tour due to sinful actions in his life. Today, another celebrity of the world has professed his faith in Christ, Kayne West, and is taking the churches and Christendom in general by storm. 
However, should a new Christian be applauded and allowed to ‘perform’ before he has time to grow in his new found faith?
Paul said to Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. Then there is 1 Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
West is according to his own testimony a new convert to Christianity. Matthew Henry in commenting on 1 Timothy 5:22 says ‘”Be not too hasty in laying hands on any; remit not the censure of the church to any, till time be first taken for the proof of their sincerity in their repentance, neither be partakers of other men’s sins, implying that those who are too easy in remitting the censures of the church encourage others in the sins which are thus connived at, and make themselves thereby guilty.” I personally believe this is a verse along with 1 Timothy 3: 6 that should be followed in this and all cases of new converts.
West is definitely a novice to the Christian faith. Now, if West is saved he needs time to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
However, if West is NOT saved then he and those opening their churches for him to perform are not helping him but are helping him along with others straight to hell.
This will NOT end well.
Don Avigliano

Donald Paul Avigliano was an accomplished artist, astronomer, author, and Bible teacher. He served in the U.S. Army in WWII, graduated from Pasadena Junior College, and in 1947, married Helen. In 1954, he turned from atheism and accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior.
In the 1950s and 60s, Don studied Bible at Wheaton College and was an evangelist with Open Air Campaigners. After retiring, Don continued teaching the Bible and ministered to the homeless.
Huck was a Tennessee boy who nobody loved. He was moved from place to place as a lad but when he was old enough he joined the Marines. His life in the Marines was not what he would have liked but he at least received an honorable discharge. Through various circumstances, he meets the Lord Jesus Christ, marries and attends Bible College. He never ‘feels’ called to be a ‘preacher’ but he and his wife are used of the Lord to help many young people who found themselves in similar situations as Huck did to come to faith in Christ.
