Hi Little Billy, and welcome.
I make a point to read everybody's welcome post in this forum.
I have observed several of my peers - my friends, and my family, and my acquaintances fall away from Christ. Now you are delighted about this, and clearly are entitled to your feelings.
I mean to raise this point with you. Your wording says that you had "plans" to convert the "lost" to Christ. An Evangelical Christian doesn't plan, they do. And they don't need to plan to "convert the lost", what an utterly unappealing line - rather they witness the Gospel.
I can appreciate that you felt that you were an evangelical Christian, however I feel strongly that Evangelicals practise witnessing and by that they, or rather we, are defined.
Again welcome, and I look forward to a dialogue with you.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
