Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting – Donald Trump according to a new report, has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
According to Dr. James Dobson, who was among the more than 900 evangelical faith leaders who met with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in New York City, says it happened fairly recently although he cannot tell the actual time. He also said he knew who led the businessman to Christ.
“I don’t know when it was, but it has not been long,” Dobson told Godfactor’s Michael Anthony I believe he really made a commitment, but he’s a baby Christian. We all need to be praying for him, especially if there’s a possibility of him being our next chief executive officer.”
“I think that he’s open,” he added. “He doesn’t know our language, he really doesn’t, and he refers a lot to religion and not much to faith and belief.”
“Yeah, well you’ve got to cut him some slack. He didn’t grow up like we did,” Dobson responded. “I think there’s hope for him, and I think there’s hope for us. I have great concerns about the next election.”
Dobson said he was in the “small group” of 40 faith leaders who met with Trump earlier in the day at Trump Tower, and that he had a chance to interact directly with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting.
“He’s a lot nicer guy than you [think],” he said. “I think he is listening. There were a lot of people ministering to him personally.”
Dobson also praised the event, during which he said faith leaders were “genuinely seeking the Lord’s direction” in the things Trump was saying.
“He’s sometimes kind of obscure in the way that he answers questions, and we wanted to ask him directly, with follow-up questions,” he said. “We got a chance to do that.”
