Into His Marvellous Light
 

Has anyone here seen good results using IHML? I mean have YOU actually seen its effectiveness? Have YOU actually used it? Does your church use it? What are the results?

Are there any other systems or studies as good as or better than IHML?

Rightly Dividing the Word is the best I've seen. It had phenomenal success.

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

Excuse me. Is IHML another organization or fellowship? Or does it refer to I Peter 2:9?

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

It's a short encapsulated bible study that focuses on Acts 2:38 salvation.

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

Yes. I think it works well.

It does not work as effective, IMO, when broken up over a few days. For some reason people take too long to teach it but I can do it in about an hour

You have to already know the material and the point it's trying to make, which is essentially to get them to realize they need to find out what the Apostles taught in Acts

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

The problem with it is that it literally takes 2 days...if that. It's called "The Two Day Bible Study" too

IHML is about an hour

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

The issue was which is more effective.

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

So after the study you fill up the tub and start baptizing people? Or is it designed to get a person to come to church, hear preaching, get convicted, and then make a decision?

Also, can you explain how you present it? Do you just read it straight through?

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

My point being that dividing it up over two days is less effective. People tend to forget what they learned the previous day

Re: Into His Marvellous Light
 

Yes they decide to be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit. I sort of read it straight through but as I said I pretty much have it memorized so I end up going off script so to speak

I like to begin with basics, explaining why we need to be saved, then I go through the bible study with them.

I won't let them read any verses out loud themselves as I have found most people who are not used to going to church and reading the bible just don't read very well and it can be painfully slow and you have to end up just reading them again anyways

There are sections where there are fill in the blank questions you use to basically remind them what you just examined
