This is my story – Part Nine: blogging and Raised With Christ

Last updated on: June 27, 2018 at 11:05 pm By Adrian Warnock

This serialization of my story, my testimony if you will, has become rather long! But I haven’t really mentioned the blog so far. I thought in this post I would mention how the blog began and a few general points about it, and what it has led to for me. This post will not detail the highlights of the blog, as I have looked at that in my recent “most popular posts” article and my blog highlights series. People sometimes... Read more

This is my story – Part Eight: My Career

Last updated on: January 10, 2024 at 2:03 pm By Adrian Warnock

As I speak about the story of my life, it has seemed easier to me when speaking about some of the most recent years to focus on different areas of life. I seem to wear a lot of different hats. One thing that has always amused me is that several people over the years have assumed that I must be full time working on my blog. But a man has to actually earn a living, as blogging certainly doesn’t pay... Read more

This is my story – Part Seven: My Church

Last updated on: January 10, 2024 at 1:58 pm By Adrian Warnock

In the summer of 1995, I also moved church, and later home, to be a part of what was then a tiny church plant in Enfield, North London. I had met the founding pastor, Colin Potter at a Newfrontiers conference, and as I planned to live in North London, felt that joining his new church was the best thing. The early days of the church plant were exciting, challenging, but at times it felt like it was slow moving. For a... Read more

This is my story – Part Five: Moving to London

Last updated on: October 14, 2025 at 3:55 pm By Adrian Warnock

By the age of 18, I had a lot of the over-confidence of youth, but that was tinged with the realization that I had a lot to learn. As I left the safety of my parental home and launched out into London to study medicine, God had a plan to teach me one of the most important lessons of my life—one which every now and then I am reminded that I still do not fully live in the light of....

This is my story – Part Four: My Teenage Years

Last updated on: January 10, 2024 at 1:35 pm By Adrian Warnock

I concluded the last section of my story by explaining that because of my father’s job relocation, we moved away from the church in which I had been so happy. For me, moving away from my friends and the church I had so loved was tough. Suddenly I discovered that there were churches that were different to the one in which I’d grown up. Well, to be fair, I had previously also been aware of the Anglican church that had... Read more

This is my story – Part Three: My Baptism and sense of call

Last updated on: January 10, 2024 at 1:29 pm By Adrian Warnock

As a young child, one of my favourite verses was the following: Acts 10:47—“Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” My parents found themselves with no arguments left. I had received the Spirit just as they had. I was clearly a Christian. How could they stop me any longer from being baptized? I remember the day well. We had a temporary wooden baptistery with a plastic lining. I loved... Read more

This is my story – Part Two: seeing the birth of a movement

Last updated on: October 14, 2025 at 3:55 pm By Adrian Warnock

I wonder if my father thought that what had happened the night I said I wanted to become a Christian had been real. I was so young; could I really understand it? Could this short conversation which ended in me praying really make such a difference to me? Could it be true that I had accepted Christ at such a young age? I do remember being in no doubt about it the next morning when I had an argument with... Read more

For the next couple of weeks I am disconnecting from the Internet as I usually do around this time of year. I have scheduled some posts for you which works through my testimony. One of the things about a blog is that it is, by its very nature, a very personal thing. You meet not just a set of ideas, but a person.

LIVE TV DEBATE: Does Modern day prophecy automatically weaken Sola Scriptura?

Last updated on: October 13, 2025 at 1:21 pm By Adrian Warnock

My live TV debate vs Pastor Mark Fitzpatrick, a cessationist, is now available to view online at Part One and Part Two. My opponent argued that in 1 Corinthians 13 Paul meant that gifts will cease when the Bible was complete. I disagreed, saying they continue until Jesus returns. We both agreed with the concept of Sola Scriptura, in other words the sufficiency and finality of revelation found in the Bible and point to 2 Timothy 3:15-17: The sacred writings, which are able...
