Meet Baptist Pastor who Converted to Islam after 50 Years as a Missionary and Pastor

David S. Gullion is the son of a US Army veteran who served in the World War II and was also Baptist missionaries. The religious inclinations of his parent meant that David grew up in a home with a lot of Christian activities and so he had a strong Christian foundation in his early days which persuaded to become a Baptist missionary just like his father.
But despite his devotion to the Baptist church as a missionary and clergyman, David felt he needed to know more about religion and the Prophets. This led him into series of investigations that led him into a whole new experience, different from the reality of his parents and his church.

In an interview TheDeenShow, a popular Islamic programme in America, David spoke about his spiritual journey that made him turn his back to his Christian experience and 50 years of serving as a missionary in the Baptist church. Now he is a confessed Muslim.

During the interview, he also spoke about his book, “The Last Christian” which chronicles his journey into Islam.

“My parents were Baptist missionaries. My father was a soldier in US army in WW2. Even as a young person, I came to realise that there must have been a difference between the Jesus of faith and the person of history. And it wasn’t until I began to investigate Islam that I began to make sense of who Jesus was. During this investigating I eventually became Muslim.

“This was in march 1995, what happened was that Dr. Allum invited me to talk to him in Abubakar mosque here in Houston. The only question I asked him the whole time I was there was “is Prophet Mohammed the same prophet as you would find in the bible?” “And he said yes.”

“In my opinion I don’t think he was, but I was going to investigate. I had all that I needed to have an investigation. I simply ran home got my old testament. Ran through the Old Testament to know what defines a prophet in the Old Testament.

“Then I went out to make an investigation of Prophet Mohammed. To my great surprise he fit the criteria. Then I was interested. I got two translation of the Koran and over a two week period I read both of them.

“Then I felt a strong compulsion to become a Muslim, but I did not want to become a Muslim. And I said to myself “if I can have one good reason not to become Muslim I will not become a Muslim. And so I spent three months trying to find a good reason not to become a Muslim. But based on what I know I felt that I had to become a Muslim,” he said. “That is why I am a Muslim,” he concluded.

Based on his experience and quest to discover religion, David wrote a book, “The Last Christian” which he says is an effort to differentiate between the Jesus of history, the person that actually walk the earth with Jesus of faith.

He wasn't a Christian in the first place but a MISINFORMED CHURCHGOERS!
Let me say few things about Jesus and how he commissioned the movement then i welcome anyone who may feel what i said is wrong to present his argument with points.


Jesus do go to meet people in their homes preached and taught from house to house even though there was a Temple and several synagogues where the Israelites do meet for worship. Matthew 10:11-13
Is that the same thing this pastor did?

Jesus taught his disciples not to see anyone as enemy but keep praying for their enemies as a means of making peace, so no Christian can think of raising weapons against anyone be it a friend or foe! Matthew 5:43-48
Is that the same way this pastor did?

Jesus taught his followers never to interfere in politics because it's Satan's scheme that easily makes people raise weapons against one another! John 15:19; 17:14-16; 18:36
Is that the same way this pastor did?

These are the simple tenets of Christianity that any honest hearted individual can't deny, so whoever doesn't find himself in such a setting is not a Christian. It's not about praying for people without going to meet them in their homes as Jesus' custom! smiley
