Internet evangelist hopes to convert ISIS leader through online video insulting Islam [View all]

An Internet evangelist hopes to convert the self-proclaimed “caliph” of the Islamic State straddling Iraq and Syria to the Christian faith through a personalized YouTube video.

Rev. Bill Keller posted the video message to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, urging the militant leader to renounce Islam and embrace Christianity.

“If Mr. al-Baghdadi won’t convert to faith in Christ, then he should have no problem calling on his god ‘Allah’ to answer by fire,” Keller said. “It will be a great stage for the world to finally see whose God is the one true God, the imaginary god ‘Allah’ worshipped by the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims, or the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the Bible.”

Liveprayer.com founder Keller, who also founded the website Vote For Jesus, compared his challenge to al-Baghdadi to the biblical showdown between the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Ba’al at Mount Carmel.
