Iran is looking to institute the death penalty again those who have converted to another religion in compliance with Muhammad’s command to kill Muslims who discard their religion. The Christians were arrested at a baptism in a private home that had been converted to a church and if the law is passed, they will face the death penalty for their conversion:

Sixteen Iranians who converted from Islam to Christianity were arrested on Tuesday in Malakshahr, on the outskirts of the central Iranian city of Isfahan.
The six women, eight men and two adolescents who were arrested were assisting in a conversion ceremony and baptism of three new members of the church at a private house that had been transformed into an evangelical church.

A few months ago, the government presented a bill which is currently being discussed in parliament, to include in the penal code the crime of “Ertedad” which is the act of abandoning the Muslim faith.
If the parliament does approve the law, the punishment for abandoning Islam will be the death penalty.

Please join me in praying for the Muslims in Iran who convert to Christianity. Please pray for their safety and that they remain undetected. Pray that these people will not be put to death because they believe in Jesus Christ. And for their safety while in prison.
