As a young believer, John Ryland struggled with the ups and downs of doubts and assurance. At times, he despaired of being truly converted. He also knew times of considerable confidence that
Christ had saved him. His parents both ministered to his spiritual needs and a few months before
age 15, his father baptized him, crying out, “Thanks be to God for this boy”. John said he never
forgot that sound and was much affected at the time by it. That same month, September, he
joined the church. Their records say, “September 11, 1767, aged 14 ¾” which probably shows the
unusually young age of his membership.
