Refugees who converted to Christianity are denied asylum if they can’t prove the authenticity of their Christian faith by answering questions when they attend an interview on arrival. Applications are turned down if the Home Office believes their conversion was a ploy to claim asylum. However, if a refugee has come to faith in an underground house church, where they’ve been able to borrow a New Testament for a week and have encountered the risen Lord Jesus, they are not going to know when the date of Pentecost is or the Catholic rule of abstinence on Fridays. An Iranian convert to Christianity told the BBC that he applied for asylum after fleeing persecution back home, but his application was denied following a failed interview. He was asked to name the last book of the Bible, Revelation, but his correct answer in the Farsi language was misunderstood by the interpreter.
