A people are devout Christians who were raised in the Christian environment.
B's are those who have lived a big part of their life as a non-Christian,
maybe having strayed and returned, maybe as a late convert. C's are those
who really do not relate to the Christian environment. (I got this in a
class at our church, my definitions are not as precise as I would like as I
don't have them written down). The point is that A's virtually never convert
C's. A's bring some of the straying B's into the fold and B's convert C's.
My bigger point is that trust begets trust. I'm sure you've heard that
someone who has done you a little favor, even if it's a total stranger, is
far more likely to do you another, or even a bigger favor? (It's taught in
various sales classes.)People are unlikely to respond to the witness of
those they don't relate to on another level. Once they start relating on
some level, they are an easier sell.

No, I'm not familiar with these - at least in these terms.
