I was 21. When I was 7 I was healed by a spiritualist of a nervous condition. However, this caused me to be demonically possessed. I experienced a number of psychic abilities and the demon persuaded me down courses of action that I later regretted. I was increasing obsessed wityh the Occult, much to my families concern. By the time I was 21 I would have been diagnosed as psychotic and schizophrenic. Up until this time I did not recognise my "companion" as a demon. All I knew was I was losing control and sanity,
I attended a college where I learned about computer programming. There were two men there from St Mark's Kenington, a Charismatic Anglican church that was led by Reverend Nicholas Rivet-Carnac. They told me that what I had was a demon, and I immediately saw that they were right. This was October 31st 1978.
On November 5th 1978 I attended St Marks. After the service Nicholas exorcised me by laying on of hands and baptised me in The Holy Spirit. I had a powerful experience like being filled with a blue white light. I have been a Christian ever since. I have no choice. I know what is waiting for me if ever I turn my back on God.
What has happened since then? That is for another time. Suffice it to say that God is loving and faithful.

None of us are every truly Saved.
As in the very word, Saved means past tense.
The Bible states that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God.
Paul the Apostle said that even though he had run the race, ( meaning that even though he had done all the Bible had said, he still may not even be saved when it came down to it.
So I dont think any of us are ever what you may call "Saved".

8 years old.
I was listening the the preacher talk about heaven, and I knew that I didn't want to miss out of such a wonderful place, but I also knew that I was a sinner (I had lied before, and said bad words) and my being a sinner got in the way of me going to heaven. but I found out that through faith and just asking God to forgive me, that he would forgive me and come into my heart and life and I could go to the place that I heard so much about. I couldn't wait to ask God to save me! that's been a long time ago now and I never have regretted it for a second.

I can't point to a particular day it happened to me as some can. I was taken to church as a child and believed in God, I also believed that Jesus was the son of God who died on a cross and rose again. And that was it, that's all I knew. Then I stopped going to church for about twenty-five years!
About ten years ago I began attending a very good bible teaching church and got into bible study. In these last years, that is when I became what I would call "born again"...but as I said, I could not point to one moment when it happened.
Thank God it did, though! *smile*

Baptist theology says as quickly as saved consistently saved. the two she exchange into on no account saved to start with or her denial is self admission to a ineffective end perception. she would be in a position to't bypass to hell. Hell is right here on earth and get away is in basic terms achievable via Jesus Christ. there continues to be time to seek for the face of God.

I was nine years old and I was attending a Stockade meeting, which was kind of like a boy scout's group, but with a Christian emphasis and Bible teachings. This group went on at a Christian school I was going to while growing up.

I was around 17.. I had a lot of questions regarding God and the answers I received were never close to being considered truthful. Eventually I saw God for what it was.. False hope.
Since them I have been trying to live each moment as though it were the most important one in my life.
