I am Pentecostal. I am 100% Pentecostal and could never be anything else. It is the best way for me because it opens up the fullness of God and His Word in a way that nothing else can. It also gives me an avenue of worship that is full, meaningful and full of power. I learn spiritual warfare, effective Christian living, where I fit in the giftings and callings of God, and how to be truely intimate with my Lord.

I am a Catholic, but I believe all religions have some truths. I very strongly believe this. This is the best way for me because I am a lot more loving person right now, and this world needs a lot more love.

i am a Roman Catholic -- from birth and by choice -- I've seen what's out there! All groups have some amount of truth -- but I ned a church that is deeply rooted -- and a church that goes all the way back to the apostles is pretty rooted. Never mind one of these manmade churches from Martin Luther (1517) and later.

I remain a Catholic because I need grace, salvation, community -- local and worldwide....I can go to a Catholic Mass in any country whatsoever and even though I do not speak the language I can "follow along" very well. I also need the Sacraments -- especially the Eucharist.

Peace!
I was born and raised a Presbyterian Protestant. When I was 22 I converted to Catholicism after studying the major denominations of Christianity.
I was convinced the Catholic Church is the right one because it was founded by Jesus Christ himself. All the teachings of the Catholic Church are true. I found out that, contrary to popular belief, it was the most Biblical of all Christian religions. I also learned that Apostolic Tradition is supported by Sacred Scripture and just as important.
What really convinced me to become Catholic was the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. I found out that I missed many verses in Sacred Scripture about this teaching when I was a Protestant. I also learned that the early Christians and the Church Fathers believed in the Real Presence in the Eucharist and was very forceful about this doctrine.
I have not regretted my decision even though some of my Protestant relatives persecute me.
God bless

I am Catholic. I believe in my Religion very strongly. My Church has been there for me since I was born a cripple and they have supported me through all my operations and pain. Besides that I have learnt so much about God and the Bible through the Church. I am happy being a Catholic even when I get e mails from David T calling me a pagan but I am a Catholic/Christian

God Bless You

I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe in the Holy Bible. And thats because in my heart... I want to. I believe in my religion, the Roman Catholic Church, my only true love of JESUS. Yes, I've looked around, the Episcopal Church I truly accept at this point, but can you imagine, oral sex betwen two men is acceptable, permissable, and would you believe a Bishop in the Episcoplal Church (Anglican), has been approved as a leader in that church. Lord I so much want to be apart of that church. HELP ME JESUS, MY LORD AND MY GOD./............

i'm fairly nicely attentive to the inconsistencies and logical fallacies interior my faith. area of it ought to be divinely inspired, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it grew to become into nonetheless written and arranged by skill of people. To err is human nature, and few people ought to withstand including their very own very own perspectives and understandings (heck, lots of them probable did no longer even understand they have been doing so; it grew to become into only reflexive). So of direction there is be issues. Holy scriptures are not meant to be taken actually, a minimum of no longer in all components. this is the precis that binds it and provides it which skill. As for why i've got self belief, inspite of understanding all of this? I even have in my view witnessed miracles. and that i'm no longer speaking philosophical each and every-baby's-start-is-a-miracle form stuff; I even have seen outstanding issues that technology and reason only can't quantify. And... I *want* to have self belief it. people are very obdurate creatures. as quickly as a man or woman comes to a decision what they have self belief is acceptable, they infrequently are very keen to alter their minds. An atheist ought to witness a miracle, and after hemming and hawing and desperately searching for a scientific question, in the event that they are in a position to't locate one, they are going to easily make certain that technology hasn't stepped forward a techniques adequate to comprehend it--yet there remains no actual way it ought to be a god. they're as truthful as we are, only in a distinctive direction.

Former Mormon of 8 years, did soul searching, reading, studying and going to different churches. Gave it all after a year and then I was saved after blacking out earlier last year. Long story short I am now Pentecostal. With my experiences and the Mormons I felt like I couldn't breath most of them thinking they were hollier than thou and now I feel free. Freely worship Jesus and not to hide or to be ashamed. Love it, love it, love it!!!
