vritsoc: no it wasn't anything like that, I really do want to hear their experiences.

Answer 1

Things in my life were not going well. One night I finally realized who I really was and my condition. I was the worse of sinners in desperate need of God's forgiveness. So I fell down to my knees face down on the ground and told God I needed his grace. I realized that He had died for me on the cross and I wanted Jesus to forgive me of my sins. I knew Jesus was my only hope. Before this happened I knew Christianity intellectually, in other words I knew what it was but I never did what it took to be a real Christian, realizing my sin and accepting Christ as my savior. I called myself a Christian but I really wasn't, I knew the prize was there I just did not collect it. I was one of those who thought Jesus will save everyone unless they were really bad. This is true, but one must accept Christ. God wants true love from his followers, so he allows us to choose Him or not. If we did not have to choose Him then we could not love him. After I accepted Christ, I actually knew very little about God. But God is revealing Himself to me more and more everyday through the Holy Spirit and his word the Bible. This by far, by far was the best decision I ever made or ever will make in my life. My life is not perfect but I have the glourious hope that is in Christ Jesus and at this I am so happy. I love him, he is my lord, my savior, and my king. Yes I am still a Christian and nothing will pluck me from his hand. Peace be with you my friend.

Answer 2

I wanted to kill myself. I did a very desperate thing, I put myself on the paths of the 'Gods'.

Not much later I was getting a haircut from a Christian Barber who told me about Jesus. I decided to try it while I was alone in a room.

The Spirit of God came upon me and relieved me from a demonic prescence that I was aware of since I was about 8 years old. God's spirit chased it away twice that night. But before the second time I got to see heaven, though I could not see God there, I saw people or angels, I do not know which, going about their buisness. The Spirit of God was with me there. I could feel the love, and in that place there was rejoicing, I think it was praising of God for another person was saved. I think that they meant me.

After I realized that I was still in the room, I was given an urge to speak in tongues, but I didn't know what that was, but I was sure that my sister in law outside the door of the room would hear me speak what I thought would sound like gibberish, so I held back.

So I couldn't even deny God after that. It was the Sinner's prayer that I recited, though I was told to say it from the heart and in my own words.

Yes. I am still a Christian. A strange Christian but a Christian nonetheless.

Answer 3

The Bible teaches that "The wadges of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." I believe that God is the creator and has given us the millions of blessings of the earth, life itself, our body and mind, and much more. Someone, and that someone is Gods own holy Son, Jesus. Died to forgive my sins and grant me (all people) eternal life in Heaven. This life lasts no more than 100 or so years. Heaven is endless. I can feel ecstasy about my future knowing that I believe in Christ and when I die in this life my next breath will be in a perfect body in an everlasting beautiful place..Heaven. Things like sickness, old age, war, theft, violence, hate, disagreements, money problems, poor living conditions, etc. will not exist in Heaven. I know that I will see my loved ones that have passed on again. I know it isn't over. The best is yet to come. And come it will--in Heaven. There will be trials and temptations in this life but God is with me and I can, with His aid, overcome all things. I am but a stranger here, Heaven is my home. (taken from the Bible.)

Answer 4

im not sure what you mean...im not a church leader or anything, but from what i have read in the bible and history books, Jesus saved us (if that really is what he did) like 2000 years ago, and i definitely wasnt alive to feel a change. I was born after the fact. i think that most christians would stone me for saying that, though but im still a christian i think...and this sounds like it probably was an attempt to instigate christians to say dumb things so you could get a little laugh out of it... looks like it worked

Answer 5

Hi David!!!!

God bless you!!! Well I have to say that in my case, since
my family has being Christians, I feel I was saved even before I was even concieved!!!

But as in a consious level of accepting GOD as our creator, JESUS THE LORD, as OUR SAVIOR, and THE HOLY SPIRIT, as OUR SPIRITUAL GUIDE; I have to say, that is the most beautiful experience that one person could ever go through in their lives!!!!

Is a feeling of fullfilment, joy, hellation, happyness; but all of this multiply by the biggest number possible!!! Is intense, is extremely serious and is a blessing!!!

At this very moment, you are recieving
THE HOLY SPIRIT, and when you realize that is in you, you will never be the same person again!!!

As you will be a new person, in GOD, by faith, and since that moment, you will be walking by faith!!!

Now, I have to be honest, because of this same new reform to one's life, comes great responsabilities.One get's a totally whole set of THE HIGHER STANDARS, that the light and knowledge which is the gift of being saved will shine on you.

If one doesn't keep walking by faith, one can encounter, a very hard way to live. Because that light will NOT shine on you. Is like looking straight to the sun and then, that sun turnning off, . One won't be able to see.

But if you don't get saved then you will be living in darkness. Where the King of deception( Satan), will disturbe your mind, altering the very nature of oneself.

All experiences in the world, doesn't compare to the one of being SAVED!!! Imagine, GOD, HIMSELF touching your heart, cleaning your mind, and giving you all the tolls with THE HOLY SPIRIT, to follow HIS words, with the purpose to life an ETERNAL LIFE!!!!

Can it get better than that??? I don't think so!!!

Read this, some one sent this to me and I would like to share,
it is so very ture, and if one is intelligent enough to understand then, tha in it self is a blessing!!! Read on.........

When you reach the end of your rope you will find the hem of His garment. I'm not breaking this one.

This is ABSOLUTELY beautiful...

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is. You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this. No way! I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes "8 Second Prayer." Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!

"Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, my finances, and all of my friends, in Jesus' name.

Amen."

Answer 6

It was the best thing it happen to me. All my worries in life was uplifted. Pass, present and future sin was forgiven by ALMIGHTY GOD when HIS only SON DIED on the CROSS for ALL my SIN. Also, knowing that HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT. It was that Promise of ALMIGHTY GOD that HE will always be there. HE said I will NEVER leave you or forsake. Have you read the HOLY BIBLE, read it and see the GLORY OF GOD. Also the beauty of HAVING HIM in you life. If you are afraid of reading the HOLY BIBLE, don't be because the HOLY BIBLE will give your FREEDOM from sin, SALVATION.
Regarding the HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE, have you read the "Foot Prints In the Sand". The man was walking with ALMIGHTY GOD and he asked ALMIGHTY GOD, why there were only one set of foot prints during his difficult days. ALMIGHTY GOD told him that because HE was carrying the man during his difficult times. This is our ALMIGHTY GOD, HE will carry us through the difficult times in our life. HE will not leave us no matter what.

Answer 8

I accepted christ because he is the only ticket to heaven you are holy with him and you should read


john 3:16 in the bible for god so loved the world he gave his only begotten so that so whoever belives in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

also God is our lord and he will save everyone that belives in him. As long as you have jesus you don't need anyone else

Answer 9

If you're only a believer just because you were saved from some life-threatening situation, then shame on you. This is not what God's for.

Answer 10

i replaced into two decades previous and had moved lower back in with my mom. she began observing the seven hundred club earlier she went to artwork, and my mattress room replaced into suitable next to the television. I hated, and that i propose HATED waking as much as listening to those pompous jerks telling all and sundry, "Jesus loves you." I even considered charging out of my room and throwing the television out the window it made me so offended to hearken to that! Then sooner or later I mentioned somewhat prayer, no longer probably awaiting it to be something greater effective than merely speaking to myself. I mentioned, "ok God, while you're genuine, instruct me." For here few days i could no longer provide up questioning that i wanted to assert the sinner's prayer, yet I stubbornly refused to. Then finally I gave in and concept to myself, 'i'm going to bypass forward and say it, then i will instruct that it potential no longer something in any respect.' I mentioned the prayer, and by potential of that afternoon i began out to think of issues in yet differently. For a commence, i ended desiring to argue all of the time, or have each thing my way. i chanced on myself belieiving my existence would have meaning, i'd desire to be chuffed even though if i'm no longer in complete and absolute administration of each thing and all and sundry around me. It nevertheless took approximately 5 years of sorting out or perhaps tempting God yet i ultimately got here to realize that God replaced into fairly the God of the bible, that Jesus replaced into His Son, and my Savior.
