…presence of many of my classmates. My shame had been rolled away. Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs. Isaiah 61:7 In November 1995, I witnessed the Lord through water baptism. As I came up out of the water, the pastor who baptized me spoke over me saying that…
…and that is where I was first exposed to Christianity. I went to church with her a few times and even witnessed her baptism. Despite the fact that I did like the church I refused at the time to be baptized for some reason. Joy was twenty-two and I was sixteen. She had met a man who was much older than her who preyed on her and ended up being a very abusive person in the long run, causing her…
…since my baptism, I was free. Home at last Through a program called the Advantage Program, I was able to go home from the nursing home. I had been given a lap-top computer with a speech program designed to talk for me, but that’s not what I used it for. I had a Bible program I ran on it. Dying to self I was reading the Bible one day, and a passage in Hosea jumped out at me. My people…
…to show us that He is the One to turn to. So, there with Pastor Jim Nicholson and God, I gave my life to Christ. In prayer I asked Jesus to come into my heart and save me. Oh, I lost the job that I had, but God had a better idea. Soon after that, at home, my wife, Joy, and I received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and a new prayer language. I realize now that in all…
…Lord! I preached the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ unto them! They had many questions so we talked about Jesus, faith, baptism, righteousness, etc. After a while, one of the Catholic volunteers said almost the same thing that Keith said, “I don’t like to see you in jail, but I praise God that you were arrested so we could meet you.” Praise God for this effectual door that was opened to preach the gospel to all the prisoners and also…
Question from a Site Viewer Christians are hypocrites. The Bible is true, yes. But Christians (in general) are hypocrites. I’ve searched and searched and it seems to me that all the religious establishment churches (Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist, Pentecostal) are apostate, hypocritical, deeply ignorant, and involved in all sorts of false teachings and activities. So I settled on self-baptism. I cannot attend a hypocritical church. I spend much of my time alone, in study of the Scriptures and in prayer…
Question from a Site Viewer I have been seeing Mormon Missionaries and was set to be baptized but something stopped me. I had this feeling that I couldn’t ignore and I didn’t go through with the baptism. I can’t describe the feeling but it was really strong. And I began to do my own resarch about the Mormon church and was shocked about the things Joseph Smith did. He’s just a con artist. The reason I got involved with the…
…at least be in lodge.” He nodded his head, and smiled. On another such occasion, he asked me, “What does the Second Section of the Master Mason Degree mean to you?” I said, “You know what? I’ve been thinking about that lately, and all that comes to my mind is death, burial, and resurrection, just like baptism in the church.” Once again, he nodded and smiled. Then one day I fell to my knees alongside my bed and cried out…
…home in heaven. You speak of a generational curse. When your generation goes back through Jesus, you need worry nothing about a generational curse. Jesus is our Father; we are His children. This is the great picture of baptism. We have died to what we were and we are now risen in newness of life (Romans 6:3-11). We have a new birth (John 3). Paul tells us that we have died that we might be freed from the control of…
