**ONE COMMENTFIRST THIS IS NO WAY INTENDED TO DEMEANOR ANY OTHER RELIGION IN ANY WAY: PLEASE DONT THINK THAT. THIS IS JUST WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY SPIRITUAL JOURNEE. Darkness has engulfed my heart, yet the beaming lights shine threw from time to time. A woman, an angel in some way, whispers to me of how great being in the lord is. I confess that I am but a lost sheep, once grazing the pastures of the light. I have been to the Jordan River; the blood of Christ has cleansed me. I look at her intently and gently ask her, “ have you bathed in the Holy Spirit?” She turns a strawberry pink in the rounds of her cheeks, and replies “ Yes, I have when I was just a babe I was sprinkled with the water of the saint.” I question this “ A babe? Doesn’t the bible say you should be submerged in holy water?” She looked at me with concerned eyes; She looked at me and said “This is what I have grown up on if I change my beliefs now, my family will shurly disown me.” I look at her in disbelief but before I get in another word she tells me in strong voice, “ My beliefs may be different but I have accepted the holy spirit the way I have, I am saved.” Tears well up in my eyes, she looks at me and slowly fades away. I pray to my savior, a task so long forgotten and ignored, I pray that I will some how help her see the light threw him. I tell my self she will be with me at the golden gates that never open outward, I will have her with me for eternity. ~~~Gaurdurthoughts~~~ |

This is cool. Usually I don't like very long line, however, this one it didn't bother me at all. Didn't the bible said, when one baptize with the holy spirit, she/he would speak in tongue? I don't feel I've the tongue, though I've ask holy spirit to be with me. I don't feel the closest in praying, yet I know He is the Lord. Kinda confusing. I don't know whether I'm saved or not.

Yes we all have our ways of joining our lives with God. I too was baptised by being immersed in water but am now in a congregation whose members bring their babies to be offered to God by a sprinkle of water as they are baptised. This is a beautiful gesture. Later they are confirmed after they have studied and know their hearts. I firmly believe that God is an all encompassing God and will accept us by any ritual if we give our hearts to him. Love and welome to you. Joyce |
