This is a great testimony. I was an agnostic even after being born into a Christian family. I thought my parents were uneducated, small town farmers who were naive. This happened after my EDUCATION at a great university. One night I went to a small church. The young preacher, wearing blue jeans, asked everyone who wanted to be filled with the Holy Spirit to come up to be prayed for. When the preacher prayed for me, I fell onto the floor. Jesus appeared above me and told me he had a work for me to do. For a week I could not be still. I sang and praised God everytime I opened my mouth! I could not finish my classes, because I could not sit still in class. I somehow I passed my tests without taking the finals or attending the last weeks of classes. There are many deceiving spirits out there. Ask for it , and you will find the TRUTH for yourself.

I talked with a friend tonight, she and I are both pretty depressed and sad because we see things entirely rationally and we see the motives behind everyone's action and feel like there's no way not to be lonely, even surrounded by people. I then watched videos about religion and eventually I ended up with a bible in my hand, read two pages of it then I stopped and started praying. I asked god to let me feel his love and show me something so that I can believe, that I want to but can't seem to find faith. It was now 3AM so I went to the bathroom to prepare for sleep, then I felt chills all over my body and couldn't resist an urge to smile, and I felt good and light an tears came up to my eyes. I will not pretend I will never sin again I think it's impossible, but I will try to live better now and will let god near me, I don't see it as a weakness anymore.

Hey Brian, good question. This is how Christianity is different than all other religions. The other religions say "you must strive and strive, do good works, obey, be a good (fill in the blank with any religious adherent) and Maybe you reach paradise. No guarantees in exchange for all your blood, sweat, and tears. Christ says stop, give up, stop striving, and surrender. There is no way you or I could ever hope to be a good enough person to earn heaven. Rest in my forgiveness and receive the free gift of eternal life. Let my life come in you and make you whole, stop striving for it. And then we as Christians live a life of good works, not to earn heaven, but because of thankfulness we already have it.

I was just as cocky and arrogant as you for the first 30 years of my life. Then I decided to put it to rest once and for all by disproving it. IT'S REAL--You'll probably laugh this off, but at least put it into the back of your mind. The generation that witnessed Israel reborn as a nation is the terminal one before Christ returns and that happened in 1948. When what's described in the book of Revelation starts happening as written, maybe you'll take the time then to seek. By the way, Jesus fulfilled 300 prophecies regarding the messiah from the Old Testament. Any one person fulfilling just 8 of those prophecies is a billion to one. Go read Josephus's account of Jesus too.

I sounds like a great deal so why doesn't everyone jump on board, simple unbelief! In the same way the people didn't see a need to get on the the ark the same is true today people don't believe in judgement of god. The ark made no sense to them without faith in the words of noah.

So unless our spirit is stronger than our flesh, we will give in to those negative thoughts and again begin to sin! Do this long enough and we can backslide completely!

I called my pastor and related my experience.Fast forward, six months later after weekly sessions with my pastor I realized I just didn't get it.I don't know why or what else I could havd done.My heart was completely open.I wanted very much to know God. I was desperate,I had spent basically all of my life in church.I did not want to loose that connection.All of my family's activities were centered around the church.Time passed and I continued attending church.Then one Sunday we were having Communion.I could not go down it would be a lie, to myself, my friends and the church.I do not attend church any more,I miss it, but what I am missing is the friendship and comfort of the church.Either I can confess my faith in Christ or not.At this point I can not do that.I will not lie about my faith or lack there of.

rick padgett Would you tell me what is the denomination of your church? Also, have you been attending that same church all these years? How old were you when you first started attending church? You do realize that you take your salvation based on faith, right? Faith that you have done what the Bible says you need to believe and commit to, in order to become spiritually reborn (Born Again). So the Bible cannot lie, right? So if you believe those things you are told to believe, in the Bible, and you have committed your life to Jesus as the Bible tells us to, then since the Bible cannot lie, then you ARE spiritually reborn, whether you "feel" it or not! It's satan that has been trying his best, over the years to keep you from "feeling" it! Is there any kind of repetitive sin in your life that you can't get rid of? If so, this could be what is giving satan permission to continue to clog your spiritual connection with God. Also do you confess your sins, and ask for forgiveness each and every time you realize you have sinned, over all these years? Do you read the Bible for yourself (or listen to an audio version of the Bible) daily? If not, then your spirit is weak and your flesh is really in control of you and not your spirit and thus not God, because God works through our spirits and NOT through our minds (feelings and emotions)! Reading the Bible daily is how we keep our spirit stronger than our flesh, and also by praying regularly, and confessing our sins regularly! Doing these things regularly is how we keep our communication channel to God from becoming clogged up!

joel10000a I went to church as a baby {we were Baptist} and attended until I was 20 or so years old.Then college,military, marriage and children.When I had children we started to attend the Methods church.We were members there for about 20+s years.I understand that you take your salvation on faith.I listened to your video again and you have two specific times where you say you felt the presence of God.At the church when you were stepping out of the door and then when you felt your sins being washed away.This type of experience is what I must have.To have faith in God or the Bible I have to have something to base it on.God has to be real in my life. I can't just say I believe without some type of conviction or awareness.There are no sins that I am hiding.If God is who he says he is there is no way to hide anything from him. After I realized I had no testimonial, I went to my pastor.I expect we went through the same things you and your pastor did.After about six months we were both disappointed.We are very good friends and we both had prayed desperately for my salvation. That moment you had when you prayed for forgiveness and your heart was set free, that is what I need.I have prayed the prayer of forgiveness several times alone and with my pastor.I was DESPERATE to have God come into my heart.I have never experienced any awareness of God.It has to be real for me and I will become a disciple of God.For you the experience was real, you felt a change in your spirit.That's all I need. I have faith in my wife our children and a few very close friends because I know they love and care about me and my welfare.Again "IT" just has to be real for me.I want to be able to witness to someone and tell them I know God is real because I have him in my heart.I want exactly what you have.

rick padgett You say "Methods" Church. Do you mean "Methodist"? I have never heard of a "Methods" Church. You say you "were" there for 20+ years, so does that mean that you are not attending any church now, or do you mean you are now attending a different church? I am not the guy in the video. All of my postings are video clips from two Christian TV programs - The 700 Club, and 700 Club interactive. Do you ever watch them? What you are saying is like a "doubting Thomas". This is what Jesus said about that kind of behavior! John 20:24-29 24 One of the disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. 25 They told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he replied, "I won't believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side." 26 Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. "Peace be with you," he said. 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don't be faithless any longer. Believe!" 28 "My Lord and my God!" Thomas exclaimed. 29 Then Jesus told him, "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me." NLT God IS in your heart, if you prayed the Prayer of Salvation, and you meant it with all your heart!! Here it is again, so please pray it now to make many times sure that you are truly Born Again! The Prayer of Salvation: Just read it over a time or two (silently) so you know what it says, and then read it OUT LOUD, and mean what you are saying with all your heart, and you will instantly become Born Again!! You will be making the proper confessions of your belief, and the necessary commitments to Jesus and the Kingdom of God, which the Bible tells us will get us Born Again! Dear Heavenly Father, I am ready to surrender my life to Jesus Christ. I cannot go on any longer trying to live my life for myself. I am ready to give my heart and life to Christ and surrender everything to Him and allow Him to lead me! I believe with all my heart that Jesus is your Son, the Son of God, and that he died for the forgiveness of my sins on the cross, and that he arose from the dead on the third day, to give me eternal life in heaven with You, and he is alive right now along with You and the Holy Spirit. I believe that Jesus and You, Father, and the Holy Spirit, are ONE God, and that each of you is God. I confess that I am a sinner, and I'm truly sorry for all of my sins, I repent of all my sins and I am totally WILLING to turn away from all my sins, and I ask that You wash them away with the precious Blood of Jesus, and help me to change to your ways of doing things. I invite Jesus to come into my heart right now and save me! I promise to live for Jesus all the remaining days of my life. I believe I receive eternal life right now, and that my spirit has been reborn anew and is alive right now within me and in Christ! Father, I welcome You, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit into my spirit and my life right now! Thank you, for saving me and making me in right standing with you. Thank you for writing my name in the Lambs Book of Life! In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Just imagine if Hitler said that prayer. Just imagine. Just imagine the bad people that would be in "heaven" with you. Now imagine all the good people in the human history that didn't belive in your particular god or in any god at all. All of those would be in hell. Hell, a space created by you god to send people that your god already knew they would end there (because he knows everything). Now, in christian view, Hitler is not all that bad compared to Yaweh is he? Christianity and its ludicrous morality.

romario reid I've stated a fact. Atheists dont claim there is no free will nor everything is an ilusion. Atheists don't believe in god or gods. You'll find atheists that believe in free will others that don't. About ilusions, you're the ones who believe in heaven, hell, talking snakes and donkeys, noah's flood, cohexisting with dinassours, burning bushes, etc. If you provide evidence of any of those things, I'll be pleased. I'm not wasting my time. I was a believer for over 26 years. And I'm gratefull to those who made me see where I was and question my beliefs. You may not like that, but maybe someone will. You failed to adress the morality on my first post. Hitler can be in heaven (according to your religion). BTW, this is youtube. I can comment wherever I want. There's no "believers section". There is free speech. If you can't handle it, you can ignore it.

Mathew 24:10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other. About hitler.. 26 Years in the faith and you learned nothing? John 16:2-3 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me. Right there it tells you that such a person does not know the Father or Jesus so they cannot be saved. Mathew 12:30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. You clearly do not know that stephen hawkings and many others who I will not mention stated that there is no free will, yet you say atheists don't claim that.. I suggest you go and read up on atheism because many have stated it as a fact and that reality is an illusion. Coexisting with dinosaurs was never mentioned in the bible and in fact I will admit that some modern day "christians"(some of them don't even deserve to be called that) jump on certain bandwagons because they cannot disprove the existence of dinosaurs say that they were in the ark as well, which is rubbish. Just as how some "Christians" say that God used evolution to make humans and other living creatures is absurd, they need to go to bible school. They do this because as I said before they cannot disprove certain things so they simply say God made it happen to make it seem like they know when clearly they know nothing. You should not even have brought that dinosaur part up if you were a "believer" as you claim and read the bible you would see that there is no mention of such dinosaurs so how can you use that in your arguement. Because certain laws of logic and other man made laws are broken you say that these things cannot exist. Of course I cannot prove that there was a Burning Bush because I was not there to witness it the same can be said about the creation theory and the Big Bang which some scientist believe that something came from nothing while others say that the universe always existed,while some state that the universe was created with "fine tuning" or pin-point accuracy and that it was just an accident that everything was created the way it is not from the Omnipresent God that we Christians know. A Kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. I will not nor can I force you to accept certain things everyone has a brain. If I insulted you and your beliefs I sincerely apologize and thank you for keeping it civilised I have talked to atheists and most of them insult me, curse etc so I applaud you for that. I am not interested in a prolonged debate like I see in the comments section of such videos so lets not "fight to the death" and leave it short because I am going through something right now and will not always have access to the computer. You have your beliefs I have mine. I hope you,your family and your friends have a wonderful life.

Brian Ordonez Hey Brian, good question. This is how Christianity is different than all other religions. The other religions say "you must strive and strive, do good works, obey, be a good (fill in the blank with any religious adherent) and Maybe you reach paradise. No guarantees in exchange for all your blood, sweat, and tears. Christ says " stop, give up, stop striving, and surrender. There is no way you or I could ever hope to be a good enough person to earn heaven. Rest in my forgiveness and receive the free gift of eternal life. Let my life come in you and make you whole, stop striving for it." And then we as Christians live a life of good works, not to earn heaven, but because of thankfulness we already have it. I hope that helps. We as Christians don't arrogantly proclaim from the mountaintop of having the superior religion. We instead humbly bow and thank God he forgave us. There is nothing special about us and everything special about Christ.

There are some similarities based on that, but a stark difference. There is nothing that originates from me or is a part of me that is able to achieve this higher self. It is not birthed from my essence but rather a separate entity, God the son, coming into my spirit via invitation and renewing me. To the extent that I yield to His Gentle spirit and refuse my fleshly desires, I become more like Christ. Not more like a higher righteous version of self. You seem like an authentic seeker, and one seeking for authenticity. That's good. You may enjoy reading the historical, bibliographic, and archeological evidence authenticating what scripture says. Matters of where the Israelites were, extra-biblical texts supporting people places and things mentioned in the bible, the different kingdoms (Assyrians, Babylonians, Medo-Persian, Macedonian) mentioned in scripture before they appeared on the scene. You don't commit intellectual suicide believing the bible.

Just pray single minded and pray with a full heart, do not let the evil around make you have any doubt. God is very real and those who do not believe have not seeked him ever or have ever read the bible. Ask him for strength and wisdom of his word. He will not deny you all you have to do is put in your part and he will begin revealing himself to you, he sees the effort trust me. I have been witnesses a lot of surreal things from him its been amazing and im here to tell you that im no better than you. Just take him serious and let him lead your life. give up the self-directed life and start having more faith in the doors he opens and closes. Gods plan is what brings true harmony in our lives in the end.

To be a male is by birth, and to be a man is matter of choice, no matter WHAT do I can NEVER change the fact that I am a male. likewise, to be a Christian You must be born again.

(2) CONTINUATION: LA TRADUCTION FRANCAISE:6) Après quelques semaines que j'ai prié cette prière, j'ai eu très mal à l'épaule. Pendant ma pause, j'étais curieux de savoir ce que les Chrétiens font à l'église. Je suis entré l'église...le pasteur a prêché son message. Je ne me suis pas souvenu ce qu'il a dit mais j'ai décidé que j'en ai assez entendu et que j'avais besoin de partir. J'ai littéralement eu un pied juste dehors de la porte, et je me suis senti un grand mouvement de frissons dans ma poitrine jusqu'à la gorge et quelque chose qui a saisi ma gorge. J'étais comme paralysé partout là et j'ai attendu pendant quelques secondes. J'ai fermé la porte et marché vers le pasteur et je me suis présenté: ''Alors, tu crois en Dieu?'', et il m'a regardé, ''Oui''. ''Alors comment ça marche?'', ''Bon, on peut en parler plus''.7) Il m'a amené à son bureau et nous avons commencé à parler. Le pasteur était clairement intelligent et il savait ce qu'il en parle. Il croit que Dieu existe et que Jésus était ressuscité de la mort et moi, je ne pouvais pas le comprendre. Après ça, on se rencontre pendant quelques moi et je lui ai posé beaucoup de questions et il les ai patiemment répondues. Ma prière comme un non-croyant commençait à changer un peu comme: ''D'accord Dieu, si Tu es ici maintenant, cela commence à faire du sens pour moi...Tu dois révéler plus de Toi-même pour que je me sente plus confortable d'avoir la confiance en Toi et que je ne devienne pas un fou. 8)Il a fait vivante ma conscience. J'ai trompé cette fille plusieurs fois et plus en plus ça commence augmenter et je sais que c'était très mal à faire. Et un jour, j'étais dans mon appartement penser à tout ce que j'ai fait. Les pensées ne me quittaient pas et j'avais mal physiquement à cause de la culpabilité que je me sentais. 9) L'Evangile m'a finalement fait du sens et j'ai réalisé que voici la raison pourquoi Jésus est mort sur la croix. C'était vraiment personnelle, Il est mort pour payer mes péchés. J'ai crié à Dieu: ''Voilà, c'est ça! Je le comprends! Je le veux!'' Mon cœur a instamment été fait libre et toute la culpabilité m'a quitté.
