Baybe: I was saved from birth

Mintayo:
my lady,salvation is a decision you have to make,and you can't make such decision from birth!

36STATES: "After listening to the powerful sermon delivered by the General Overseer- Pastor Moses Rahaman Popoola" unquote. Why are 90% of these self appointed General Overseers from a certain part of southern Nigeria? You can as well argue that most of our motor parts dealers are from a certain state in south east. How is it possible that christian god is always biased in choosing GOs from that region of Nigeria? Are they known for their honesty, bravery, hardwork reliablity etc, which are virtues in every religion?

These new thieving pentecostal churches and their pastors should be restricted along with other muslim extreemist group because they're simply up to no good. They're damaging what is left of sanity in this country with their mass deception and corruption of the people and environment.

haibe:

Is pastor moses rahamon popoola from south east nigeria?

36STATES: Don't you know where 99% of our jet set theiving pastors in Nigeria come from.

haibe:

I don't know, who are the jet set thieving pastors?

Mintayo:

oh,quivah!

salt 1:
I don't care a hoot what people make of my beliefs because I had an experience which settled all such issues.
I read the Bible and I compared it with scientific evolution. I was thoroughly confused and decided to either validate my belief in God or jettison it as a fake. I tried praying! I called on God and begged Him if He's real to give me an experience that I will never doubt if He really is. The cry was from my innermost being. In an INSTANT, I felt a heavy weight off me! I felt happy! I felt peaceful! That settled all doubts I ever had.
That experience repeats whenever I pray. So I don't believe for anybody's sake
God is real to me![

I was expecting to read how handsome peaceful god looked after he appeared to you physically.. .

quivah: hmmmm!
My brethren! My salvation story was just so great.

March 2012.
I went to a church program with some of my friends..the sermon was cool tho it wasn't about salvation..we treated a verse in 1st kings or so..
After the sermon, the pastor dropped some prayer points.. majorly on "household enemies"..menh! I pray sotey in a very loud voice cause those beside me where praying as if them wan drag heaven down!!

"If you know you are not born again,raise up ya hand and step forward" the pastor said
"Other brethren please close your eyes" he added..
I go to church always so its not like I was new in the system but I just went out that day cause I was yet to have my water baptism.

I stepped forward with some other people and one after the other he prayed for us..spoke in tongue..blew air straight on our fore heads and push the head(people without stamina fell sha but you know? It was holy ghost baptism,while others staggered and a few dint shake,,i was one of them)
The man asked those who fell to return back to their seats as the H G don fall on them..
The pastor resumed praying for the rest of us..telling us to speak in tongue that the H G is here..
He kept shouting,some started speaking glibberish[i guess they were fed up]while like three of us dint
We went back to our seats after the pastor said he would attend to us later shoooo!..

I wondered,na so I stubborn reach?!..
I have never spoke in tongue,heard from god nor saw a vision even tho I prayed and fasted over them!!.

I resolved into believing what I believe now..

I got saved into atheism

Lool!!
I know whats good,and I do them..

m-ployer:
Salvation is more dan a decission, it is a miracle

quivah:

I resolved into believing what I believe now..

I got saved into atheism

Lool!!

haibe: I was born a muslim, i never got to know much about christianity except that it was just another religion in the country, i usually saw it as another way God wants us to worship him, infact i tot all the religions on earth were from God and that God wanted us to worship him in different ways, so i did not see any reason why i should become a christian even though a lot of my friends preached to me while in secondary school.

I began to wonder why christians where so concerned about non-christians accepting Jesus into their lives, i was like aren't we worshipping the same God? Why do i have to worship God in the christian way?, i also noticed some events wherby muslims in the north persecuted the christians over there to leave their faith and turn to islam, i wondered why they were doing this, i mean since its one God we are all serving why then are they forcing those christians to become muslims.

I thought about this for months and then decide to know the root of all the religion issues of wanting other people to be converted, i then began to study my quran very well(in english now) because i only knew how to recite in arabic, we were to recite it in prayers and so one has to memorize them, also there is qualification for someone who has read the quran finish, it was like a school, after memorizing the quran finish, there is usually a form of graduation called "wolima", so my parents made me read the quran, i was able to recite some already, i recited in arabic even though i never knew the meaning of what i was reciting, i was so happy that at least i have fulfilled a tradition, all this are by the way.

So after i desired to know more about my religion, i got an english quran and started reading it and got to understand what i had been reading in arabic for years, i read to a point and then decide to start reading the bible too, i read the bible randomly and noticed how both the quran and bible contradicted themselves so much, my quran told me alllah(God as i tot) has no son but the bible says God does have a son, and so many other contraditions, i did not fret much until i got to some verses of the quran where the writer said unbelievers(christian and jews) will go to hell, this was when my journey started.

After doing lots of research, i found out the God of the bible is different from alah, i then grew interest in reading the bible, i read till i got convicted that Jesus really died for my sins and that through Jesus in me i can live that holiness of life which i have longed to live, i had always wanted to do the right thing always while a muslim but i couldn't, i fell into sin always(i didn't understand why), i read about Jesus and believed in him but still i did not want to accept him as my lord and saviour because of the fear of my parents, so i pretended nothing happened, i continued living as a muslim.

I got admitted into the university in the year 2010, i was happy because i heard a lot about the university as a place where you are free, you see lots of beautiful girls and can do whatever you like, i started living the life which i loved then, drinking , partied once in a while, etc, i saw all this as enjoyment, it was about 2 months into the semester when i realised one of my roommate did not live like us(i and my other roommates), he was always reading his bible, praying and all that, i wasn't interested, i continued living my life until this day he preached to me and then the memories of me wanting to accept christ earlier came, i hated his preaching because i knew i would stop sinning if i accepted christ and so i didn't listen much to him, one faithful day he invited me to his church, i attended and whoa!! I experienced what seems impossible that day, it was the first time ever that i would ever feel my creator's presence, i experienced joy and peace, i felt so remorseful and sorrowful of my sin, i accepted christ as my lord and saviour, i prayed earnestly and was filled with the holy ghost, it was strange but i knew i was a changed person from that day on, i lived a completely different live from that which i lived before, i became a new creature, i became born-again, i never wanted to lie, steal, lust, fornicate(i never fornicated though), backbite, masturbate again, i just fell in love with Jesus and loved to read the bible, i faced queries from my muslim friend, they tried to prove to me the bible is corrupt and that allah is the true God but mba No, i refused because my greatest desire to be a new(holy) person had come to pass, something has changed, a burden has been lifted, i refused to turn back.

A muslim friend of mine in school called my parents and told them about the new advancement of my faith, that i now go to church and all that, i got persecuted by my muslim friends, my parents and co, but to cut the long story short, i overcame by the grace of God and here am i standing today by the mercies of God, nothing as sweet as experiencing salvation, thank you Jesus for saving me, thank you for delivering me from sin and its consequence, thank you for giving me hope, thank you for forgiving my sins, i will forever love you Jesus.

PS: I got saved march 2011, i am about two and a half year old in the christian faith now and till today i thank God for still keeping me a christian.

scaler345: My experience is unique! I was shagging a bimbo in a dump about 2am. Next thing, I saw a flashlight, I heard a voice then a thunder cracked. I couldn't really make out what the voice was saying, but it sounded like Hebrew language. Since then, my life has never been more interesting! Shalom.
