obadiah777: MAKE I DROP STORY TOO O JARE grin . WELL ME MYSELF I HAVE DRIFTED IN AND OUT OF CHRISTIANITY THE RELIGION SINCE I WAS BROUGHT FROM ENGLAND TO A BOARDING SCHOOL IN NAIJA. IN THE BOARDING SCHOOL I GOT INTRODUCED TO DEEPER LIFE. HOWEVER IT DID NOT STICK. I JUST DID IT CUZ OF FEAR OF HELL FIRE. DRIFTED OUT OF IT. WENT TO CHURCH A FEW TIMES WITH THE FAMILY. THEN LEFT NAIJA AND THAT WAS THE END OF RELIGION FOR A LONG TIME. SO FOR ME I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON WHY THE WORLD WWAS TILTED TOWARDS THE CAUCASIANS AND AWAY FROM BLACK FOLK. THERE HAS TO BE SOME SPIRITUAL REASON BEHIND IT. WAS THE BLACK MAN CREATED INFERIOR AND THE WHITE MAN SUPERIOR ? WHY DO THEY HAVE ALL THE WEALTH AND WE ARE SUFFERING ? WHY IS IT THAT WHEN I GO TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE GET PAST IMMIGRATION WITHOUT ANY FUSS BUT AS SOON AS THE BLACK MAN SHOWS UP, NA WAHALA. QUESTION UPON QUESTION. SEARCH UPON SEARCH. SO I DABBLED IN THE BLACK POWER MOVEMENT AND THEN FROM BEING IN THE CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY I RAN INTO REAL PROPHETS OF THE LORD WHO ACTUALLY SPOKE HEBREW AND GREEK. AND THEN UNDER THEIR TUTELAGE I LEARNT WHAT THE BIBLE IS REALLY ABOUT. HOW TO STUDY IT. I LEARNT THE DEUTERONOMY CURSES. AND THATS WHEN I KNEW THE LORD HAD PUT ME IN THE TRUTH. WITH CHRISTIANITY ITS LIKE READING A STORY BOOK WHEN YOU READ THE BIBLE. IT DOES NOT JUXTAPOSE AND ALIGN WITH THE REAL WORLD. HOWEVER IN THE TRUTH, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE WORLD IN THE BIBLE BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS WRITTEN ABOUT THE WORLD. IF YOU CANT SEE THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN IN THE BIBLE, THEN YOU ARE NOT READING IT CORRECTLY. YOU HAVE TO SEE THE WORLD HISTORY IN IT. AND WHY THE WORLD IS THE WAY IT IS. AND THE BIBLICAL NAMES OF THE PEOPLE YOU SEE IN THE WORLD TODAY. ONCE I GOT ALL THAT KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING, I BECAME HOOKED. AND NOW I AM INSEPARABLE FROM THAT KJV. AND THATS HOW I GOT IN THE TRUTH. wink

@frosbel,
Your testimony is good but let me mention that presently in Apostolic Faith church, seeking for medical attention is no more viewed in bad light as it was in those days. Yet divine healing teachings are still being preached but this time around not using medical attention as benchmark to measure who has faith and who has not. Wherever you are worshiping, just keep close to Jesus all the way till you reach heaven. Amen. Thanks dear.

Thanks.

I still hold apostolic faith very dear to my heart as I got born again there, in fact I read the light of hope when possible and visit their web site for devotions. I have no problems attending their special services etc.

No matter what views I hold , the most important thing is that no man will see God without holiness , we are all striving unto perfection and to avoid sin by the grace of God , while teaching others the same.

Ah , lest I forget, they never harassed us for money, no screaming for money, just pay your tithes and offerings at the back , but no one watched or kept track of who or who did not pay.

Thanks,

All true Christian ministries should always point to Christ , not back to them , their church or their leaders special anointing.

Very Sorry to crash-end this party, we are all enjoying it BTW. But with the way things are going, logicboy would soon share his testimony of how he also saw the light, and whatever nonsense again. My point is are we truly born again, saved by grace. What are we saved from? ARE WE SAVED FROM SIN? Because that is the first promise in the new covenant, that He will save us from sin. Are we still under the claws and jaws of sin and satan? If any man be in Christ, if any man be born again, he is under grace. He is not expected to still be operating under the law of sin and death, but under grace.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.


Sin shall not have dominion BECAUSE you are under grace. This is the purpose of the new testament. In the old testament, they also had forgiveness of sins, so being born again is not just about forgiveness of sins. Its not primarily about healing either.
Psa 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Psa 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;


i know we all have our different theologies, and i respect that, especially when we are not forcing it into others on a public forum like here. But theology doesn't save anybody. It doesn't make anyone born again. Being born again is the core of the new covenant. It is the grace and truth that came through Jesus Christ. That we should live a godly life in this present world.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;


Sin shall not have dominion over you because you are not under the law but under grace. The question to be asked each person is are you under the law or under grace. If sin still has dominion over you, you are under the law. And vice versa. i don't intend to go on in a sermon, but please. Bother to ask yourself this pertinent question, am i under the law or under grace? Does sin still have dominion over me?

Ishilove: I continued in the way of the path because I felt there was no other options for me to choose from.

Life, in the meantime was tough. I was buffeted by trials, challenges and temptations. Eventually, I realised that the path wasn't giving me the answers I sought. I just didn't understand it anymore. I was only going through the motions because I was born into it, not because of any great revelation like my mother had had. The last time I was at our centre in 2003, I knelt down before our leader and vowed to him that I would never leave the religion. Our leader had simply looked into my soul, smiled gently and said, "You will".

And leave I did.

I started attending church because I had nowhere to turn to. There is this particular church programme I attended which hosted by a very popular church in Ijesa. I stood for 6hrs straight because there was no place to sit down. When I got home, I wondered where the heck I got the energy from, but I still wasn't satisfied or fulfilled. One night, after a gangster three hour prayer session alone, I sat down on my bed and started weeping. I was so frustrated, tired of the challenges and temptations and was just plain fed up with life. Suddenly, in the midst of my tears, I heard the sweetest,calmest, quiet and the most beautiful voice in the creation. The voice said to me,

"Why are you crying, my child? Fear not, I am with you...".

My tears dried instantly. I looked round the room to ensure I was alone. I was.

"Lord, is that you?", I asked. No answer. However, deep down in my heart I knew that I had heard the voice of God for the first time in my life.

I felt like ice water had been poured on my soul. Days later, I was idly leafing through the bible (I hadn't yet learnt to read the bible) when I stumbled on the words I had heard in my spirit. That strenghtened my conviction and that same week, I answered an altar call in church and gave my life to Christ.

It hasn't been a journey with its challenges, but daily I beg for the grace to keep growing in the Lord in my walk with him.
Beautiful. Unusual but beautiful

As undeniably important as the comment you made is,it truly can ruin a beautiful thing. Lets just learn what we may from the testimonies and drop nuggets of wisdom much later or we'd rue our loss at what would have been a beautiful and civilized thread
