ATMC: ATMC: @ATMC If one so much as simply look at another sexx with lust, in the heart, such has committed sexxual sin. Sexxual sin does not default to only physical penetration. |

ATMC: Are you saying ihedi had looked at a woman lustfully?Sis, I can see you are really determined in this your quest. Why do you want to change this thread from testimonies of salvation to testimonies of sexual escapades? The romance section is only next door. 1 Like |

ATMC: @izukwu, i see you...share your testimony, oya *smiles*baby, i have been a born again many times and backslided many times. Even now am not one but at least am close to to the church but by this time last year , i was like ,be a sinner and sin boldly. My first time or experience of being a born again was when i was in primary four , then in ACM ( anglican children ministry) one of the things i asked God,which he did for me was to start coming top of my class , which he did for me, i started preaching and i really preached young as i was then ., when i entered secondary school and all throught i was at best a nominal christian. My second experience was in my first year at the university. Was squatting with my cousin who was in third year then and was a big boy in his own right and my father asked him to be looking after me,i was like his errand boy alway deliverin letter to his girlfriend in her hostel room, then i was so shy and those ladies used me do yeye. When i will come and deliver my cousins love epistle, they will detain me and asking me silly questions like you don see breast before? You don bleep before etc . I was going towards that line till one sunday i attended one fellowship like that, it was their brother's day. They preached to me ,feed me and i answered alter call and started their follow up class and joined then fully . I didn't give my life fully till our first year and stood to answer alter after our president has made an alter call after preaching ,i feel an electric pass through and i was not the same afterwards. I stopped dropping love epistles for my cousin,stopped buying beer for him and his friends . Why ? They are sins . Begin to carry bible ,then baptism of the holy spirit and the attendant speaking in tongues. I was the prayer sec. Of the fellowship in my 2nd and third year. We made peace house revival labours labours our role model. It was wonderful experience . But family problems arose in my final year, i prayed and fasted and i expected and wanted God to answer today, tomorrow . He kept silent. Had carry overs ,had to come back for an extra year and i avoided brethren because i didn't want to be answering question about you didn't graduate and by the time i cleared my papers , my faith has grown cold. At youth service i was more or less a nominal christian, it was there i began to really backslide, started drinking,going after women and even lost my virginity there. The first my father saw me drink beer was after youth service and he shouted . 2 years in ikom for my first work experience and i was a complete believing unbeliever. I partied, i drank, i womanised,i fu3ked. Now here am i. Seen both sides of life , which is better? How i wish i never backslided,my life would have been very simple. Would like to be a born again, again. but it is not that simple.it is not done by power . Except God draws you by his spirit ,you can only be practicing religion. 1 Like |

Hi! brethren |
Re: How I Got Born-again (Christians Only) by JeSoul(f): 5:26pm On Jan 14, 2013 |
Na wa oh. See query for Ihedinobi lol. Wonderful testimony showing a different path to God. This part: Ihedinobi: This part is another story altogether and I may or may not tell it: beginning from that day, a complete redefinition of Christ began for me. I came to see how I'd been so very wrong about a great many things, like there being an elaborate set of rules by which a true Christian was expected to abide, or there being a dichotomy between the spiritual life and the material and a great deal more. I like. I think for christians there are several 'turning points' in our walk with God that we can point to as key moments that enhanced the 'working out of our salvation'. I'm so glad that God is so merciful...imagine how many of us get things so wrong all the time but His love remains unconditional. God be praised. |

"...so who will like to become a christian?" asked the sunday school teacher of his sermonized class of 2 or 3 shy of a dozen years Sure. So I prayed the prayer completely unaware the magnitude of the action the who, what or where much like the wind I couldn't tell where it came from but it was instant in connection firm in conviction you may know it as the Holy Spirit gentle in persuation What can only be described as a divine obligation to be, do, act, think and live right was upon me with all the power & might of a lowly tw-eenager And so the voice began to speak to me frequently it shaped my mind, my personality guiding me away from youthful indiscretions I simply had no interest I was a strange kid, I think popularity contests, I would still win But oh so potent the presence of God and the wisdom it brings I. knew. many things I just knew. with a knack for being eerily cool insufficient answers to biblical questions? no big deal I knew of my sin, hypocrisy & human beings their shortcomings to me, was never attributed to the Heavenly never took it personally na all of una sabi cos my faith was like an isolated island audienced to supernatural events far out of the ear-reach the songs of a confusing world and serenade it has, all life long carry on world, carry on. I must have been a strange child who wanted to be an astronaut-doctor-president-athlete-musician-scientist I am the latt, latte & latter that's athlete, musician & scientist, in case you didn't get it my father taught me to dream big my Father taught me to dream bigger I don't have all the answers but I press hard and search easy I still know deep within me as my imperfections remind me daily my need to die daily Fallen more than just seven times I fall so short even humpty dumpty would blush but by His grace, we press on in the Lab, I search on truth is fluid - much like science what is good for the geese today is bad for the gander tomorrow philosophies built on sand a little rain, a little shine, and gone, gone, gawn. truth is like a moving target, just when you think you got it... carefully reconsider Boston's on my feet x-files on my screen Tilapia stew for dinner with the world's best husband I'm random Concert next weekend, the tv show next month but favorite pasttime is couch & surf with a glass of my badaze margarita Super-duper power-ranger christians, I have never spoken in tongues oh never 'fallen under the anointing' haven't cast out a thousand & one demons and I don't tithe anymore but I am possessed with irrational love for any believer who names the name that is above every name Jesus, for those unfamiliar or by choiced decoversion It is well. Of His children, all are precious If the caged bird can still sing then there's hope for the cornered cockroach Impossible is just the beginning of His reign there will be no ending and I end with this of which is the quality of your life philosophy? Stretches a mile wide full of unanswered questions but is only an inch deep or Stretches a inch wide, but is a mile deep deep enough to love your neighbor, as deep as you love yourself. 2 Corinthians 5:15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 4 Likes |

ifeness: I am confused because the church of England have recently allowed gay priests and bishops into the church. Is that ok with you born-agains? It is part of tolerance preached by jesus i suppose. Would you attend the church of a gay pastor? I believe the missionaries came from England.there are always bad eggs in d society but if u alredy kno d truth y pay dem heed? Besides missionaries dd nt onli com from england |

@JeSoul: wow.... Greatest testimony I've ever read or heard... |
Re: How I Got Born-again (Christians Only) by Nobody: 7:43pm On Jan 14, 2013 |
JeSoul, darling sister, lovely!!! And yeah, you hit it. There's so much that we learn in the walk. Every child grows, in stature and in intellect as well as ability. No different with children of the New Birth. While so many of us are hung up on sins and being rid of failures, all Jesus Christ asks is that we look to Him. As we behold Him, not our sins, weaknesses, failings etc, we are changed into the same image, as the Scriptures say, from glory to ever-increasing glory. |

Which is all the more reason for us to love & be patient with people around us, knowing that same love and patience was once (and still is) extended to us daily. Perhaps on another avenue you'll share some of that story... musKeeto: @JeSoul: wow....You're always too kind 'Skeeto, tanka tanka! |
