Declaring veracities at every bend
It was 2 years ago yesterday. I was 12 at the time, and I'd had a terrible day. My college friend dropped by for a visit, and told me all about God, and I've been saved ever since.

I had always believed in God ever since I heard of who He is. I started going to a youth group in 1992 and was even baptized in may 1993......zip through a less than Godly lifestyle over the next 7 years and actually thinking I was saved because I was baptized.....my dad died of a stroke August 25, 2000 after being in a coma two days. I had attended the Baptist church in the town I was living in a couple times about 18 months before that at the invitation of my best friend Robert. Between that time and my dad's passing, there was a new pastor there. I started going back in September 2000 and after just a month and ALOT of prayers and teachings and such, I knew I had to truly accept the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross as payment for my sin debt if I wanted to go to Heaven. I did that October 15, 2000. My life has been so much better since. I could not have gotten over losing my father without God's healing grace and mercy. Praise be to Jesus Christ Almighty!
In Christ,
Jeff

........I was raised in the New Age faith...(whatever that is) but God is so Forgiving!!!I gave my life to the Lord whole heartedly Easter Sunday last year. I find it hard to think about my life prior to that....I have no idea how I got through...
I didn't...the Great I AM got me through!! I have been through so much since then and God is constantly stretching my tent pegs. I'm speechless when it comes time to put into words my gratitude!!Blessings, Bree

Well I grew up in a Christian family and always considered myself to be a Christian, but I didn't realise the implecations of that belief until I was about 15 and started "working" for an evangelical charity. My faith grew cold for about 1 year and then about 8 months ago I came back to Christ, thanks to my beautiful fiancé.
I thank God every day for sending me Sandy and using hime to save my Soul!!

I was saved about 20 years ago, when I was around 30 years old. I knew almost nothing about Christianity or the Bible. When I think back on it now, it amazes me that the very few people I knew who were Christians, told me so very little about it.
After my divorce I found myself a single parent and decided it would be a good idea to quit drinking. But I still wanted to socialize. They told me about this place that was a Christian night club. All they had there to drink was soda. So I thought that would be good. They would get different Christian groups to come in and sing and I thought the music was wonderful. Eventually I started to learn a little bit about Christianity. Someone asked me if I wanted to get saved, and I had no idea what they were talking about. At first I was a little bit afraid, but then I figured I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I was hoping something good would come out of it. Turns out a LOT of good came out of it. Over the years I have sinned, thinking I could get away with it, turns out you don't. But I never, ever wanted to give up being a Christian. God is so loving, forgiving and He has just been really, really good to me. He is just always there to help me and bail me out whenever I am in trouble. He always has a solution for every problem and a answer (eventually) for ever question.
For me, I can not see why anyone would want to be anything other than a Christian. What little pleasure there is in sin is little more than a snowball that melts in your hand or a puff of smoke that disappears in the wind. But when God does something, you have it forever.

My, I must have been around 10 and it was more than likely end of 1980 or beginning of 81. I still made lots of mistakes, but I know when I ask for forgiveness that I am forgiven. I have wondered many times if I was "really" saved, cause I did make so many mistakes, but again, I remember, God forgives.
