Any Christians please tell us about what it was like when you were saved

Isn't it the most amazing feeling in the world? It some times hurts me to see when others wont let him into they're heart. But there is hope ! Just pray and accept the Lord Jesus Christ and things will work out ! What about you other Christians? How has your experience been? Lets share our stories and maybe with his grace we can show the rest just how good it feels.

It's kinda like how when you have been driving all night and are extremely tired and someone else volunteers to take over and drive for you. Then you can relax and have confidence in your friend to get you there safely. A great feeling. Good topic thanks for starting it. seek2find

Oddly enough I felt saved since my early childhood. Jesus was making a comeback in many KHs back in the late 70's.

I never bought into the JW mediatorship presentation because it contradicted scripture and the covenant with Israel had priest, kings, and R&F.

It's funny I got that feeling when I stop trying to "find" him and decided to just live and let live. Not believing for me was the deliverance. I feel at peace with myself and the world around me.

i'll just tell you a quick story. i used to read about people "getting saved" and i would laugh and think what a bunch of nut jobs. when i was able to determine the changes and perversions in the NWT, obviously Jesus is there after you uncovering what the WTS is trying to cover up. anyway, so I did the whole prayer to God thing that i read about, just like the nut jobs and it was absolutely crazy. i felt was they felt, i was humbled but also happy. now, i used to do alot of drugs, so maybe i am a nut. i know some of you atheists think people like me are crazy, and maybe we are. i dont think i am, but perhaps I am biased, LOL. any i totally felt what the people i would make fun of felt and it blew my mind. if you read alot of the "saved" stories on the net, alot of the have the same ending.

anyway, i really dont like talking about this stuff because i always cringe at it because alot of Christians sound very judgmental and superior to people who are not Christians. not all of them, of course. but there are alot of Christians that embarrass me, especially new earth creationist that try to debate atheists about stuff like the flood and science, etc.

so i usually refrain from discussions like this. anyway, i guess my point is, i am a very skeptical and cynical person and i didnt believe this stuff about Jesus until i did it and was just floored. i will never forget that. heck, if Jesus isnt real, and we just die, I wont know it, lol, so i mine as well believe, haha!

It is a complete different feeling....When I left JW's I realize what is like to be Christian. I realize that Jesus was so close to me and that I'm saved by accepting Him as my God and SAVIOUR...Not the WT but Jesus is my only way to be saved.

I have seen in my new Christian faith that the Orthodox Apostolic Church is asking to persue that Personal relation with Jesus, and this can be done also with the Mystery of the Holy Communion, the Blood and Flesh of Jesus. For the Apostolic Church they are not only Symbols but they ARE the Blood and Flesh of Jesus. This is how the Early Church Fathers explain the Holy Communion and this is how is been done for the 2000 years of the Orthodox Church. I will never forget the first time I did had the Wine and Bread. I was crying because Jesus accepted me and I have become a friend of my Lord.

I learned that the Church is a spiritual Hospital of our wounded souls, and no matter how many times we fall into sin, Jesus is there to heal us in His Church. I have learned to accept the other Christians and at the end of the day each of us will be judged according to our heart, and will be saved by accepting Jesus, because we are all saved by Him, through Jesu's Grace

It never took.

Everytime I would watch tv. or listen to the radio and get born again, the next day I was still the same.
