Hi Sankalpa, Praise the Lord! I've been following your discussion thread and based on your question, I too don,t like he word 'ritual'. If we use the scripture's in 1st Peter, Chapter 5:1-4; this may give some light to your question. It is my believe, that I must lead by example and the Holy Spirit does the rest. As verse 2 states in 1st Peter, Chapter 5, "Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constaint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind," Verse 3, "Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock." I think being a proper example is being a 'True Shepherd'. As for the Baptism, there are three types, the Baptism into Christ, Water Baptism, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Not quite understanding your question as to 'actual process', but if you will reword the question so my simple mind can understand, I would appreciate the discussion fellowship with you. May God Bless You! You stated that you knew how to convert someone to Islam. This means you are well versed in the ways of Islam, Correct? My question, When did you convert to Christianity? With Humbledness, John Ryals |

Thank you. My goal in life is to understand god. After saying that let me say something about religion. I have always believed that religion should be about peace and self sacrifice, these two things go hand in hand. I started to read about sacred text of many different religions two years ago. Hinduism is vast and confusing. It is highly ritualistic and does not believe in self sacrifice for peace. It calls a man to arm for ridding of evil from this world. Similarly, Islam is also aggressive when it comes to getting rid of evil. Both these religion (though exceptional and beyond me) are violent. When I read about Jesus Christ I could identify with him meaning he embodied my thought of what a true man and a religion should be like. Even though many stories in the old testament are violent, gospel talks about this magnificent man who accepted death even though he had the power to defeat death itself.That to me is the true meaning of life. Now I don't think i have to tell you that our schools and colleges and universities teach more evolution and communism than anything else. So, in some circles when they enquire about my religion i call myself christian because i believe in the gospel. But i haven't been officially converted to Christianity. yes i am very well versed in Islam religion. I have read both the quran and the hadith. I have also seen the actual conversion ceremony. |
