1 | Confused With Pastor | Rom 10:9 | Bully_Mom | 173118 | ||
Hello all, new here. I am looking to be baptized, but do not belong to a church. I've always been a believer and lover of God, and was raised to know Jesus, just not in your typical "go to church on Sunday" home. We read and studied by ourselves. My Mother and I both want to be baptized without being forced to join a church, and found one with a very nice man who was A-OK with this. However he did say one disturbing thing, and I wanted other's opinions: He asked when I accepted Jesus Christ, and I said I was always a beliver, but he said I should have had an, "Ah-ha" moment of revilation. A moment that changed my life, and he discribed his own. I just always knew about Jesus, and always accepted him. Just like I know red is red, I know that Jesus is the Son of God who died for our sins. He kind of made me feel that I was missing something... Went home and jumped on the Bible for scripture on this and did find a few ways I'm slacking on in different areas (Thank you Lord for the insight) but nothing on this. I was wondering what others think. Not doubting my own faith, just confused at the pastor's position. Thanks for all responces and views! Go with God! Amanda |

Hi Amanda, Welcome to our little corner of the Web! Simply put, salvation is based on faith, not feelings or experiences! :-) Many people experience many different things, and many experience nothing at all, at least at first. I'm not sure why this pastor claims you need a feeling or experience to go with the faith, but I am not aware of any Scripture that would require it. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
