[Austin]

I got saved in a Southern Baptist church. It was because the minister was preaching Jesus and him crucified just like Peter did. He then said a person must repent and surrender his life to Jesus Christ. I was a catholic boy I didn't really know this because when I went to church in the 50-60's they were holding mass in Latin. I didn't have a clue what the priest was saying.
After I got saved someone asked me if I had received the Holy Ghost. Of course I said yes. He then said did you speak in tongues. I didn't have a clue what he was talking about. I'm glad today that someone had enough courage to put that question to me first hand. it was later in my living room while praising God that the Holy Ghost fell on me and tongues began like water running down hill. I spoke in them for hours and didn't want to stop. it was one of the greatest experiences beside my spiritual conversion that I have ever had. Of course the Baptist pastor told me to stay away from the pentecostals because they were of the devil. I said to them " How can something that praises and glorifies Jesus more than what I see you doing, be of the devil?/
