Yes, when someone repents they are walking in the light. But that does not mean the Spirit of God was in me, He was with me.

This touches my heart. I am so thankful that God has done so much for you. I am deeply touched at this testimony. God bless you brother/sister.
But, there can be no change in one's life simply be one being WITH you. There was a LIGHT IN YOU. That light in you gave you a change in your INWARD parts. It was a CONVERSION. That conversion was that of making aright that which was upside down and perverted. That was an INWARD effect by an INWARD dwelling SPIRIT...no I did not say baptism but an INWARD Spirit of a divine nature. Remember God was with you, even when you were an atheist...otherwise, He could never have led you to your crisis point of faith and repentance.
