Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!!!!!!

Well.....
It was on this day October 25, 1987 that I Was Baptized in Jesus Name and Filled with the Holy Ghost.
At the age of 16 after being raised in the church but running as hard as I could from a calling on my life and a rich heritage, I finally surrendered and let HIM have my life.
It has not been all smooth sailing but I have not regretted one mile of this journey.

I have seen both the good and the bad of what we call the church....BUT as long as my driving force is to please HIM.....then I know "Its gonna be worth it all"!!!!!

To my Apostolic Friends.....STAY IN THE CHURCH...dont back down, dont get discouraged and dont get sidetracked!!

Ive been to the far right and Ive been to the far left....
I love the middle!

Dont sell out for a watered down version of ACTS 2:38!
Stay balanced in your "Holiness" views and never, ever....ever...ever...trade what is solid for that which is weak!

Anyways......

I want to reaffirm on this my 20th spiritual birthday

ACTS 2:38 is THE ONLY WAY!
Jesus Name Baptism is the ONLY way and ANY other way is just getting you wet!
There is ONE LORD, ONE FAITH and ONE BAPTISM!
Without HOLINESS no man shall see the LORD!
It takes all thee..Repentance, Baptism in Jesus Name and The Infilling of the HOLY GHOST to be saved....ANYTHING less is a watered down version of truth and will NOT stand.

So...my prayer is the next 20 years will be one of revival, humility, dedication and a life that would bring honor to the God of MY Salvation.

Dan

Congratulations! what an awesome heritage! I had to smile when I read the above highlighted part of your post. That is exactly what my Dear Mother used to say about baptism any other way! She instilled that deep in my heart and I love that heritage. I celebrated my 40th year Holy Ghost Birthday in May of this year! I am so glad I have the Lord Jesus in my life, I don't know how folks who do not serve him or know him cope on a day to day basis.
