My apologies Pastor Ezekiel for posting in anothers thing, as I stated I had not realized that it was forbidden to do so. But this is my story because I had seen somewhere and lost it, where a lady had asked to prove you were saved. By the way, your reference towards me as a "Feminazi" is really uncorrect due to the fact that the dictionary meaning of a 'Feminazi' is:
Main Entry: fem·i·na·zi
Pronunciation: \ˈfe-mə-ˌnät-sē\ Function:
noun Etymology: blend of
feminist and
Nazi Date: 1989
usually disparaging : an extreme or militant
feministAnd well the reason I say I'm not a Feminazi is because I'm not a Nazi, I used to be I admit that, I was a Neo-Nazi Skinbyrd, but I saw the error of my ways and came to God. Now as far as Feminist goes, well that's really kinda touchy there because I do believe in equality and the reason I say this is because, I have to work to support my family and I feel that if I work hard I should get paid accordingly and a person due to race, gender or religious creed should not be paid any less or more than I for the same job. Extremist? No, I'm not extremist the only thing I find myself get extreme about is my passionate love for God.
So I suppose if one is going to have to bestow a title upon me, I would just rather be referred to as, something nice and not desparaging.
But anyways on to the important stuff, I wanted to share how I know that I'm saved:
First off the Bible says that we have
ALL sinned and come short of the glory of God. That is scriprtural truth according to the King James Bible, which is God's infallible word.
Romans 3:23
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned
Well it simply seemed at this point I was doomed to not be a child of the King, I mean how could I who was full of sin and iniquity be a bride, spotless and without blame before the Lord?
I just couldn't, I was involved in the occult an abomination before God, a stench in the nostrils in the Almighty. I was serving His adversary fully and whole heartedly.
What else was I? I was a neo-nazi skinbyrd, hating everyone that was not like us to include the Jewish race. Why? Simply because as you believe yourselves, they were the ones that are selfish, stingy, self - serving, hook nosed kikes. The simple fact that they killed Jesus, well that did not matter that was another Jew dead by their own people, who cared.
Well I had been shown the error of my ways quite affectively through God's intervention and I found myself at an altar repenting whole heartedly before God for all my sins asking His forgiveness and that He would wash me clean under the blood, and when all my sins had been forgiven they still loomed over me. Why? Because I had not yet fulfilled all the steps to the plan of salvation, which was baptism in Jesus Name, to be buried beneath the cleansing blood.
Well, why is that important? Because the Bible says so:
John 3:1-7
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
I mean God knows the hearts of men and women and for Him to stand before this man and answer a question that had not been even asked was totally amazing.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
So there was the commandment given by God Himself, "You must be born again" By His Spirit.
Why do I say that it was given by God Himself? Because Jesus was God in the Flesh, why do I say that? Because it says it in the Bible:
John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:14
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Oh my goodness, could it say it any more simpler than that?
In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and THE WORD WAS GOD, then it says that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.
wow, that's pretty amazing because God had given me that revelation of the Oneness of God.
So here we go on because we have now established the fact that it was indeed God's commandment to be born again OF THE water AND spirt.
So what's the spirit?
Well, that's the Holy Ghost, when God forgave me for my hideous sins of the past, I received the gift and yes, it is a gift given from God because a person cannot live right without the Holy Ghost.
I will prove that later on, but you see how does a person know that they have been given the gift and that they truly have received God's salvation?
That's easy because I started speaking in other tongues, yes, tongues and that is Biblical.
Isaiah 28:10-12
10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Mark 16:17
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues
Acts 2:4
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 10:44-46
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
One vital reason why God chose other tongues as the initial sign of receiving the Holy Ghost is that speaking in tongues is an immediate, external evidence.
So here we are now, at the altar asking God's forgiveness, which He does so then He gives us this gift, The Holy Ghost and the evidence that God now dwells in a clean house is by speaking in tongues.
So now that you're done with all that, what happened to me next? Well, I'm glad you asked: I was baptized by immersion under the cleansing waters In The Name of Jesus Christ.
Why? Because the Bible says to do that:
Acts 2:37-39
37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
Oh yeah a little note here, it says As Many as the LORD our GOD shall call, not Landover.
But anyways, Yes I am a sinner but I'm a sinner saved by God's marvelous grace.
Because it says it's for whomsoever will, that's who ever wants it not just a select chosen few, and yes I can find that in the Bible too:
Romans 10:12-13
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
And thus and therefore I rest my case that I am saved according to the scripture in the Word of God.
