Recommended: comparison of religions.

I did so much research on Christianity and other religions and compared them and found that Christ was universal, he was in no way segregational. There is no monopoly in Christ, God & Holy Spirit I lost my job and my practice was closed down, my ex left as I could no longer tolerate the way things were. I began to be sick with head aches, I had very bad headaches and I would read for hours, I was afraid to sleep, I had so much fear, shame and guilt inside of me, it was as if I was losing my faith and becoming something completely differently I was with Christ, I loved Jesus, I loved God and I depended on the Holy Spirit but I was no longer religious.

I began to see visions of people being burned and on one occassion it was as though. I was on fire, I broke …show more content…

The purification period is the most difficult period and can be very dangerous if one is in total ignorance and those around you are not aware of what is happening and you end up in a hospital where supresive medications are used, one can remain in a state of hopelessness, I was lucky that I believed that Yeshua will heal me and I always prayed that no weapon formed against me will prosper I knew in my mind that no evil spirit was giving me songs to write or good ideas but I did not know that being born again was a reality not a mere confession of faith in Jesus Christ, it was real Baptism of Fire and Water I honestly believed that one only needed to confess Christ as personal Lord and saviour the truth is that being born again is real, we use the word Holy Ghost Fire in the most carvaliar and trivial manner, it is not a joke to be on Holy Ghost Fire, I thank God for inventing perseverance and faith, I refused to accept that I was ill, I kept going, getting on with life as much as I could, I believed that God alone was in all my

  • Christianity As A Living Religious Tradition

    1291 Words  | 3 Pages

    Through the close study of two of the aspects shown in the diagram, their contributions allow Christianity to be considered a living religious tradition. The significant contributions of Pope John XXIII, during both his papal and Pre-papal life have had everlasting effects on not only Catholicism, but Christianity as a whole and lead to the sense of Christianity being a living religious tradition. His works include two Papal encyclicals, Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris, along with his work being Apostolic Delegate of Greece and Turkey. Moreover, The significant practice of Baptism has further contributed to Christian being considered a living religious tradition as it accounts for the premise of most Christian beliefs to be initiated, especially in terms of salvation and affirming the beliefs in the trinity and following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

  • Personal Experience: My Journey At Azusa Pacific University

    1459 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the end, God guided me to APU because He wanted me to learn about Christianity and its purpose. I was fearful at first because I did not know much about God or faith. Several times, I was asked by several APU staff and students which church I attended, but in reality I had never been to church except the one time I had a piano recital. I became curious when I went to my very first chapel. I did not understand why Christians were so strong-willed and crazed about God. When I looked around me, people had their hands in the air with their arms reaching out. I did not understand how they could praise God, someone who cannot be seen with the naked eye, with so much love. Two weeks passed, and I still did not quite understand the Christian religion and its purpose. I remember clearly that one of the apex meetings that I had with my mentor, Phoebe, completely altered my understanding of the Christian religion. She told me the story of Jesus Christ, which I wish someone had taught me earlier. She said that God created all of us humans, but

  • Rise Of Christianity Essay

    1432 Words  | 3 Pages

    The rise of Christianity in western civilization is arguably among the most important memories in history. There is no denying what the spread of Christianity has done for the world, for better or worse. Its impact on western civilizations is unrivaled and unprecedented. Christianity slowly became something for many individuals to turn to; in times of hurt its provided comfort, in times of pleasure it has given thanks. The will and belief for salvation has driven individuals to be better, and to have a reference while in need. The rise of Christianity more than 2000 years ago provided necessary building blocks for the future. Without Christianity there would be no cathedrals, no monasteries, no music from one Johann Sebastian Bach, no paintings from Michelangelo, nor no philosophy from Saint Augustine (Backman 205). There are countless times in history, whether good or bad, that can be credited to

    Most people could also use a mentor in their daily lives to help guide them. As Christians, we have the perfect mentor in the Lord. We even have a manual from our mentor on how to live our lives. 2 Timothy 3:16 says “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in the righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16 explains how scripture came to us from Him, and that it is here for our training. All Christians should feel comforted knowing that we have a mentor that is constantly looking out for us, and will always be there to show us the

  • The touch of Christ

    I have always had the knowledge of Christ, but up until this last year, I realized I did not truly believe in him. I questioned the things in my life and why I always ended up with the same misery over and over. I had grown up in an abusive life from my early years. I can honestly say I had brief periods of peace when I was allowed to go with my grandparents, but they were short lived. I was taken to a variety of counselors from a very young age and put on prescription medicines starting at 16. Everyone around me could not figure out what was wrong with me and why nothing would “fix” me. Sin was a normal for me, and I carried on that lifestyle into adulthood. I had no concept of trust and what love really was.

    Faith is a human response to God’s Revelation. It is a surrender of our whole self to God’s will and a complete trust in him. Faith is a supernatural gift from God that we must work at in order to grow wiser and to understand God better. Faith can change daily based on the situation and must be worked at every single day. Faith is a supernatural grace that opens our lives to possibilities beyond our day to day experience. Faith is guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit. Faith is expressed in different practices such as prayer, service, and justice. My faith is moderate at this moment. It is not as strong as it probably should be but it is not low enough to where it would need severe attention. It is that way right now probably because I am constantly surrounded with ant-Christian or anti-God views and it can be difficult to ignore or overcome these views at all times. My Faith is the strongest when I am in the company of other believers and am supported in my Faith. This was especially true when I volunteered for a Luke 18 retreat and was chosen to be a disciple. The responsibilities that came with this job included leading a small group and giving a talk. The weekend really opened my eyes and I grew in faith a lot over the course of the retreat. A time in my life where my faith has been weak was during my seventh grade year of school. I had gone to a Catholic school from kindergarten to sixth grade, but during seventh grade year my family moved and I started going to a public school. This situation really tested my Faith because unlike at my old school, not everyone was Catholic or even Christian. Religion was completely shut out of everything and it was difficult to cope with. This made it hard for me to continue and better my ...

  • Examples Of Spiritual Autobiography Essay

    1865 Words  | 4 Pages

    As a young boy, I attended Sunday School for many years. I learned about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit once a week and was immersed in a family that was religious. We never missed a Sunday, prayed before every meal, and talked about God in our lives. I was baptized and began attending a Lutheran church up until the end of middle school. Our lives became busier, and our attendances to church became fewer and far between. In school I began learning about evolution and how humans came about. I remember that I did not understand how school could teach something different than what I learned my entire life. At first I did not know what to believe. I became skeptical about many ideas in the Christian faith. Is there one almighty God? Did he create man as told in the story of Adam and Eve? I thought these bold ideas were far-fetched. For a short while, I did not believe the teachings of the Bible or of God. I had many of the same thoughts as doubters of the Christian religion. How can the idea of one God or Heaven be real if no living person had ever witnessed it for themselves? Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people? The absence of God and the theory of evolution seemed like the reasonable explanation to me. As time went on, I continued to attend church sporadically and did a lot of thinking about my faith. Every so often, I would find

    It wasn’t until my late teens that I made a personal decision to become a Christian. I made the choice and got baptize. Not because I felt obligated, but because, I felt the need to have a relationship with God. My experience has help me understand that not everyone who is born and raise in a Christian home is a believer. Feeling the need to communicate with God, having the certainty that He is there to listen when you call him is simply inexplicable. During my journey of faith, I have felt the hand of God moving in my life in different circumstances, his faithfulness is always there. There was a time when I was grieving and I thought God had abandon me. But understanding that He does not leaves us takes a while, is our choice to listen to Him or not, and as I was grieving I was becoming more distant of Him. Until one day I felt his presence, and I just cried, I couldn’t talk, even if I wanted to. But I felt his hand, the heavy burden I had was gone in an instant, and I felt peace in my heart like never before. In the moment I understood that He was always there, it was me resisting to have a communication with him. I am grateful that God has allow me to serve him, also has provided me with the opportunity to study to know more about him. Being able to get tools to better serve in the ministry is something that I would never before would thing of doing. But He knows better, we just need to learn to listen to his
