On this website we offer people an experience with Jesus, where they are brought back into relationship with Him, their sins are washed away and they receive the Holy Spirit into their lives. They are immediately taught they can hear God’s voice as they walk with Him daily in the garden and they canrelease His miracle-working power. It took me 25 years to learn that. Wouldn’t it be nice to have it all there readily available as soon as they welcomed Jesus into their lives?
I was lying in bed, trying to fall asleep and a thought kept going through my mind: “If you die tonight, you are not prepared to go to heaven.” Little did I know that this flowing thought was actually the voice of the Holy Spirit calling me into God’s kingdom. I could not shake it so I got up and went downstairs to tell my parents I wanted to get saved. They drove me to the minister’s home where he explained the plan of salvation, prayed with me and that night my life was forever changed. The church I joined at age 15 believed that anyone who was not a member of that denomination was not saved. Wow! Saved into intense judgmentalism!
My first Bible included marginal notes that taught dispensationalism, which is the belief that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are not for today. Liberals, on the other hand, teach demythalization, which is the belief that the miracles Jesus did were myths and need to be stripped away. So both ends of the spectrum marginalize the role of the Holy Spirit. I led people to the Lord with no mention of the Holy Spirit and no expectation that they would necessarily experience anything when they were saved. They were just guaranteed heaven if they said the right words.
