Kewl. It still happens that way many times.

Amazing that so many have left the old landmarks, wouldn't you say?

Re: When You Got Saved in a Baptist Church ...

I got saved at home on Monday night March 28, 1955 after attending a service in a Baptist Church.

A couple nights later I went back, stood up in a testimony service and told how I had invited Jesus Christ into my life two nights before. I had never testified in my life and really didn't know what the term meant. The leader of the service just asked if anyone had anything to say about how the services had been a blessing and I stood up and said it.

I later learned about the Holy Ghost Baptism and began to pray for that experience. I continued to attend my Baptist Church. In August I attended three services in an Apostolic Church when I was visiting in another part of the state. After both Sunday night services I prayed and pleaded with God for the Holy Ghost Baptism.

Two months later I attended another Apostolic church and went to the altar to plead with God for the Holy Ghost Baptism. Someone asked me if I wanted to be baptized in Jesus' name. I wasn't certain that I wanted to but thought I'd go ahead and do it since I probably would do it some time in the future.

A month or two later I started attending an Apostolic church nearer home and began to seek or tarry (that's what they called it back then) for the Holy Ghost Baptism. I received the Holy Ghost Baptism on May 20, 1956.

But, I was not any more saved after water baptism that I was before, and I was no more saved after the Holy Ghost Baptism than I was before.

How could he have been saved in a Baptist church? I didn't think that was possible...

Re: When You Got Saved in a Baptist Church ...

I started out in a Baptist church. During one service when I was about 12 years old the message hit me, God moved me to tears, I was drawn to the front after service to "repeat after me" for salvation, then was baptized in the titles. It was 2 more years before we changed to a pentecostal church. I never did have that feeling I felt that night again until our first service in the pentecostal church. As a teen I recieved the baptism of the Holy Ghost and was baptized in Jesus Name.

There was no doubt what I felt in that baptist church was the Spirit of God, but it never happened again while I was going there and after I left that night I knew I had felt something but the prayer and baptism just seemed empty or more ritual.

Later on in life our church was eating out and I ran into that baptist preacher. He ask how I was and where I was going to church, after I told him, he said he was glad I had moved on to truth. I asked him what he meant and he said; "I know what you have is the truth, but if I preach that in my church I will lose my congregation"

Sad.

Honestly, there are a ton of baptist preachers like this. They even preach oneness to a point (with out calling it oneness). But like your friend stated, they would lose their congregation, be voted out, etc. I do believe that God is working in every religious body to bring us all into the truth.

I haven't met one yet ... that fits this bill ...

Haven't met any AG ministers like this either ...

I know the other pat answer as to why they won't do it is because of the money ...

Yet I know some Apostolic ministers who won't leave for the same reasons listed above ... lose the church, family, income, network, friendships, etc.
