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.
