Testimonies Of Miracles

[Garbonzo]

When I was 15 we were living in the High Desert far from any Apostolic Church. My mom was there caring for an elderly great uncle and took us to a small Full Gospel church while we were there since it was the only Pentecostal church in the area. My uncle had begun going with us to services.

So, Uncle died during one of the church services. A county health nurse had arrived and proclaimed him to be deceased. The pastor had the church pray and my mom knowing he had not been baptized in Jesus Name began to ask the Lord for another chance. God raised him up from the dead after about 20 minutes of prayer.

My great uncle decided he needed to be baptized and they discussed it with the pastor and his assistant. My mom indicated that it needed to be done in Jesus name or she would drive him to the nearest church that would over in the next county. The assistant was argumentative but the pastor said that since it was in the bible he had no problems baptizing my Uncle in Jesus name. The day came for the baptismal service at an area lake. When they baptized my uncle In Jesus Name the Holy Ghost fell. Both the pastor and assistant pastor began to get exited in the water. Wild worship excited. Pretty soon the pastor grabs his assistant and yells "I now baptize you in the Name of Jesus Christ" and plunges him under. The assistant pastor comes up, shakes the water off and looks at his pastor for a moment then he grabs his the pastor and yells "I now baptize you in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ" and proceeds to bury him in the water as well.

It was awesome and powerful.
