There is a male who attends our church several times throughout the yr. He is older than I, nearly 30. He has the mental capacity of a young child. I really doubt he has a real understanding.
Lately I have been praying "Lord, if he doesn't have the mental capacity to comprehend 'salvation', heal him enough to understand and be receptive..."

Ain't that the truth. Gut wrenching sad, to be precise.

I have a friend that her son was able to do that. He was not healed but his mind was clear long enough to understand about salvation.

I've seen several actually filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized. Obviously it depends on their capacity to comprehend what's going on in their world. I find it a VERY humbling experience to see God fill them with the Holy Ghost and bless them in the waters of baptism. For all our 'hot air' and 'big talk' we're just like the most feelbe among us in God's eyes.
