Beliefs

My religious beliefs are that I believe in Jesus Christ. And that has pretty much stayed the same. But the thing of Christianity is that you grow more in faith. God works and moves in your life and is constantly showing you how wonderful He is and how much He loves you. I remember being in Sunday school in first grade and being like, yes, Jesus is the son of God. And that was it for a while. It was more of answering the teacher's questions and knowing all the stories in the bible. It wasn't until I got to high school that something changed. I had one sunday school teacher who actually asked us if we were baptized. And I wasn't. He wondered why. I answered that I felt like I wasn't ready. And he told me that that was one of the works of the devil, to make one think they aren't ready to be baptized. Someone used the saying "You can go down (as in the water for baptism) and come back up as a wet devil." Baptism is just the outside expression of what has already happened on the inside. So I can proud to say that I did get baptized by the end of that year. January 1, 2006 with two of my very good friends. After that I went through a lot of temptation but luckily I had some strong moral values or I would not be the person I am today. Once I got to college, one of the things I wanted was to find a good Christian group to be apart of and I found that. I went through more things but just kept growing in faith. God brings these trial around so that you can grow, so that you can learn and stand strong against the attacks of the enemy. Not saying that you'll perfect, we're only human. But you can remember back to those times where God has helped you, brought you through crisis after crisis and maybe use those experiences to help others. That is what I believe.
