one moment that stands out is when i was visiting a church but instead of a sermon (that i was really looking forward to) they did baptisms all morning, prob about 10 people or so. it was a standard baptism and each person gave their testimony. i listened and when the baptisms were finished, we sang chris tomlin's amazing grace - my chains are gone. i was in tears as well as grown men. it was amazing how something as simple as a testimony and baptism of a person effected us all and our faith.

The first time I went to a Protestant service after converting away from being Roman Catholic for my whole life.

I had loved God so much, but I never got anything out of Catholic service, but the second the Protestant service started I was just filled with the love of Christ, I felt like God was standing there, right next to me, with his arm around my shoulder...I'm almost crying just thinking about it.

The amount of love and joy I found can not be described... :')

One night I felt God calling me to go and fast in the open air for a week, and I did. I felt a revelation of him and his presence, salvation, and will for my life, that it still affects my daily life.

This moment, when I look at the words of a certain respondant to nearly every comment on the thread, and read the fear woven throughout them.

This moment, realising that the love of Christ is available to me, right now.

Thank you, TheFinalResistance, your resistance is not final, you are not finality, but shall come instead to know Love, true love, which surpasses limited humanity.

Transcendence shall be yours, who fancies him/herself such a maverick and freethinker, who supposes to blaspheme the name of God, to blaspheme - from French blasmer, to blame, you blame God and rightly so, He took responsibility for all these things you deplore, the work of mankind.

The filth and the pain and the suffering of mankind He took on himself, He took yours, you are as a child lifting its dress or speaking back to its parents, you have nothing to fear and I pray for you, that you will learn this.

How does a post intended to simply tell our awesome experiances with God to each other turn into a debate about wether He exists or not? Seriously, is tnis not supposed to be a place where Christians can talk with one other without being attacked? Or should we all just merge into one huge reddit and diss each other because we can't mind our own business?

I think half the voters in this thread need to take a breather and check their butt-hurtness. Downvoting a testimony doesn't make a lot of difference.

When I became baptized and received the Holy Spirit

Prayed for a friend's brother in a coma and "knew" that moment he was healed. I was a Presby at the time and thought prayer was more of a duty than could change things, but I was so inclined to boldly state the feeling to my brothers and sisters that were there...and was right. My jaw dropped (when we learned the news later, that he had been healed that very hour) and I have never been the same. The same thing happened when a relative of mine was prayed for that was in similar shape -- I didn't believe that God would have mercy for me and the people that i loved --I was OK with that. But when I saw that miracle I knew how much he loved me, and I can never be shaken.

The book that changed my life was the week I spent reading "The Cost of Discipleship" by Deitrich Bonnhoeffer (long ago) - it was only then I realized how most of us read the Bible but really don't believe or act on anything Christ says at face value.

The Sermon that changed my life was one given by Tony Campolo long ago. (his words about the eagle at Wannemakers in Philadelphia still haunt me ...in a good way). He (God through him) is the reason i am a scientist and not a lawyer, and that God called me to be so. My success as a scientist over the last 15-20 years only testifies to God's power, and many of my peers are confused, confounded, and sometimes jealous of it. "I" have discovered things that I hope will change the world...and I know that God spoke them to me :)

I've seen a few miracle healings, they're always pretty powerful. As for me personally I've had a lot of prayer for an 11 year headache from countless pastors, more so me being able to feel Him within me as a result. It always blows me away.

I went to Peru on a mission trip and brought my guitar with me so I could play with the praise band at the church of this missionary Pastor who was living down there at the time. The night before the service, the Pastor, the small group, and I all practiced the songs together in his house, and we got completely lost in the songs. We were naked before the Lord. I've never been moved to tears quite like that.

I was driving across the midwest into the big snowstorm in 2007. I was in a two wheel drive, bald tired nissan pickup. I also had 157.50 to my name, no home, no plan. I was eating cans of tuna and powerbars, luckily not at the same time. I made it through the blizzard to the outskirts of Wallace, Idaho, where I surrendered and dedicated my life to Jesus.

Best choice I ever made.

I volunteered to give humanitarian aid to Haiti.

The moment I though "god, you are crazy, psychopathic asshole", was one of the most powerful ones I have ever had.

Well, I survived a car accident when I was supposed to die (I was on back sits and the back of the car compressed to the front). If I had been in the other seat, had died, because the car bent exactly around me.

I went to university the next day.

ITT: TheFinalResistance DESTROYS every christian by using well thought out logic.

It's entertaining to read christians try to defend themselves with their horrible bible logic
