    Fifth year Anniversary
Let's ramble a little, I'm 67 so I'm entitled.

I was saved by means of an [American] gospel magazine, in my own home...but it was dramatic. One moment I did not know God, the next I did, one moment I had no concept of the Holy Spirit, the next I was overflowing with His joy and power, one moment I did not understand a jot of the bible, the next it was an open book to me.

I read the KJV through 3 times in the first 18 months...then read the RSV and the Living through. I still read at least a chapter a day, sometimes more....above all else I am a bible lover, I hate to see the twistings that go on, that's my bible, the much loved word of my Lord.

I am finicky as heck about which theologians or teachers I listen to, Corrie ten Boom and T.L.Osborn whose magazine it was through who I was saved settled me in my faith....I moved away from T.L.'s faith based theology [as indeed HE did in his later years] toward the more stable grace teachings of C.H.Spurgeon...though I rejects much of Calvinism. I love Joseph Prince.

I believe the full Pentecostal whack because I got the full Pentecostal whack...my great sadness has been that until quite recently the Pentecostals themselves had fallen far behind and so fellowship was difficult...I sat at the back of large assemblies longing for revival.

I have stood with a few ministers in establishing little evangelical enterprises and have seen souls saved and lives turned around...great miracles. I rarely do the upfront stuff, but I am known in certain circles...have preached in the open air and seen souls saved, preached in London's Hyde Park. :)

There I rambled a little...there is but a scratching on the surface of all that God has done for me...I love Him and trust Him come what may.
I love it Billy. I'm trying to start replying and interacting in threads more here now after spending 8 months or so building up this forum. I might change the name of the forum in the future and I'd luv your suggestions. For me, my theology was decidedly Catholic until 5th grade but I went no further in the church. I heard a lot of scripture during Mass but they were mostly all the same and boring. I enjoy a good Catholic service now. My mom's side of the family is Pentecostal and my mom and family have spoken in tongues and my uncle Larry Thornton is in with the Assemblies Of God outfit and he interprets tongues speaking.

I got into drugs and spent the next 30 years not touching a Bible and thinking religion was fake and superficial and invented to keep the masses in line. It wasn't until I got on the internet for the very first time in 2014 and created a YT channel just so I could comment. Then I watched only the news and various odd videos. I can look back over these last 5 years and impart so much of God's love and guidance in my life it freaks met out !!! I am amazed at God's doings in my life.

So I started searching for deeper thinking material like theology and stumbled on Grace Ambassadors who teach Mid Acts Pauline Dispensational doctrine which always seemed correct to me. The Holy Spirit opened the KJV to me and I finally understood what is written, Well, much of it but not all. I would love to hear more about your life Billy and also everybody here on this forum and their lives. I really learn from your posts on TF and thank you for being here for us all.
