Wow I have never heard people talk about being saved like that... how can you take being saved by Jesus and put it into one event, one day, one minute? We die with Him every day. Every time we offer Him as the sacrifice of the Mass He shows us how much He loves us. I was baptized when I was a week old, and I have been a Christian ever since. fell in love with my Christianity about 6 months ago when I found Christ in the Mass..I haven't been the same since!

I was 4. I re-dedicated my life at 11 and was baptized 15, I think.

I was 20. Can't put a date on my salvation, but I was baptized on December 19, 1999. I'm now almost 3.

Ok here it goes (I think it went this way..)
I was saved when I was little (It's very vague but I remember which side of the pulpit)
I got the call to preach the summer I was 12
Fell away 12.5/13
Got back on track...
So now here I am 14 (It's a scary thought...)

I've been told that I excepted Him at 5. Later at age 10, I went down to the alter... EVERYONE seamed to be going... so I thought, why not me too? lol...

But I don't believe I actually excepted Him till this year... on my 18th birthday, I... fully understanding what I was doing, and getting into... excepted Him as Master, and Savior of my life.

I understand. Been amazed what He has done with my rebel attitude. I am still stubborn and a rebel except now I stubbornly rebel for God instead of against Him.

Amen buddy *applauds*...I was a baby when I was baptised...probably like 5 months old....my parents made me and my sister go to Sunday School and recieve the Sacraments, all that good stuff...but I hated Church, I HATED going to Mass lol....I'm too lazy to post the whole thing here lol just read about it here Ohh and to add to that...I was Confirmed when I was 6 on a trip to visit relatives in Mexico...so this year I got a chance to be a Eucharistic Minister *excited* Something just.....I don't know what it was the first Sunday I was one....when I took that chalice from Fr. ...this comforting, peaceful feeling just came over me--and I knew, somehow, it truly is Jesus And just recently I became sick with the flu and I was so scared...so scared that I asked God not to let me die and that if I ever got better that I would try to live each day for Him and stuff y'know try to change my life.....and so tomrrow I'm going to Confession....I'm a little nervous since I haven't gone in about a year and before that since I did the Sacrament (about 7 years ago) but I know it's for the best and Fr. will help me so wish me luck
