New Life In Christ!

Hello, I just wanted to say that through all my troublesome trials and tribulations of life of doubt and insecurities, I have renewed my vowes with Christ the Savior. I spent a good hour talking to my psychiatrist today, a believer of the Bible and also of science, that in the end, the theory of everything will never end, never, the universe is so HUGE, the earth has innumerable things to explore, that is is near impossible to explain everything. I asked him the question that even if everything was explained away with proof to back it, would that make it true that God doesn't exist? No! God exists because He wants us to discover his creation. Since the dawn of time, people have been so wrapped up in theories that it is just becomes ridicoulous. I just finished watching a Life of Miracles Volume II that came in the mail from CBN.com that is over an hour long, and I just couldn't help but think there HAS to be a God, there has to be a Jesus, there has to be a Holy Spirit. They do exist, and even though we might one day explain everything away with pure hard facts, in the end, it is us that have discovered the awesomness of God. The letter I wrote to American Atheists, which I assume some of you read, I doubted those things that happaned to me, but I don't think I do anymore, I believe they really happaned and it is something to be joyfull over. The fact is, I over exhaust myself too much in religious and secular research and I never find the answer I want, I never do, the real answers are in the Bible. I've been told over and over again, that all the time I spent doing this useless research, I could have been helping others, and that is what a Christian should express in life. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, we must submit ourselves to the Trinity in order to gain the full potential of what life has to offer, and that is what I have been lacking. All of my doubt, all of the lies I have put into myself, everything that I have done to corrupt myself worked and in the end, it REALLY didn't feel good. So, just to let you guys know as told in my dream - Atheists/Skeptics are blinded and think they know it all, but they don't, but you should still love them. This dream reminds me of what Jesus taught, and He taught this to me and made me think about it. I also have decided that it is better to have faith in the unseen than to not have faith at all. So as this stands, I am not going to do research anymore, I am going to form a new better life. It was yesterday that I took my Bible and wooden cross to my chest and asked God for my second chance, more like 1,000th chance :lol: , and I believe He granted it to me. He doesn't want ANYONE to fall away from Him, and I must believe and have faith that he is just and perfect. Without faith, life has no value.

Also, should I get rebaptized?

Maybe the fact that there was hundreds praying for you across a few churches helped this? :-)

All the glory to God, praise Him without stopping.

Well, I will be honest, with all the evidence from websites presented to me from you Godly people, it has helped quite tremendously. Also I had the nagging feeling inside of me that kinda spoke like "Brian, why are you being so foolish, your evidence/proof is right here, accept it!". So now I have, the hard part now is to try to restrict my researching habits to ONLY Christian resources and not secular resources, I just have to keep reminding myself to follow the divine dream I had which is the atheist is the foolish person. Jesus taught it, and he taught it once more in a dream to me. Also, I was watching the Passion of the Christ during the crucifixtion scence when a spontaneous thought entered my mind telling me "Look what I have done for you Brian". So yeah, through all this warped information in my head from the secular people's articles and media, I gotta get it out, gotta unbrainwash myself. Oh yeah, went to my fellowship meeting last night, it went GREAT! Got in small groups and studied.

PRAISE GOD!!!

Is it neccessary to get re-baptized or when I got it done to me almost a decade ago is that good enough?
