Greetings in the Lord Jesus.

My name Is Stanislav, I'm from Moldova, East of Europe.
31 y. o. Married and have a 1.5 y. o. little male gift from God :) not vaccinated or injected yet even once, thank God.
Now back to me Former dead man, now dead for the world and alive in Christ.
Please allow me to be straight forward and not waste your time too much.

I've heard Christians say they remember the day they were born again....well for me it's more like the natural birth, you don't really remember that but the first time you fell of the bicycle is falls deep in my memory, that when you feel the reality overwhelming)). Same is with my second birth, I remember water baptism and after that i remember fornicating with women included married too, and all that while dating a nice looking virgin church-goer girl that was my age. And WOW was I messed up "disciple of Christ".

Relatively short after that I got married to a girl I was practically living with as concubines. She used to smoke and alcohol was not new to her too, and she was just 21 at that time..

Sorry...hard to stay short )

So.... I went from hating cigarettes to buying them for my future wife.

God started to put me down badly in those days.
But this was, so I could see how wicked I was, while thinking I was good. Oh, did I mention pornography that didn't end with the marriage, as I thought it would?...well God gave me to taste the bitter wine I prepared myself and It was not tasty, believe me at my word. ..But next you know, and He started cleaning up my mess and even cut off my wives smoke and alcohol cravings, Improved on her behavior and working on her manner of dressing etc. Gave us a healthy child and a very smart one too.

 Psalms 103:8 - 9 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. note He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.


Well.... English is not my native language as you can probably tell by this moment :), In fact when I was in school in the 5th grade, we had an exchange English teacher from the US, Miss Chris, which did a lot of good effort to make our lessons entertaining but in spite of all that I did HATE English at that early age, and rightfully so I sucked at it, which is obviously not a coincidence, a vicious circle. Why I write all that? Because later on God opened up my mind to receive thus new language as it turned out just so I can learn the truth about Him and Christ through internet and all the peaces of puzzle are coming together perfectly. I wish I can keep in mind How amazing is our Lord in those moments that hard time strike in a sudden...Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?[/i]

Still, have more to share but I spare you)) having in mind that as I desire to join your church to meet you all on skype and, if Lord see fit, tell you more in there.

Brought to you via android smartphone, i know Christopher doesn't really like them :), so please spare my mistakes.

Phm 1:3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

Hi Stanislav,

I'm glad you found us here, but what I'd really like to know is if you've ever come to true repentance. You didn't really mention that in your introduction. If you haven't read/listened to the teaching on that, I would suggest you do so.

I have and had just one wife. My wife is not yet saved but I make efforts and pray God to save her, please pray for her too.

I was saved when God made me suffer and showed me what a wicked born again pagan I was. That's when tears came out and I entrusted my life to Lord Jesus... So God gives the increase since.

I have never heard of a born again pagan before. What do you mean by that?

What I mean by a "born again pagan" is someone who believes he is saved but is not, someone who deceives himself.
