I have witness to all of my family members and after I read Christopher's article on repentance I have my doubts if I shared the gospel correctly. When I think back to when I was born again in 1971 I don't recall if I was brought to Godly sorry for my sins it was more a knowledge that Jesus Christ was truly the son of the living God and a sense that he loved me and my sins were forgiven. I remember the next day when I would go into my living and put on music that I always listen to and started dancing very sensual like I always did; I can't do it it felt it was sinful and dirty and just stopped doing it. I look back on this; one of many moments in my walk with the Lord as having conviction of sin. I want to please him and get guidance from him and there was round week after I received the Lord that I felt unworthy of him and was crying out to him to show me why I felt dirty. I pick up my bible to John 13 where he was washing the disciples feet and came to Peter to wash his feet and Peter said; (John 13:6-10) (John 13:6-10) "Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? {7} Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. {8} Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. {9} Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. {10} Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all." Jesus showed me that my feet will get dirty and needs cleaning as I walk through this sinful world but I have been washed with his blood and justify. There was an other time when I was struggling in college in English class I just couldn't write pages and when I had a friend who was and English major read my page ; she corrected and I turn it in , before I got it back from my teachers I was born again. Well, I received an A on the paper and couldn't sleep because of conviction from the Lord , I finally got down on my knee and told him I would confess my wrong to the teacher the next day; which I did with tears and she was so understanding and said she will help me through paper writing. I was put into a special reading course ; I love to read now. I had dyslexia. But to answer your question about my family; my brother Don was a devote Catholic and one time I visited him to share the gospel. He would read his bible, not KJB, and wanted to know if I would put a crucifix up on my wall , as he pointed to his. I said possibly not , but can I ask you a question, he said yes, "Why do you brake the second commandment. And he was shocked! I quoted it from memory and his daughter hand me their bible and says show me in the bible where it is? Dee I open right to it and it was just the same as the KJB. He was shocked and then said to me well you seem like you know it all, but no I said; am a beggar who found bread and am showing other were to find it. I got to pray that night with him and later talked over the phone with him in the hospital were he was dying of Cancer. I prayed Matt; 11:28. His wife told me after Don passed that he certainly love his Lord. If you want to ask any more question feel free.
