littletommy Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 Hello, my name is Tommy and I"ve been to about every church there is. Thinking about becoming Mormon again. The catholics on Catholic answers gave a chilly reception to a brother dorsey who came on, and that ticked me off, because he was doing nothing wrong. I also recently read a book called "The decline and fall of the Roman church" by Malachi Martin, and I want to come into the mormon church because an apostasy did happen, and now I believe it occured when Constantine became a Christian and wedded church and state together. I remember one of the Articles of Faith states that everybody should have the freedom to worship God as they please, and that appealed to me. Take care and God bless... Tommy Quote

littletommy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks and appreciation to you. May I ask about your testimony? How would I get one? I used to have a Book of Mormon so I know it says in Moroni 10:3-5 and in the bible in James 1:1-5 what to do. But I don't understand how to ask with real intent, without doubting anything. It seems very hard to do. I joined the church years ago, but I didn't really have a testimony- I was stoned on the day I was baptized, Go figure... But now, I am thinking about returning. God bless you for now... Tommy Quote
skalenfehl Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 My initial reaction to your reply would be to start reading the Book of Mormon again and really listen to what it says. You will begin to feel the Spirit working in you. It may take a little while, but it will come. You will know when it is time to ask the Lord if it is true or not. That is when you will know it is time to be baptized again and join the church and continue in the plan of salvation. I was going to only reply by recommending that you invite the missionaries over. I definitely encourage you to that too. Quote
Maya Posted March 16, 2008 Report Posted March 16, 2008 My testimony gorows all the time... I tought I had a strong testimony when I got babtized, and I think I did...somehow I just knew.... however, I could easily have decided that I didnot have any testimony. I am glad I decided to have a tesstimony and ahve not been worrying of small things that seem odd for me... things have got much clearer for me after a few years. I too could see that the apostasy might have happened, I could see that JS might have sen G, I could see that G had a body..... so I decided I believe and littleby littele I am learning to know... Welcome! Quote
