      The Lord saved me at the age of ten.  When I was younger, I thought that I was already a Christian, but when I was about eight, I began to think about it more.  I realized that I could not remember ever actually asking Jesus to save me! ("For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13).  I knew that if I truly asked Him to save me, it would not be right to keep a secret. ("For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." Romans 10:11).   However, I was afraid of what people would think when they found out that I had just been "acting a part."  I continued to fight with it for a while, but I would not give in.

One day when I was ten, my mom asked me if I had ever thought about being baptized.  I told her that I was not even saved!   We then knelt together and prayed, and I asked Jesus to save me.

We were having special meetings at church that week, and I went forward that night so that people would know that I was now truly saved!   I was able to be baptized the next night.
