<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Here is something different, <b>middle class affluent Hindus converting</b>. And all it needs is a pop up.
Pop up leads to conversion (or convert while you surf)

This was my response to Shivansu
"Shivansu,
What about your parents, relatives, friends and all. They are non-Christians and will burn in hell forever. Can you sleep well when you see them in burning and being tortured in hell.
You are a very confused person! Christianity does not save. It has killed of all NAtive American Indians, Aborigines, Africans etc.
Even Mahatma Gandhi will go to hell according to Christianity since he was a Hindu! " ______

Well mine was a little dramatic ! Like it is written in books and all
First a little History
I was born in a staunch Hindu house. The hard-core new age Hindu types. I studied in a Catholic school . Read the New-Testament by hte age of 17 . Contemplated if i should become a Catholic priest but later gave up saying that the life of a catholic priest was very demanding.
Then i grew up
I did a lot of things which i should not have done. I was and am a sinner. I still struggle with a lot of things
A year or so back i read " The Da-vinci Code" . I was intrigued by it and increased my curiosity. In the meanwhile i met a girl who was a Christian. She prayed for me daily to be saved. When we decided that we were meant to marry each other i still was not saved.
I used to question her on her faith. Criticize her on beilieving something That " Jesus would return"( Little did i know!). being a Hindu i had thought of all religions to be like fairytales.I used to belive what Dan Brown had writeen and used to say Jesus was a Mortal saint
My fiance Ruth used to tell me the wonders of her faith daily.Then one day she started telling me about the times before Christs return.She told me that how belivers were and Would Be persecuted.She said maybe she-would not survive it.
Its at that time that i prayed to Jesus for the first time
I loved her so much that i said to Jesus " To whatever supernatural force she prays to if you exist please take care of her"
And to my surprise he said " I will don't worry". Yes i heard those words. I felt my room fill with light in the middle of the night. I felt warm all over. I felt him walk into my room. I felt his presence . And then i saw him . Surprisingly i saw him walk away. And i kept looking at his feet( i really dont know why)
I heard his footsteps and then it all turned dark
I was Baptised this Easter
God Bless You All !
Prya i will grow in Jesus and i will shake of all the earthly desires to be able to be with Christ

hey...
my story's kinda different...
i was and "still am" born n staying in a staunch hindu family, where the weird looking idols r all im supposed to worship...
my brother was saved before me n since hee was a great inspiration in my life n i aspired to be like him, i "investigated" into the topic...
some of my brother's friends n he also preached to me...i guess they prayed for me too...
then there was one of my brother's friends who asked me one day, "what r u doin in the "i am saved community"? i told him i dont know... n that i was confused...
he told me he wanted to speak with me that evening...
it was raining that afternoon...
my bro's frnd, aabhas prayed to the lord & asked him .. plz i hope it stops raining, i realy want to meet this boy.. god said"don worry, it will be so"
it stopped raining & that day i met him...
he gave me the gospel of god n told me to taste god n then believe in him...
the next day i asked god...god i wanna feel u..
i closed my eyes, n i felt his robes on my back & his hand on my head...the room was filled with light...
i was almost shocked!
from that day, i was saved...
now, im trying really hard to read the word of god, plz pray for me...for i want to but i cant with my family arnd...
may god bless all of us!
amen
AJAY
