As St. Peter said in St. John’s Gospel “Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life”

I’ll trust Christ and His Holy Mysteries (all 7, mind you) over anyone else’s. His Church has the fullness of Truth, not the Archbishop of Canterbury, nor Wesley, nor Calvin, nor Luther, nor Joseph Smith.

The truth of His Church is there. It was the collapse of orthodoxy in Protestantism as a whole that made me search for the truth. Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, and others are dangerous doctrines that cannot save. God shook me and He shook me hard to come Home, and I did!

I’m a revert. After a decade of trying to find truth as a young adult in my 20’s, I kept turning from the very real truth that I always knew rejecting it just because I didn’t find it out myself (God bless my parents for having raised me Catholic).

I’m amazed at how similar my story is to converts’ stories. I always found it fascinating that God would speak to a convert and a revert in the same way.

I was baptized as an infant,so I was physically born again right after I was born literally.

But I was born again spiritually when I was confirmed. I literally felt The Holy Spirit descend upon my body. There was no fanfare, not great acrobatics…it was just a secure sense of assuredness, this “knowing” that came over me that I was right to come back home like The Prodigal Son that I was.

Welcome home. :hug3:
 
My Faith Journey started again as an adult. In my job I toured a prison in 1994. When we walked through the death house a feeling of unmistakable evil came over me. I reached out to a co-worker who made the sign of the cross and we held hands all the way through there. When we walked outside I felt very ill. This experiance made me start to question all of my beliefs and I started looking for answers. Long story short, in 1998 while going thru a divorce, I was invited to attend a Catholic Church. I started getting real answers and in 2005 converted. I have real answers to questions about sanctity of life, family, and Jesus.
In my childhood religion (LDS) the only thing that ever rang true for me was faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus. The other stuff only left me asking questions and I left that church as a young adult and was lost for many years.
I am so thankful to my friend, now husband, that reached out to me and invited me to go to church with him.

basically i was dragged back kickin and screaming but my pastor truly showed me the face of Christ.once i woke up to who i am after i was baptised (i was baptised as an infant and forgot who i was)everything fell into place…now i no longer beleive in the Eucharist but instead i know the Eucharist.
 
After no faith upbringing, and then a powerful conversion to Christ in Jan 1993 in jail, I went to over 18 denominations of Bible churches and found 18 different and contradicting takes on major doctrines. I looked to early church history for the one church Christ promised He would lead into all Truth by the Paraclete. I found the last thing I expected, and fought God for three years of study and then came home across the Tiber in 1998.
