What was your first religious and spiritual memory? (grace, hell, church)

[AmberDaviesx]

Saw a post about on Facebook and thought I start a thread about it

I went to a Christian based primary school where we used to go to church every Monday so that was my first memory.

This is definitely not a thread for me.

Being forced to go to hell (Sunday school).

Standing in a field in the summer at 8 years old when suddenly I was given a transcendent experience.
Now, I would say many things about it: It was a few minutes of Cosmic Consciousness,
it was Amazing Grace that opened
my mind/brain to previously asleep/dormant areas?
God infused me with seeing Reality...the Truth of this place...that being...!!!...this place isn't real..
just looks like it..it's really like a dream.
(I have since been given that experience many, many times, btw...No drugs.)

I would now say...it's like looking at a chair....then looking at the same chair under an EM microscope...
it's not really a chair...it certainly appears to be one, tho.

That was pretty darn spiritual.

Also younger hearing Music of the Spheres, Celestial Harmonies...

NO, what am I thinking?!
It was being in the play pen ..able to sorta stand up, kinda....18 months?
Looking at 'things' floating...not knowing what sort of place I was in...what were these 'things'
floating in front of me...I rem one was rounded one door 50s refrigerator and some other white appliance.
I have a high regard as to what brings 2 objects together here...each as if flung outta space...
the odds of falling in love with that other is amazing.

do I have to use her real name ??

As a small child I was taken to Hell to watch people being judged & thrown into the lake of fire. I watched men & women burning in agony & screaming for mercy. Also as a child I was frequently taken by an angel to see the flaming sword that keeps people away from The Tree of Eternal Life.

I grew up in an atheist family who never mentioned God or religion except to mock it.

One day I was walking past an old cemetery & the sky opened & golden light flooded all around me & 'The Father God appeared & transformed me into a completely new person.

I have experienced thousands of miracles & visitations from God throughout my life.

I believe religions need to be updated because God Is A Living Person who interacts with people throughout the world daily, & not just something someone wrote in an old book long ago.

What are your thoughts on the non- Christian religions?
Do they have a chance of being saved?
On the OP my earliest memories were singing hymns and preparing for my First Communion.

I dabbled into the occult and did not think this was real , where I got my house haunted by wicked fallen angels who would make noises and blow out light bulbs , move things around , and even steal things in my house , were it made me mad where I remembered that Jesus delivered spirits as was the only one to do this were then I began to believe in Jesus and then got saved to Christ, and Jesus delivered my house from these menace
