"WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN? " †"†"†

I BELIEVE IN THE ONE TRUE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISSAC, AND JACOB! "†" I BELIEVE GOD IS CREATOR OF ALL GOOD THINGS! "†" I BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A GOOD GOD! "†" I BELIEVE THAT HE CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE THROUGH ADAM AND EVE(THE 1ST MAN AND WOMAN THAT GOD CREATED). "†" I BELIEVE THAT GOD GAVE AND GIVES MAN THE CHOICE TO DO GOOD OR EVIL! "†" MAN DRIFTED FROM GOD AND GOD SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST TO EARTH THROUGH A VIRGIN BIRTH OF MARY, WHO GOD IMPREGINATED WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT! "†" JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, LIVED A SINLESS LIFE AND TAUGHT OTHERS TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS, AND TO TRUST AND BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR, THAT THEY MAY BE SAVED FROM HELL! "†" I BELIEVE THOSE WHO REJECT JESUS AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR WILL CONDEM THEMSELVES TO HELL! "†" I HAVE CHOSEN TO REPENT OF MY SINS AND TRUST AND BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR! "†" I BELIEVE THAT THOSE WHO REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND TRUST IN, AND BELIEVE IN JESUS AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR WILL SPEND ETERNITY IN HEAVEN WITH GOD, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER AND JESUS CHRIST HIS SON! "†" THEREFORE WE THAT BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD, AND TRUST HIM AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, AND REPENT OF OUR SINS WILL BE SAVED FROM HELL! "†" THEREFORE AS FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST, WE ARE CALLED CHRISTIANS! "†" JOHN 3:16, MATTHEW28:19-20 "GOD" BLESS YOU! LOVE AND PRAYERS ALWAYS, ALLEN (-;

'MY TESTIMONY" FEB. 11, 2006 BORN FORREST ALLEN DISHMAN ON AUG. 11, 1955 IN FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. I AM THE BABY OF MY FAMILY. (-; I HAVE A BROTHER THAT IS 64 YEARS OLD AND A SISTER THAT IS SOON TO BE 54 YEARS OLD! I WAS BORN OF CHRISTIAN PARENTS! I GREW UP IN A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH AND A CHRISTIAN HOME THAT TAUGHT JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR! MY FAMILY AND I MOVED BACK TO OUR ORIGINAL HOME IN ANNISTON, ALABAMA WHEN I WAS ABOUT A MONTH OLD! SO ANNISTON, ALABAMA IS HOME TO ME! I GREW UP IN A SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH THAT TAUGHT THAT JESUS LOVES EVERYONE AND DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ALL OF OUR SINS! I GAVE MY HEART AND SOUL TO JESUS CHRIST AT THE AGE OF 7 YEARS OLD! I WAS SAVED AND BAPTISED IN FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF ANNISTON, ALABAMA! AS I GREW IN A CHRISTIAN HOME AND CHURCH, I BEGAN TO DRIFT FROM GOD AND GOT MIXED UP IN DRINKING AND PARTYING WITH OTHER TEENAGERS AT THE AGE OF 14....... I KNEW THAT WHAT I WAS DOING WAS WRONG, YET I CONTINUED TO GO AGAINST GOD'S WILL! THE DRIFTING FROM GOD CAUGHT UP WITH ME ON OCTOBER 17, 1970, AS ME AND TWO OTHER TEENAGERS HAD A TERRIBLE AUTO ACCIDENT WHILE DRINKING........WE HIT A TREE AND HAD TO BE CUT FROM THE AUTO DUE TO THE MANGELED VEHICLE. I WAS RENDERED UNCONCHIOUS AS SOON AS WE HIT THE TREE! I WAS IN A COMMA FOR 10-DAYS! I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING A TREE OR DRIVING TOWARD A TREE! AS I LAY IN THE HOSPITAL IN A COMMA, THE DOCTORS TOLD MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT I MAY NOT COME OUT OF THE COMA, AND IF I DID WAKE FROM THE COMA I MIGHT BE A VEGETABLE! I SUFFERED A SEVERED SPINE, CRUSHED CHEST, INTERNAL INJURIES, BROKE RIGHT WRIST, BROKE NOSE, AND LOOSTENED MY TEETH! THERE WERE MANY PRAYERS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY DURING MY STAY IN THE HOSPITAL! PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE NATION WERE SENDING CARDS AND LETTERS OF PRAYER AND INSPIRATION TO MY MOM AND DAD! EVEN PEOPLE FROM THE HOLY LAND SENT ME A PRAYER CLOTH! WHEN I WOKE FROM THE COMA ON THE 11TH DAY, I HAD TUBES IN MY NOSE, THROAT, SIDE, AND WHO KNOWS WHERE ELSE! I REMEMBER A DOCTOR COMING TO THE FOOT OF MY BED AND ASKING ME QUESTIONS TO TEST MY MENTAL ABILITY! HE ASKED ME MY NAME, MY MOTHER AND DAD'S NAME, HE ASKED ME WHAT 2 PLUS 2 WAS, AND SOME OTHER SIMPLE QUESTIONS! I GOT ALL THE ANSWERS RIGHT AND FORTUNATELY HAD NO BRAIN DAMAGE! AFTER 3-MONTHS OF RECOVERY AT THE HOSPITAL, I WAS TRANSFERRED TO A REHABILITATION CENTER IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA! THERE I LEARNED TO LIVE IN A WHEELCHAIR! I WAS AND AM A FIGHTER AND AM DETERMINED TO BETTER MYSELF, SO I WAS ROLLING IN A WHEELCHAIR AND DOING THINGS THAT THE HEAD DOCTOR TOLD ME HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BY SOMEONE WITH A SPINE AS BADLY DAMAGED AS MINE! AFTER 3-MONTHS OF VERY GOOD THERAPY AT THE REHAB CENTER, I WAS READY TO GO HOME! I WENT HOME, STILL HAD MY SAME GOOD FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND I STARTED RIGHT BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL IN A WHEELCHAIR! I TURNED 16-AS SOON AS SCHOOL STARTED BACK IN AUG. OF 1971, SO I GOT A CAR AND STARTED DRIVING WITH HAND CONTROLS! I FISHED, PLAYED WHEELCHAIR SPORTS, WENT CAMPING A LOT WITH MY FRIENDS, AND ENJOYED LIFE FROM A WHEELCHAIR! I KNEW THAT IF IT WERE NOT FOR GOD AND THE MANY ANSWERED PRAYERS FROM SO MANY PEOPLE, THAT I WOULD BE IN A COMA OR DEAD! I DEPENDED ON GOD UP TO THIS VERY DAY! I MARRIED A LADY THAT I TRULY FELL IN LOVE WITH AT THE AGE OF 21.......SHE WAS 19 AND HAD ALSO GIVEN HER HEART AND SOUL TO JESUS CHRIST BEFORE WE MARRIED! BEFORE WE MARRIED, BEING A PARAPLEGIC, I TOLD THIS YOUNG LADY THAT I LOVED, THAT I PROBABLY COULD NOT HAVE CHILDREN, AND WOULD PROBABLY NOT EVER WALK AGAIN ON THIS EARTH! I TRIED TO TALK HER OUT OF MARRYING ME! SHE INSISTED THAT SHE LOVED ME FOR WHAT I CAN DO, AND NOT FOR WHAT I CAN'T DO! WE MARRIED IN 1976 AND HAD SOME VERY GOOD TIMES TOGETHER BUT THE MARRIAGE JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT! AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 10-YEARS AND 7-MONTHS, WE DIVORCED! GOD HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME AND I'M TRYING TO LIVE FOR JESUS EVERYDAY! THE LORD MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET A VAN IN AUGUST OF 2004, SO I CAN DRIVE MYSELF ANYWHERE! SO I GO GROCERY SHOPPING AND SHOPPING FOR WHAT I NEED! I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MYSELF AND EXERCISE EVERYDAY! I AM BLESSED WITH GOOD NEIGHBORS AND GOOD FAMILY AND A GOOD CHURCH! WELL, I GUESS THAT IS ABOUT ALL FOR MY TESTIMONY IN THIS SHORT VERSION! (-; HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED MY TESTIMONY AND THAT YOU WILL BE BLESSED BY WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR ME! MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL! LOVE AND PRAYERS, ALLEN (-;
