So, ya.

Today was the first day of my baptism lessons with Pastor DB.

Today was about the gospel.

He went to my blog and saw the paragraph I wrote. here.

I have only been a Christian since going to OCBC, so I have learned mostly from him, so a lot of that paragraph was what he wanted to hear / wanted me to know. There were a couple things he pointed out that I shall note here.

1. Jesus was man and God. He was just like us, but he relied on God for every move and relied on the holy spirits power to do miracles. We have the same holy spirit, we have the same struggles, we have the same mission. [We are the smae in every way except that he is man AND god.]

2. "Drawing from the power he has given us, relying on it everyday, turning away from sin and professing Jesus as Lord over our lives we can be born again with new life." The way I phrased that is incorrect, although I sometimes feel this way. We do not have to work towards our salvation. Our salvation was bought when Jesus died on the cross. After we believe we are justified. The struggle and working to become better comes after we have been justified. We know we are saved, so we fight to live better lives that will reflect what Jesus has done for us, we don't change our lives so that we can be saved, we change our lives bcause we have been saved. Once we die, we go to heaven and are no longer struggling against sin because it isn't there anymore.

Apparently CC cheated. xP

Anyway. Tommorow is about baptism.

I feel that the importance of baptism is about showing to everyone your willingness to serve God. I mean, if you can't stand in front of a crowd of people and say you believe in Jesus and the gospel, how can you hope to tell everyone about it..?

Of course it's also about your old self dying and being born again with the holy spirit, but that happens without a ceremony. I mean if you actually do believe in it all, the holy spirit is in you and you will start living a new life, right..?

So, ya.

I'm watching this drama. Each episode is the same length as an episode of anime and it is actually based off an anime. xP an anime I have watched. MOYASHIMON! YAY! The difference is clearly a different focus and the fact that it's live action. The drama is focussing more on the drama, duh, while the anime focused more on the actual plot.

Here's the opening and ending. I like the opening (now anyways) the ending is kinda annoying, but educational. lol.:



I think I'm moving on the 30th, fyi.

ttyl.
