>>You seem to believe that you have to receive Christ into your life more than once.
Or do I misunderstand?<<
Yes, you do.
We have the privilege of receiving Him anew every time He comes into us and His grace that goes along with it.
It’s amazing and I love it!
Don’t some Protestants get a big kick out of the Holy Spirit coming upon them over and over again? Isn’t once enough?

It’s never enough, although many of us tend to believe that we need not be saved more than once, or that when you experience the Holy Spirit, you are being born again...again. One of these days I need to sit down with a “Catholicism for Dummies” handbook. I would never convert, but I do love to study things that puzzle me and that sort of guide is about my speed. I’ve read some links from some Catholic FReepers, but most of it is kind of dry. I almost feel like I need a college education to understand it all.
No, once is not enough because we ‘leak.’ (smile)
