I’m “born again” every time I participate in the Eucharist in the presence of Jesus Christ. Can’t get any closer than a “personal relationship” with Jesus than that.
Instead of listening to Jimmy Swaggart I would suggest you pick up a copy of the Cathecism of the Catholic Church and read it. It will open your eyes. Catholics have been preaching the word of God for 2,0000 years. Don’t need any advice on the Lord from someone who follows a faith started by a mortal man a couple of hundred years ago, or was it 20 years ago?
Oh, NKP, why, oh why do you cling to that Eucharist stuff? If that is what you consider having a personal relationship with Christ, then I truly feel for you. It is so much more than that.
It is walking and talking and hearing from Him. It is a wonderful vibrant thing. It is learning to listen for His voice and being sure one knows when one has heard it.
Not Swaggart or Catholicism or any other religion has a clue.
My heart truly breaks for you.
