People of Lemmy, have you ever had what some would consider a "spiritual" experience? (lemm.ee)

That’s how I felt growing up in the church until about last year. You can’t feel the holy spirit unless you give up all of the sin in your life to Jesus.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭

People can be born in the church, but Jesus said you must be born again. Only then will the Holy Spirit live inside you.
