How do you know?
I was in the UPCI church for 10 years, I dated a girl in highschool that wasn’t in the church and I was actually able to “flirt to convert”. She was so open to going deeper with her relationship with God. We have left a year ago since we had our first child, our son has changed our perspective on how we want to raise him. We were both extremely involved in church ministry and it was such a hard time for us to leave the church.
We had a few very bad experiences that scared us both and hurt our marriage over the years now. What we are currently struggling with is this simple thought, how do you know?
How do you know if it was emotionalism or an actual miracle or true word from God?
How do you know if your calling was made up or if God really told you what his plans are for you?
How do you find a church that still believes in miracles that’s also healthy?
How do you start over? How do you pray again without feeling the shame that you’re not saved?
Anyways, probably going to keep this vague. I hope someone has some insight
