Wanda SmithBorn Again: September 1966 Her TestimonyI was saved when I was 15 years old. I do not remember being under conviction until that night, but I was so burdened during the altar call that I knew I had to ask the Lord to forgive me of my sins and save me. I went to the altar and it wasn't long until I felt so very happy and peaceful. I knew I had been saved. I was baptized and joined Cowell's Chapel Methodist Church. Some time later I attended Independent Baptist Church with Brent. I would hear people give their testimonies of salvation and I began wondering about my own experience. I prayed for the Lord to let me know about my salvation. I was always led back to Cowell's Chapel and that glorious feeling I had experienced at the altar. I joined Independent and was baptized in July of 1973.

Brent SmithBorn Again: March 1963 His TestimonyI was blessed beyond measure by having Christian parents and grandparents
who took me to church even as an infant. I had heard the gospel preached
all my life, but God began to convict me of my sins when I accidentally
touched the stove. I realized that if the pain from such a small burn was
that bad, it would be a terrible torment to die and go to hell and live
forever in an eternal flame of fire. Shortly thereafter, at a weekend revival
at Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Benton County, Tennessee,
the weight of condemnation was so great that I fell at the altar and begged
God to forgive me of my sins. Suddenly, I felt relief. The burden of sin
had been lifted. I was gloriously saved that night in March of 1963 and
I know I have an eternal home waiting for me in heaven.
