I was very surprised the other day to find out that there are two kinds of believers. One which does not remember when they started believing and the other who remember exactly the moment they first believed. The one kind maybe believed before they were able to make a decision and the other decided when they still were unbelievers. They both profess that Jesus Christ is the lord and savior of their life but one has the distinct impression that it was by grace that they were saved and the other can't quite understand this amazing grace. When these two types run into each other , they sometimes have trouble relating and sometimes the sparks fly. One type calls themselves born again believers and the other calls themselves believers but they are mixed in all kinds of churches and denominations with various degrees of friction or lack thereof. Which kind are you?
