In high school I put the Bible down after a few minutes, finding no relevance to my existence. Same in college until someone said ask God to open your eyes to see it, which I did. Then, I saw it was true. Then the Spirit of peace love and joy was mine. Then I was baptized in water. About four years later I was baptized in that Spirit. I mean submerged...awash..enveloped. I think that was the second birth.
