TESTIMONY:
In 1975, I became a single parent. I
was a Los Angeles policeman. In 1977, I left the department and became a private
investigator and police coordinator on location filming in Hollywood. I did not attend
church. But did not believe that I was God of my own universe according to some New Age
(EST now Forum, by Jack Rosenburg, AKA: Werner Erhart) training I had attended.
On a Sunday morning in September 1979, my daughter asked me if she could go outside and
play. I said, "Yes." As I watched her walk out of the living-room to the front
yard, I realized that I did not create her from an erector set or form her with my hands.
I knew in my heart there was a God but never considered who He might be. The supreme being
(I was a Free Mason). I started to talk out loud, "Oh, God. Here I sit feeling sorry
for myself when you have given me my daughter. She is healthy and to me she is beautiful.
I have a home and a refrigerator that is full of food. What more could I ask for. Thank
you."
Instantly, in the twinkle of an eye, I was caught up into the light. I was in the Spirit.
Running-set free. Absolute freedom, love, joy and peace. I was crying and laughing at the
same time in absolute joy. I was running like a calf released from the stall. Then the
light spoke, "Come with Me." Instantly, I knew the voice of the Light to be
"the Rock" (Hebrew: Tsur, One (Mighty) God). I continued to run as fast as I
could. I marveled. There was no pain, I was not tired, I touched myself in disbelief to
see if this was real. I was feeling absolute love, peace, and joy. Then the light spoke
again, "Come with Me." This time, I knew that voice of the Light was Jesus. I
knew that he has all power, all authority. It caused me to stop in my tracks. I was afraid
yet felt free to speak. I said, "I'm not ready."
Instantly, I was back in my living-room in shock. Then I felt myself being lifted from the
couch and started walking across the room to turn on the television. I thought, "What
am I doing?" The room was full of an awesome power. My body was charged. I could feel
electricity running though me. Now I know it was the Holy Spirit. When I turned on the
television, I saw a football stadium full of people shouting, laughing, waving at the
camera. My eyes were opened spiritually. I could see each and everyone through their eyes.
As if I was looking into their souls. I felt love for them all. Then I realized that God
was showing me how he loves us all. I could feel His love. Then it dawned on me that He
loved me too. I said to myself, "He loves me too." I knelt down and started to
cry.
Several weeks later, I was working on a movie at Zuma beach with seven retired and active
Los Angeles policemen on motorcycles. We were about to get off work when I told them what
had happened when I was caught up into the Light. One believed me. He invited me to his
home because he wanted to give me something. When we got there he went into the house and
returned with a book. It was the Bible. He gave it to me and invited me to church. That
next Sunday I was there. I could feel the pulling of the Holy Spirit! It was in my chest.
I felt like crying. When the service started, the first song they sang was Emanuel-God
with us. Then I knew that Jesus is god.
A few weeks later, I was working on Stir Crazy with Richard Pryor at the Lincoln Heights
jail. We were having a Bible study with some teamsters and I had been witnessing to Pryor.
We took a break for lunch. The food was the best Hollywood could produce. I told the
camera man that I would watch his camera while he went to eat. I placed my tray on a small
ladder and thanked God for my food. I was overwhelmed with the power of the Holy Spirit. I
looked up and saw Jesus coming toward me. I said, "Partake of my lunch with me in
love." I waved a greeting and said, "Hi. How are you." Then he was gone
(Revelation 3:20). One of the teamsters showed me Mark 16:16. Then I felt conviction. I
knew that I must make the commitment and be baptized lest I be damned. I called the church
and inquired, "What must I do to be baptized." That Sunday I went to 'Church On
The Way', Van Nuys, California, with my daughter. I testified that Jesus had spoken to me
and I read Mark 16:16. I was baptized with the minister reciting Matthew 28:19, "I
baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
My daughter and I were escorted to a prayer room where a family prayed
with me and laid on hands. I received the Holy Spirit speaking in
tongues as the spirit gave the utterance. When I was attending their
new converts class I disagreed with their Trinitarian doctrine and
recited Isaiah 9:6, "Unto us a child is born and the government
shall be upon His shoulders and His name shall be called the wonderful
counselor, mighty God, ever lasting father and prince of peace."
Two years later, I visited my parents in O'Olitic, Indiana. They were
ill and I felt the Lord wanted me to move to Indiana. He proved it
was his will by all of the doors he opened for me to get there. O'Olitic
(Greek: fish roe in the stone- i.e., limestone looks like compressed
fish eggs). Jesus told Peter He was going to make him a fisher of
men.
A few weeks later, I went to a small county church that was having a revival. I testified
that Jesus is God. They believed me. That was the first time someone did. I felt relieved,
I was not the only one. I heard for the first time about being baptized in Jesus' name.
Being an investigator I decided to check it out. I went to the Bedford public library and
researched baptism. According to history and scripture there is only one baptism, i.e., in
Jesus' name (Acts 4:12). Then Donnie and Phyllis invited me to their home for supper where
they explained the word more accurately to me (Acts 2:38). I went back to the apostolic
church and said, "Baptize me in Jesus' name." JCM
