Have you ever noticed that the bible uses three primary phrases or
words when referring to the believer's redemption? Saved
(Salvation), Born Again, and Filled with the Holy Ghost (Spirit).
Obviously all three are directly related to our submitted lives to
Jesus Christ. In many respects they are one in the same. But, are
they one in the same or simply just a play on words without
spiritual significance. Well, I think not. Nothing in the Holy word
of God is without significance; absolutely nothing. I invite you to
ask yourself these questions. Am I saved? Am I born-again? Am I
filled with the Holy Ghost (Spirit)? These are a few logical
questions. How do I know which or if all three apply to me? Are
they all the same? Is there a biblical or scriptural difference? If
there is a biblical difference, where am I? This literary piece
will help you discover where you are in the process and push you to
the fullness of your Salvation.

Illumines a unique fusion of African and Western European religious
traditions "Ain't Gonna Lay My 'Ligion Down" reveals the ways that
African Americans have "put flesh on their Christian beliefs,"
adapting the faith of their European American masters and creating
distinctive forms of religious expression. Contributors to the
volume examine specific examples of African American religious
practice and church leadership to show the remarkable degree to
which newly imported slaves preserved their African spiritual
heritage while simultaneously meshing it with Western symbols and
theological claims. The first essay in the volume explains the
historical implications and continuing significance of two
distinctive, often misunderstood components of African American
folk religion: the pray's house spirit and the distinctive
conversion ritual known as seekin' the Lord. Other essays consider
the morality of African American folktales, specifically the Brer
Rabbit tales; the symbolic and literary connections between African
traditional religions and the religious experiences of African
American women as found in the "motherwit" tradition; and the
central place "rhythm" holds in African American life as a thread
of continuity connecting life in Africa with life in the diaspora.
Two final essays explore African American folk religion by
examining the contributions of prominent nineteenth- and
twentieth-century church leaders.
