After this expirence Kenneth was quoted as saying вЂњI really, actually, thought I was a Christian.вЂќ However later, when he was in an evangelistic-type service he said вЂњThe Holy Spirit began to deal with me about being saved. We joined the church and were baptized in water. Since they all wanted to go to Heaven, when the invitation was given, Kenneth and several of his peers marched right down to the front and shook hands with the preacher. So the Sunday school teacher said, 'When the pastor gives the invitation this morning, you just go down to the front.вЂќ вЂњHow many of you want to go to Heaven?' Well, every one of us wanted to go to Heaven. He stated the reason he joined was because his Sunday school teacher said to all of us boys,

At 9 years of age Kenneth joined his parentвЂ™s church. Kenneth had stated that he had never heard of any Baptist say that! Being born and raised as a Southern Baptist he was inadvertently taught to feel sorry for everybody who wasn't Baptist. Upon reading he decided that Paul couldn't have been Baptist, because he said, 'I thank my God I speak with tongues' (I Corinthians 14:18). One particular day as a child, Brother Hagin decided read the teachings of the Apostil Paul. It came as a real shock k to him when he found out that they weren't. In his early childhood years Hagin was raised as a Southern Baptist, and therefore he thought the Lord Jesus Christ and all of His disciples were Southern Baptist. Hagin was miraculously healed, raised off his deathbed by the power of God and the revelation of faith in GodвЂ™s Word. In April 1933 during a dramatic conversion experience, he reported dying three times in 10 minutes, each time seeing the horrors of hell and then returning to life. He was not expected to live and became bedridden at age 15. Brother Hagin was sickly as a child, suffering from a deformed heart and what was believed to be an incurable blood disease. Hagin was born in McKinney, Texas, the son of Lillie Viola Drake Hagin and Jess Hagin. It is with this standard we call him one of Gods generals.

Through his battles with health as a young child, to his victories of overcoming incredible odds including death by one Jesus Christ, brother Hagin proved by faith over and over again the power of Gods promises in his life. With Holy Spirit revelation on who we are, rather than what we claim to be, Kenneth Hagin was one of AmericaвЂ™s most influential leaders with in the Christian church. He live out his faith in outstanding fashion, along with massive crowds following behind him, learning the ways of truth. Known to many in the body of Christ, Kenneth E Hagin was renowned by his title of the father or grandfather of faith. Because the church hasn't realized yet that they are Christ. If we ever wake up and realize who we are, we'll start doing the work that we're supposed to do. вЂњThe believer is as much an incarnation of God as Jesus Christ.
