Any Emerging Christians on Here? Can you tell me how you came to view this way?

I'm emerging. I know I'm going to get a whole lot of crap from other Christians saying I'm a heretic/hypocrite. Yes I believe in Jesus as my savior and that he died and literally rose again.

    I was a Pagan. Last month a woman died in my arms from a heart attack. I then felt a hand on my left shoulder. I grabbed the woman and said lady wake up and I shook her. She all of a sudden started to breathe and she came back to life. I did this in a room full of people. I asked who touched me and no one saw anyone touch me. I cannot bring people back to life. I have only heard of one man who has. Jesus Christ. I am now apart of a church and I have decided to get baptized.
