God made two promises.(In Hebrews 6)
In order to make it more trustworthy and official-sounding he sealed his promises with an oath. He swore not "on a stack of Bibles" nor on "his mother's grave" as we have heard people do, HE SWORE ON HIMSELF...Hebrews 6.
God cared so much that we would believe His Word that he came down to our verbal level and SWORE that he would keep his Word.
People let us down...all the time. They say one thing and do another. Businesses let us down. We have become a society suffering from mistrust.
I recently heard a friend telling of her home country where they have had to resort to hiring armed guards to patrol her fenced (gated) community to keep them safe. She chooses not to live there. Those that live within the fence have imprisoned themselves for safety. People cannot be trusted.
God has promised to bless us as his children and to multiply our lives. He swore he would. How much more proof do we need? He cannot lie. God will bless and multiply your life.

Let's play Simon Says...
Games are fun, especially when people desire to play and are willing to play by the rules.
I looked this up on eHOW.com.
How to Play Simon Says....
Instructions
The Basics
1 Line up the group across from you, 10 to 20 feet away.
2 Tell the players that they should all obey you if you first say the words "Simon says."
3 Tell them that they are out of the game if they follow an order that doesn't begin with "Simon says," or if they fail to do what Simon says to do.
4 Begin by saying something like, "Simon says, put your hands on your head."
5 Look to make sure everybody has put their hands on their heads.
6 Give another order such as, "Simon says, stand on one foot." Check again.
7 Continue giving orders. Mix it up and say something like, "Raise your right hand," without the preface "Simon says."
8 Call out the players who raise their hands.
9 Play until one person is left. This is the winner.
10 Let that person give the commands for the next round.
And now let's play a game where the prize has eternal value:
Simon was the first preacher to address the crowd that had gathered in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost where the early Christians were filled with the Holy Ghost.
Listen to his commands and see if you could win "the game".
1. Simon (Peter) says, "Repent"
2. Simon (Peter) says, "Be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins"
3. Simon (Peter) says, "And ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
Read the rest of the text in Acts of the Apostles chapter 2....
I find that so many Christians trust the directions on how to be saved and born again from people that are not even quoting the Bible. They take scriptures out of context, they say, "Accept Jesus as your personal saviour", which is NOT EVEN IN THE BIBLE. No where did Jesus or the Apostles ever tell the unsaved to accept Jesus!
If you really want to know how it was done, follow the example of the Apostles; do what they did.
they repented...
they were water baptized in Jesus' name...
they spoke with tongues as the Spirit game them utterance....
if you want to know more...
I suggest you open this pdf....
