no,this is totally a spiritual rebirth in confessing Jesus as lord of all.all your past sins are washed away  in baptism of the holy spirit.it is kinda a confession in some religions or a cleansing in others.

Being a Christian means you admit you are a sinner, so you don.t really become a better Christian. Once you accept Jesus you are justified to GOD so that is as good as it gets. \n\nDoing some of the thing above may make you a happier Christian, You are able to grow in knowing GOD and having a closer more fufilling relationship. \n\nIn every relationship spending time together makes it more fun. Same thing with GOD, prayer and obedience makes Christianity more fulfilling.\n\nAlso Dont buy the snake oil the Joseph smith guy was trying to sell you!

I am a Christian already... I just feel Christ presence and I have faith in Him. I read the Bible and pray to God constantly and helps me strengthen my faith in Him. I also listen to Him.. listen to God and contemplating in His words really helps alot... Christ did something so wonderful to me... He saved me from ALL my unrighteousness... but not just ME but to you also...to all of us... and the good news is Christ is coming again to take us to heaven and would give us a new earth and a new life where there will be no more tears and no more failures and heartaches.. that's how wonderful to have Jesus in your life...

no if u r a real christian then u would know that being a christian means accepting christ as your lord and savior and trying your best to be christ like and you will be saved as long as u truly repent. If you are a christian, then you shall not go to hell. The Bible teaches us that only those who have not been saved and have not accepted christ as our lord and savior will be doomed to eternal damnation

Christian means follower of Christ, you can and are encouraged to follow Christs example where ever. So you can be a Christian no matter where you are, church or otherwise. I believe God hears prayers everywhere, even outside of church. If you believe that salvation is through baptism then you should really look again, because you need to admit you are a sinner, that Jesus Christ lived a perfect life then died on the cross for our sins, then rose the thrid day, conquering death, accept Jesus into your heart as your pass into heaven and salvation from Hell. Baptism is something God wants you to do (also the Lords Supper) but it is not what gets you saved, because there is no work that can save you. Salvation is the free gift of God, not of works "lest any man should boast". Church is a good idea, so you might grow in your faith and not feel so alone as a Christian, but like i said up top, not the only way to be a Christian. Some people are in the pews everytime the door is open and are not Christians, others never darken the doorstep and are. As to the age group thing, there are a lot of different churches out there, some with all sorts of age groups.

God gave every one a "holy" spirit in the beginning (birth) ... until you turn away from Him. It means, everybody has His given spirit and of course He wants to retrieve back all His people to live with Him in paradise.\nSo, He understand well, that when you were led astray earlier, means you were just misled by parents, friends & environment or un-exposed, or un-introduced about the goodness and truth about God. God will be very patient in guiding you, waiting for your understanding to develop and He will send people inviting you to accept God in your heart.\nWhen you were led astray in later years with well developed intellectual and analytical prowess... it just means...you willingly choose evil than goodness... or satan than God (whom God was deeply hurt)... or choose eternal burning of your spirit in hell  than  eternal happiness with us in heaven.  \n...but God will always try to forgive you...\nSo, be sure if you`ll come back to God...it comes from the bottom of your heart, make Him happy this time, make Him smile in every action you make, let Him felt satisfied and happy to witness that you willingly choose Him over Satan, in every seconds of your life...\n...and your forgiveness will become very, very, very meaningful.\nB e                  B l e s s e d   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A born again christian is a member of a Protestant church that is usually a fundamentalist church. They feel that the only way to have a personal relationship with Jesus is to ask him to come into their hearts in a semi-formal method often in church when they have what is called an "altar call".  The person repents of their past sins, accepts Jesus as their personal savior and promises to amend their life and follow Jesus from that moment on. Now for the dark side. They also tend to think that the only true Christian is a "born again" Christian. \n\nOther committed Christians follow a different POV. We follow Jesus, repent of our sins and amend our lives too.  We make Jesus the center of our life. What we don't' do is annoy the hell (literally or figuratively) out of non-believers by trying to "save" them.\n\nSorry, if this was a bit harsh. But I think it gets the distinction across.

yeh i have wondered this so many times. You would not be reunited with it in the after life, as we will not take the same physical form as what we have here on earth, our bodies remain, our spirit departs at death. individual body parts do not have a spirit. your spirit remains. i think, not sure though, perhaps what these verses mean are more symbolic. If the internet is causing you to sin, via porn and chats, get rid of it. if you tv causes you to sin, don't watch it. whatever is hindering you in the physical to live clean life, then try to inlfuence it and possibly get rid of it so that you no longer struggle with it.\n\nHope taht helps

Porn is a sin against God (Lusting after a woman is just the same as having sex with her hence the sin of adultery or fornication)  and it also provokes un realistic expectations in the people watching it.  Example if their wife is not like the porn queen then a man is not satisfied with her.  It is also a form of prostitucion, in that women are selling pictures of themselves.  It is degrading to the women in that it isn't important who or what they are, the person just wants to see them naked.  People who do this eventually get to the point that the whole focus of their lives is sex and they are never satisfied with what they have.  It also carries with it the danger of demonic spirits that will ruin your life.  And at the end of your life here on earth you can look forward to eternity without God.  If we were governed by the Bible in our sex lives then AIDS would just disappear on its own.  God means for us to be happy and his rules lead to health and happiness in our lives.

hi! heres what i think and what the bible says about your situation:\n\nromans 5:3 3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope.\n\nGOD doesnt say that once you are a believer, all your problems will be solved. but he assures us that the trials that we go through will help develop our character and molds us to be better christians.\n\n1 peter 4:12-13,16 12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. \n16However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. \n\nTHIS just assures us all the more that as christians we will not be freed from problems. and Jesus even encourages us to rejoice when we experience these things in life.\n\n1 Corinthians 10:13 13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.\n\nTHIS does not only pertain to temptations but also problems and anything in life. it says that God will not give us anything that we cannot carry. but when he knows we cannot do it alone anymore, he will still help us out.\n\nGOD hears your prayers, he hears all our prayers. as ive mentioned, being a child of God doesnt exempt us from having problems. i think the question now is if you trust the Lord that he hears you. the way i see it, maybe the Lord allows these things to make your faith in him stronger and be more trusting in his power over your life. maybe when you pray you just pray without trusting. so maybe you should also evaluate yourself when you pray and speak to God. reading the bible is also important in knowing Gods will for you and how he wants to work in your life.\n\ni hope all this helps you :)

First, remember that the Bible is a message of restoration (both between men and between God and men) and should be looked upon as guidelines for maintaining a peaceful life and reconciling life to peace in times of conflict.\n\nunfortunately, your husband has fallen into an addiction that is not easily broken.  Men fight great battles trying to overcome their flesh in this way, and as a wife, while i am sure it is a painful situation, you have to understand that it is painful for him as well.  If it were just a pornography issue, i would say that it is not a grounds for divorce because Christ uses the word "fornication" which i would suppose implies an act involving another person.  That's just me.\n\nHowever, once you bring into this equation the idea that he has cheated, you bring in a justified cause and grounds for divorce.  \n\nI think what you really need to realize is this:  If you are trying to justify a carnal desire for divorce (and trying to justify that desire with God's word), then you cannot keep a good conscience about this.  On the other hand, if you are truly seeking and desiring what is best for your family, then after much prayer, i would consider following through.\n\nLook for true repentance in his heart, and if there is no fruit of any, you have no choice but to divorce.

Is this the way to offer their respect?\nWhat Christian figure will come out of the closet next? Jesus?\nor this from the CPT.\nTHE CPT: So if you become a born-again Christian, you basically got brainwashed in drug rehab?\nAll the born-again christians I know used to do drugs, went to rehab, and currently walk around homeless with 'crazy eyes' asking for change..... \n\nIt just keeps up that way all the time. If that's what they mean by respect they can just confess that they hate us...  Jim

My husband preaches surmons like these, very good question. Well, Christian by definition is: to be Christ like. Which we all fail at sometimes.\n\nHow will people know? Jesus said "By this they (meaning the world) will know that you are my disciples, because of the love that you have for the brethren." Meaning the way christians are "suppose to" treat, and show love toward one another, should be a difference, unconditional, than the love of the world, which is, conditional. You know what I've found out though? That there is a lot of the world in the church now- a-days!\n\nThe evidence would be the "fruit that you bare" meaning that a corrupt tree can't bare good fruit, neither can a good tree bare corrupt fruit. Salt and fresh water, can't come out of the same spout, it's either salt or fresh, so if a person is a christian then they will be governed by the word of God. You should be able to see jesus, in there actions. \n\nA very small example of this would be if somebody does something to you, and you know they were wrong, yet, you make the first step and apologize even if they don't. Not because you did something wrong, because they did. But you try to make peace, where ever possible, and take the first step. People will think your a fool, but see, that's the worlds thinking, to be christ like you would give up your right to be right, and apologize just to reconcile with them. Even if they don't.\n\nOur philosophy is different and causes a person to have to die to their flesh, or themselves, or their pride. \n\nTo really make a difference a true (well actually a mature christian, because you can be a true christian that hasn't matured yet, it doesn't mean that your not saved, it takes time for a person to grow to the level of humility, and not always trying to make a name for themselves or be popular in this life!) must be a humble christian, meek, not weak, you can stand up for what's right, but , if humbling yourself will make a difference for the better in the end, then do that, rather than prove your point. \n\nYou'd have to use discernment and wisdom in order to know the difference at that time.

a born again Christian is just a term that people use as an illustration. the picture they are trying to represent is that when you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, you make a commitment ot try and follow Him as much as possible, so in a sense you are "dying" as a sinner without forgiveness, and being "born again" as a new believer that should try to live a different (better) life, because you have realized how much God did for you.

Please, forget about the bible and all that crap, masturbation is a throughly natural human response. You will not go to hell for it and it will not make you a sex maniac.
