the holy ghost doesnt always let you speek in tongues. its a form of baptism that is given to you by the holy spirit. a gift for those who accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior and believes that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the remitance of our sins.when god feels you are ready for this anniontment, he will pass it on to you. remember that god doesnt give you salvation to take it away. salvation is given to you by God for eternity. trust in God and keep faith in everything in life.

April, salvation is a gift that you have to receive but I believe you can also later reject it. Look at the parable of the sower were seed was sown on different ground. Jesus said IF you remain in me I will remain in you. I would loved to believe in once saved always saved but there are just to many warnings in the bible. We still have free will once we are saved, God is not going to drag anybody into heaven. I know the devil sure doesn't give up once your saved. I also don't believe it's something that you can loose just like that for committing a sin and dieing at that moment. I believe you are in danger when you make a conscience decision to go back to the world. I believe that this is easier for a new christian than a more mature one. I don't believe a christian has to live in fear of loosing their salvation.

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   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah,\nYou sound so much like me it's scary!  \n\nI recieved the Holy Ghost when I was 11 at a Pentecostal church.  I was a faithful Pentecostal for years after that, but eventually I also made some mistakes, sinned, and also left the Pentecostal church altogether.  I stopped feeling God and I believed I had blown it with Him. Years later I met a friend who was a strong Christain and he basically took me to different churches, taught me, and helped me come back to the Lord.  \n\nIn the process I learned that God never left me.  He was with me before I was born, then He filled me with the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit never left me either.  My problem was that satan was lying to me and I was believing him.  The truth is just because we are filled with the Holy Ghost and saved, it doesn't mean we will automatically become perfect or stop sinning.  We still make mistakes and when we do we need to repent and God will forgive us. Recieving the holy Ghost does change your life, but it is a process. You don't just get it and that's it. \n\nWhen God filled you with the Holy Ghost, you began a relationship with Him. It's like when a great guy asks you out.  Now you have a great new boyfriend, so what next?  Do you just ignore him and that's it.  No, you talk to him, spend time with him, build your relationship.  The two of you also make mistakes, fight, and forgive eachother.  All the while your relationship grows and so does your love.  That's how it is with God.  The problem is satan doesn't like that and the first thing he'll do is try to condemn you. You'll make a mistake and he will tell you how horrible and non spiritual you are. Those are lies. \n\nOne of the best bits of advice I have recieved is this, "Remember God is still God no matter what happens or how you feel." He created you and knew all about you before you were born.  He also knows all of your flaws and all of the good things about you.  Even still he created you and eagerly awaited for you to accept Him so He could fill you with the Holy Ghost.  He always has and always will love you and desire a personal realtionship with you. Even now, He has not changed. He is still the same God you knew before and He still wants you back.  Whatever sins you have committed, all you have to do is confess to Him and He will forgive you.  But you have to accept his forgivness and forgive yourself.  Don't hold on to the past or mistakes.  Don't accept condemnation. You don't have to be spiritual or even good because He is. Just let him give you his love and goodness. \n\nIf you want the "feeling" again, pray and ask Him for it. (I have lost it and he gave it to me again). But the more important thing to remember is that it is more than just the feeling. God is still God weather you feel him or not.  He is just as much with you no matter how you feel.  He said "I will never leave nor forsake you." Sometimes he tests our faith by not allowing us to feel him because he wants us to believe in and trust him no matter how we feel. We really can't always rely on our senses because God is so much bigger and our senses don't give us the whole picture.\n\nThere's so much more I can tell you if you want to email me.  Just remember God will never leave you no matter what you've done. (Don't believe the lie that he has.  He hasn't.) You can still run to Him and He will forgive every sin and take away all of the bad things. Always remember He has never left and He never changes. Also don't condemn yourself when you don't feel him. Everyone goes through that.  Even Jesus himself did! Those are just the times when you have to believe and trust in him more.\n\nHope this helps and God bless.

NO you are not saved.  The Bible says, and I quote \n"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in rhine heart that God hath raised hi from the dead, thou shalt be saved". Romans 10 verse 9\n\nNow, just because I gave you a easy answer, does not mean its that easy to live saved.  there are the ten commandment that in the Bible and also the two Greatest Commandments.  you see.  God honours when you admit when you are wrong and ask for forgivenss.  When you ask, you can't make that same mistake again.  So try hard not to.\n\n\nI hope I answered you question.  If you would like to keep in touch, You could email me at \nemanishera00@yahoo.com \n\nI love you with the love of Jesus

There are gifts of the spirit descirbed in the Bible. Some preach, some teach, some prophesy, some have musical talents, some speak in tongues, etc., etc.  It does not mean you aren't saved.

If you are saved no one can seperate you from your salvation but you can renounce your salvation (not easily). Once a believer has tasted of the fruit of the Spirit and willfuly rejects their salvation. There is no going back.\n\nJohn 10:27-30\nMy sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." (NIV).\n\nHeb 6:4-6\nIt is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. (NIV)

I would go to heaven, because I have accepted Christ as my lord and savior. You see, heaven is a free gift. It is not earned and can not be deserved.  "For it is by grace that you are saved through faith. it is the gift of God, not of man, that none may boast."Eph 2 8-9 It has to be a free gift because man is a sinner. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23 Anything that is against God's will is considered sin. There are sins of thought, omission, and commission.  God gave a standard we must achieve if we wish to earn our way into heaven According to Matt 5:48, that standard  is " Be therefore perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."  That definitely leaves me out. Our God is merciful, and does not want to punish us, but He is just and must punish sin. This apparent problem was solved by Jesus - who is 100% God and 100% man. What did He do? He died on the cross, rose from the dead, and purchased a place in heaven for us. Does everyone receive this gift? No - the key to heaven is faith. Not temporal faith - like praying when you have a sick loved one , not head knowledge - many people believe that Jesus lived, much as they believe that George Washington lived. However, they are not counting on him to do anything for them today. Scripture tells us "You believe there is one God? You do well. The demons believe as much - and tremble!" James 2:9 No - the key to heaven is saving faith - asking Jesus to save you from the penalty of your sins. If this is what you want to do, ask Him to be your lord. Ask him to be your savior. Repent of your sins, and be a new creation!

Yes, I try the spirits to see if they are of God.  If you have the Holy Ghost, you can tell a good spirit from a bad one.  Your spirit will bear witness to that fact.  I truly believe you need to try the spirits.  I do believe that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh.

I pray that your eyes will be opened to the Truth, and you will come to Know Jesus as your Lord and Savior.   anything else will lead you down  the wrong path . Accept the truth about the Lord........ you are so lost.

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

No.  As the bible tells us God's grace is eternal.  Though we remain sinners after our tranformation in Christ we can and will never lose our salvation from Him.  It is what Romans teaches as the "Ordo Salutus" or order of salvation.  once we have been saved through Christ Jesus, "Justified"  we become Santificed through His will and love.  And when he returns we become glorified with new bodies and souls.

That will be between you and God.  Only God can see a mans heart.  We do not see as God sees.  Even God said it was an abomination, however there is only one unforgiveable sin that will keep you out of heaven and that is the cursing of the Holy Spirit.  I don't agree with your lifestyle and choose not to have it forced on me and my family to accept because to us it is NOT natural, however, again, only God can see a mans heart.

yes, those who reject it go to hell. but just because someone doesn't reject the Gospel doesn't mean they are saved. they must accept it in order to be saved and believe in Christ. no one really knows what for sure happens to believers and nonbelievers before judgement day, but i think that they are separated, and then we'll all be judged one day and go to 'our place' eternally. some Biblical whiz probably has a better idea more based on the Bible, but either way, once you die, you'll go to heaven or hell. hopefully you'll/you believe the Gospel and live for God!

The trinity is in the Bible. Jesus said that he was ascending to his Father and would send the Holy Spirit in his place.\n\nDoes it matter? Well, yeah. When you accept salvation, you come to better know God the Father through Christ's mercy, and part of how you come to know God better is by heeding the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is sent to you once you accept Christ.\n\nAs for whether or not you can still be saved if you don't believe this, it's a moot point. If you accept salvation, you will be sent the Holy Spirit, and you will--if you heed that guidance--come to know God the Father better. That is, whether you believe this beforehand or not, it is what will happen in your life if you are earnestly seeking the will of God.

My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life. Your joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer. The question is: Are you saved? It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you are a church member, but are you saved? Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die? \n\nGod says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again. In John 3:7, Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Ye must be born again.” \n\nIn the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means to be saved. His plan is simple! You can be saved today. How? \n\nFirst, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). \n\nBecause you are a sinner, you are condemned to death. “For the wages [payment] of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). This includes eternal separation from God in Hell. \n\n“ . . . it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). \n\nBut God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear your sin and die in your place. “ . . . He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew no sin] to be sin for us . . . that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). \n\nJesus had to shed His blood and die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Lev. 17:11). “ . . . without shedding of blood is no remission [pardon]” (Hebrews 9:22). \n\n“ . . . God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). \n\nAlthough we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were laid upon Jesus and He died in our place. He became our substitute. It is true. God cannot lie. \n\nMy friend, “God . . . commandeth all men everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross. \n\nIn Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: “ . . . ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ And they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .’ ” \n\nSimply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior. \n\n“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12). \n\n“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). \n\nWhosoever includes you. Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but shall be saved. \n\nSurely, you realize you are a sinner. Right now, wherever you are, repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer. \n\nIn Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: “God be merciful to me a sinner.” Just pray: “Oh God, I know I am a sinner. I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross. I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me. I now receive Him as my Savior. I thank You for the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace. Amen.” \n\nJust take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith. Believe, and you will be saved. No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. Remember, God does the saving. All of it! \n\nGod’s simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith. \n\nYou say, “Surely, it cannot be that simple.” Yes, that simple! It is scriptural. It is God’s plan. My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him as Savior today. \n\nIf His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over, without laying it down, until you understa
