God is the most important person in my life. I also know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. My name is Matthew James Needham and don't be shy to contact me on this. my email address is im_proud2b_a_christian@yahoo.com

I don't, but that sounds like a great idea.  Hmmm, one that I like, that comes to mind right now is 1 John 4: 7-19.  Another one I like that emphasises being non-judgemental, is the one about Jesus talking to Mary of Samaria? at the well, the woman with the 5 husbands... not sure where it is.  Good luck and God Bless

My life born-again has been just that...born again!!!  I am a whole new creation through Christ. With Christ  I am complete, fulfilled, whole and humble.  Life with Him is serene, wonderful, joyous, favored, amazing, miraculous, saved, redeemed, blessed, honored, and filled with grace.  I floundered all my life trying to fit in, work it out, make it last, trying new schemes, conniving fruitless plans to  be better, do better, have better, and never got anywhere but TIRED and wore out..  Thank God He is rest and peace..  Thank God His love is complete.  Thank God I found my place and that is with Him!   No, my life is so, so so, so far from perfect but my worst day with Him is better plus infinity without Him. we will never have words to express that love but I'm gonna keep on trying by singing His praises everyday,!! HE IS WORTHY!!!

JOHN 3:3\n    Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\n\nMATTHEW 18:3\n    And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.\n \nACTS 2:38\n    Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.\n\nMATTHEW 5:3\n    Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n \nMATTHEW 5:10\n    Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\n\nMATTHEW 5:20\n    For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.\n \nMATTHEW 7:21\n    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/bibletruths_forbelievers/\n\nrhanjo, Please read...\nJOHN 3:5-8\n   5    Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.\n   6    That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.\n   7    Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.\n   8    The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.\n\nJOHN 6:63\n   It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.\n\nROMANS 8:1,2\n   1    There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. \n   2    For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.\n \nROMANS 8:4-9\n   4    That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. \n   5    For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. \n   6    For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \n   7    Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. \n   8    So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. \n   9    But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.\n \nROMANS 8:13,14\n   13    For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. \n   14    For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.\n \nGALATIANS 3:3\n    Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?\n \nGALATIANS 4:29\n   But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.\n \nGALATIANS 5:16-18\n   16    This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. \n   17    For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. \n   18    But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. \n  \nGALATIANS 6:8\n    For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.\n \nPHILIPPIANS 3:3\n    For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.\n \nI PETER 4:6\n    For for this cause was the gospe

I believe that "true" repentence, as I understand the Bible's teachings of Jesus, means to TRULY be repulsed because of the wrong that you have done and then, as Jesus said to the woman at well "go and sin no more". Being raised as a staunch Southern Baptist, I learned later in life that many Christians use the forgiveness of the thief on the cross as the freedom to sin, "repent", sin, "repent"...\nBecause of this, I no longer believe "once saved, always saved....." but agree with many Penecostals on this subject, that one can sin and be forgiven, but may miss Heaven anyway...maybe not because of a sin of "commission", but a sin of "omission".  Although "no man can pluck you out of my hand"...an individual can surely choose to JUMP out of His hand at any time.....Please feel free to disagree...I am no Bible scholar, only a sinner saved by grace....

Hello,\n\nEvery thing takes time. you have to accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour and that he came down from above to pay for our sins.\n\nBeing born again is similar to accepting and repenting but, its like if you steal you can't go around staeling again. When you have the spiriti within yo , bad things would not even come to your mind\n\nTake care and God bless

Hi Rodney. Good evening/day.Very good subject! First of all, in case anyone does not know what sin is, let's define it.  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. or MKJV- Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness-1John 3:4. Myself included, we need to ensure that we know what sin is so that we can be sincerely repentant and strive to not commit sins. You are correct everyone sins, that is why Jesus - the perfect Son of God who was sinless died for our sins and rose from the dead. Second, the word rapture is not in the Bible. Jesus will return to raise the dead and claim those of us who are saved. John 3:13 says  -And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. May God Bless  you.

I love the book of John.  This passage particularly.  \n\nYou gave me pause with your question however.  I pray daily, but I do not confess daily.  Maybe I should.

Christians will talk about Jesus;\nMuslims about Muhhamed, both about God.\n\nI guess God is most interested in persons who are strong and brave and willing enough to find the answer by thesmelves, and not wait for it to drop upon them from heaven.\n\nYou are what you want yourself to be. Your knoweldge forms your character, your character forms your habbits, your habbits decide your destiny. \nThere are no limits to what you could do :)

Yes. I have asked my pastor and friends to share their ideas after answering questions. There have been concepts covered here that I had not thought of before. It has served as a tool that has deepened my understanding and fortified my faith. My church is open to all questions, and we discuss whatever is on our minds on Wednesday nights, so the reaction has been as it always is, very welcoming and non-judgemental. A topic that I am currently mulling over is the concept of hell - whether it is the eternal burning and torture most think it is, or if it is obliteration by being thrown into the lake of fire. I'm leaning towards the latter lately as I have found nothing that indicates that hell is eternal torture.

Everyone does things that God tells us are wrong. This is known as sin. God doesn't expect you to be perfect. He just wants you to accept His forgiveness, so He can be your friend. This is called salvation. \nThe way God forgives us is through Jesus. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jesus died on a cross and was buried for three days. \n\nBut then something awesome happened. He rose from the grave and came back to life! He is now in heaven and wants you to accept Him. \n\nTelling Jesus You Need Him \n\nYou can accept Jesus by telling Him you need salvation. Have you ever done or said or even thought something that you knew was wrong? Maybe you lied to your parents, said something mean to your brother or sister, or thought something that wasn’t very nice about someone. This is all sin, and every person in the world has sinned. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." \n\nWhat It Means To Repent \n\nJesus not only wants us to accept Him, but He also wants us to be sorry for our sins. He wants us to repent. To repent means to change or to turn from our old ways. Jesus wants you to act in new ways that are good and pleasing to God. (Luke 13:3) \n\nUnless we repent, we will always live away from God–not allowed to go to heaven and not able to live life to its fullest here on earth. (Romans 6:23) \n\nIn order to turn from our ways, we must believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is the only way we can truly change. He wants us to ask Him into our lives. Just like you might ask a classmate if he or she will be your friend, Jesus wants us to ask Him to be our friend too. \n\nInviting Jesus into Your Life \n\nIf you would like to invite Jesus Christ into your life, all you have to do is ask Him through prayer. He wants to be your best friend. Here’s a good way to ask Him:\n\nDear Jesus, \n\nI know that I have sinned, because I have done and said wrong things. I do not want to be apart from God because of my sin. I need You to take away my sin and forgive me. I believe that You died and rose from the grave for me because You love me so much. Thank You, Jesus, for forgiving my sin and coming into my life. Please help me to know You more every day. Help me live like You want me to live.\n\nAmen.\n\nCongratulations!\n\nYou are now a child of God! \n\n(2 Corinthians 5:17-18) God has made you brand new, and He has great things planned for you.\nNow you have a new birthday. This day is your new birthday. You have now been born again. You have a birthday, when you were born of the flesh, this is your day you were born of the spirit! Happy Birthday.

I love Jesus.  He died for me and the rest of the world so that my sins could be forgiven and I could have eternal life.\n\nTake a second and think about how long eternity is.  Would you rather spend it in heaven or hell.\n\nDo you love Jesus now

Check out Matthew 16:13-17:\n\nWhen Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is [I am]?"\n    "Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets."\n\n    Then he asked them, "Who do you say I am?"\n\n    Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."\n\n    Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being..."\n\nJesus pretty much told Peter that he was correct when he said that He was the Son of God.\n\nHere is another scripture:\n\nLuke 9:18-20 (similar to the previous one)
