Yes my friend. I am new christian convert i was once a muslim. In my nation I walk home form school and buddhist were there and telling me to leave christianity. They say bible is fake and i rebuke them, they they say that they are like gods and stuff.
Then i told them that jesus died for them and then they began saying god didn't exist. so then i rebuke again and again and then they actually hovered about the ground. so i ran away. now i see them fly off ground like plane. i want to become a buddhist now but i still am afraid jesus is mad at me.

Wow, think of how much money everyone could save on gas if we all converted to Buddhism. Why don't you grow up and get a life that means something. You apparently have enough brains to dream up crap like this to ask, why not use those brain cells to help someone?

you need to figure out what exactly you DO believe in. I am Hindu, a recent convert my self, but I find that the faith fits me well and I amhappier than I have ever been in my entire life. Go to a Buddhist temple and speak with the lama(the teacher). They can help you pick a path or a religion. Buddhism is cool but you are right, there is no god. Buddha is a leader not a god. Try out all different religions before you settle on one. once you find the religion for you, you will be happy and everything will seem right. keep in mind that in every religion there are different paths. Like Catholocism, Protestant, Non Denominational, Universalist Unitartian in Christianity. Buddhism has three- Mahayana Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism and i forget the third. In hinduism there are 2 main paths- those who worship the avatars of Vishnu (Vaishnava) and those who worship avatars of Shiva (I forget the word). I myself am Vaishnavi and am part of the ISKCON movement( International Society for the Krishna Conciousness). you have to read about the religios that you are interested in and then attend some services at a temple in your area. i wish you best of luck with your spiritual journey.

I don't know much about demon-posession, but if what you say is true, it definitely sounds like that's what was going on there. I'd say you handled that very well. You probably didn't have to rebuke them, though. Just pray that God would give you direction in what to do.
Christianity is the only way to find Heaven, God, and a true feeling of fulfillment. Do not be tempted to join their religion because they have seemingly amazing power- it comes from Satan!
Jesus is not mad at you. He loves you and forgives you for everything you do wrong. He is your God, King, Savior, and your best friend, and he will never desert you.

If this was your experience I must say that it is possible that you have a mental illness and shoud get this checked out, if you can in your country.
Yes the Bible is real and it is true. It is criticized by many people and many lies are spoken about it. This is not strange as God through the Bible tells us what rules we are supposed to live by.
People don't like rules, especially if the rules say they can't do what they want to do.
The Buddha was a nice man and wanted to help people to suffer less. He realized that all suffering is caused by "attachment" and tried to encourage people to not be attached to the things of the earth. He also taught them some ways to help them with this.
Jesus is more than a buddha ( sorry Buddhists), He is the son of God. Jesus and His apostles also taught that we shouldn't be attached to the things of this earth. Jesus said that, "it is harder for a rich man to enter Heaven than for a camal to pass through the eye of a needle". But, I'm afraid that many Protestant ministers and Catholic priests value money more than truth.
Many churches depend on the donations of wealthy people and don't want to antagonize them, so preach confusion about this so that the rich people will stay in their church and continue their donations.
Don't leave more for what is less. Read and study the Bible so you can discern the false teachers from those who speak the truth. God bless you.

Stay close to Jesus. He will never lead you down the wrong path. He died on the cross for you. He rose from the dead for you. He is the Almighty! I encourage you to do 3 things
1-Read the New Testament every single day
2-pray. pray for strength, wisdom, and confirmation of the Truth
3-get active in a Christian church so you can have the fellowship of other Christians

Well you need to make a choice, Jesus, or the world.......
What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? -Matthew 10:26

You don't neccesarily have to leave Jesus behind. I guess you can make up your own religion called Christian buddhism...hmmm, that's one of the weirdest things i've said today.
