I am a Christian. Praise the Lord!! The Baptists or anyone else cannot save you. Only Jesus can. You must accept Jesus as your savior. No one can force that upon you. Preachers do not scare you, they just share God's word with you which is the truth. And the truth can be scary to hear, especially if you are a lost unsaved soul.In the very end of everyone's life. Everyone will call upon the name of Jesus or God, after all those years of denying Him. They actually do belive in God, they just don't want to obey Him.

I have been a Christian all my life, fallen away a few times in my youth, I was confirmed and sprinkled in the Episcopal Church at 10, Immersed in a nondenominational Holy roller church at 13, been members at a few Baptist Church's (conservative) and a few non denominational mega churches, I prefer the organization and system of checks and balances in the Baptist Church and am currently a member in a Southern Baptist Church. My pastor does not agree with all of the tenets of the S. Baptist Convention but he is a wise man and above reproach. The main reason we joined this church was because he gave a sermon in which he said he was a strong advocate of the separation of church and state. We had attended other S. Baptist churches where they basically said, if you don't vote for a particular ballot measure then you are not a good Christian. Wrong, wrong, wrong, red flag. The church has no business dictating political doctrine.

I acctually am not sure of my belief stucture right now. I had always been in the magical community since I was around 9. I think I made some bad choices with it though in the past year with going down the dark path. To be honest I just dont know anymore but hopefully that will change soon. I believe in rencarnation and was a catholic when I was little because it was forced upon me. I dont believe in your god but I believe in the old gods and goddessses.

I don't have a religion, but my philosophical lifestance is Humanism. As I don't believe in supernatural beings, I accept that humans must take responsibility for our own lives and look out for one another as well as we can. We're all in this together. I believe it's possible to live a meaningful, moral life through reason and compassion. The heart of my personal philosophy is the ethic of reciprocity (or Golden Rule).

Im a mulsim Guy thanks GOD.I used to be christian and I became muslim cause I found myself in this great relegion.Prophet Muhammad was the final Prophet sent by GOD for us .NO body pushed me to enter this relegion and really I didn't have background of it ,untill I read the translation of the Holly Qur'an ,I read many verses about Jesus and Maria and not just Jesus but many other Prophets . It is,on the contrary of the same old message of Oneness of GOD that all Prophets preached .The arabic word Islam means peace,submission and obedience.The relegion of Islam is the total submission to the will of GOD and unconditional obedience to His commands,consequent to which his peace-peace for oneself,peace for the soceity,peace for the entire world and peace during the life after death.Muslims have to believe in all prophets and admit the Divine origin of all scripures,they are bound to distinguish between the prophetic relegions as they exist today and what was originally preached by the repective Prophets.They believe that since what was revealed to the final Prophet Muhammad (namely the Holly Qur'an ) was comprehensive and perfect,to be a muslim undoubtedly means to accept the Holy Qur'an in letter and spirit alike and follow Muammad unconditionally ,Moreover ,The Holly Qur'an still exist intact and in its pristine form-a claim conceded by history. Which made me enter the Islam is Christians are following many relegions such as catholic ,baptist---etc so why all this differences in just one relegion so I compared that to Islam I found that muslims followed just one book and it's the Holly Qur'an which provides definite guidelines for all to follow in all walks of life _spiritual,moral,social,economic,political or international.I love Jesus a lot and entering Islam is a contrary of all other relegions .Who just fight Islam doesn't know anything about this great relegion! knowledge and search changed my life !!!cause without labour of formal learning and research I woul always have bad judgement about Islam !!!this is refared of what I heard from the enemies of Islam!Instead of simply passing time with T.V or other means of play,one can best utilise his leisure to read books !!!or use the computer for researching .

I'm a Christian and I believe that Christ is Lord. It's very hard being a Christian because you have to love others. I was once an Atheist but when I was in a car accident that almost took my life, I became a proud Christian man.
