No, not if you just some way thought you accepted Jesus as your savior without knowing what you are saying. Can you or anyone else show me in the Bible where it says to accept Jesus as the savior? That is not what the Bible says so if God created heaven and it is His home, just as you don't want strangers to come live in your home, neither does He unless you are His.

Well, your choice of the word "nonsense" casts doubt on your conversion. Have you read the Bible? I scrolled down and read some of the comments of the answerers to your question. I do not believe any of them have even read the Bible. Not even the New Testament. Yet they make derogatory comments as though they held some kind of authoritative knowledge of the Scriptures. In other words they do not know what they're talking about.
Read the Bible before you judge it for it's accuracy or inspiration. Sure a lot of the stories would require a huge leap of faith to accept. But keep in mind you will be reading the Word of God. And with God miracles can and often do happen. And since God is capable of making miracles then being God He is also capable of causing some of the things recounted in the Bible to be true.
The worst kind of bigot is the one who condemns without knowing why he is prejudiced.

What do you mean the nonsense in the bible. Accepting Jesus as your lord an savior is one thing you have to believe that he died on the christ for you and know that he rose again on the third day. You have to have supernatural faith and know that all though everything that I read in this bible doesn't make sense to me at times. You want to know God so much that you will try your best to understand him and have faith in his word as must as possible.

If you don't want to believe the Bible, why would you want to accept Jesus as Savior. That's what the Bible is about.

Ok to start with, all bibles are different. and its not nonsence. if u accepted jesus as your savior, u would have to take him as he is and completely give ur heart to him, just like falling in love but kinda different. However, iam a chriastian and i gave my life to god, but i dont believe everything in the bible, because it has beed altered sooooo many times by preceding ancient kings who wanted an easier way to rule, so they changed the bible a little by little to help the people believe that what they were doing was god-like, Basically, i am saying that u do have to believe in the bible, but not entirely, because it is not entirely true. The bible has been passed down from generation to generation to god's followers so what u read isnt entirely the original.

Accepting Jesus is not some cult brainwashing session that makes you do anything you don't want to do. You will still be the same old person you were before you accepted Jesus only now you will be held to a higher goal in life. If you don't want to read the Bible then don't. No one is making you do anything.

That so called nonsense shows you the way to live you life. It is God's word and it gives you the guidelines to lead a healthy faithful life. When you said nonsense that also meant that you said Jesus is nonsense. So if you read the Bible it might show you why it is not nonsense.

If you accept Jesus as your Savior that is the first step. He will show you the truth of His Word by His Spirit. And when you have the Holy Spirit in you the truth will be shown. God will reveal the truth to you and that's all you need to believe that God will reveal the truth of His Word. I have gone through this many years and I still have questions but I believe God will and always gives me the truth. Hope this helps.

What if.......at the moment you take your last breath............you discover that "that nonsense" was all true, that all you had to do is believe. It didn't cost you anything, it didn't make you unhappy, in fact, all that nonsense gave you an outline on how to be happy and live a good life. So at the very last monent, you find out YOU were worng. And then it's too late...............

Why would you accept an idea and then not accept the story of it's being brought into fruition? Strange but hey, whatever get's you through the night.
