Yes- You can. Praise God! you are half way there! Just stop in any Christian church and speak with the minister or any staff about what you have asked. You need to understand that God is a loving and forgiving God. It's all about choices in our life to recieve God and Jesus into your heart. So take the next step and recieve Jesus! See you in church- There's a reason why you asked this question and guess what- it was no coincidence that you are recieving this message. God hears you and speaks through mysterious ways.

God Bless!

Although there are always consequences for our decisions, you can be "born again" into salvation and a right relationship with God. I assume you know how to "be saved" -- by accepting Christ as your Savior. That acceptance and the changes it brings will make you a new person.

Believe me, I know from experience. I was a worldly person -- seeking big money, fast cars, easy women and all the things that are supposed to make you happy. In the end, NONE did.

When I returned to the Lord of my youth -- and rededicated my life to Christ at age 33, I became a new person. I wasn't the angry, vindictive, greedy man I used to be. God gave me a new spirit, a new hope and joy deep down inside. Life hasn't been a picnic since then (ten years), but I have never looked back -- and I never will.

Accepting Christ is the first step. Read your Bible (start with John or Romans). Find a Christian friend and talk with them. Go to your local Bible-believing church and talk with the pastor. PRAY! God will change you -- and you will truly know what it means to be "new".

Yes, it is. First you need to find a good pastor or someone who can teach you about Christianity. To become a born again Christian and start off new, you have to repent your sins to God and truely mean it because God knows your heart, then you have to admit that you are a sinner, then accept Jesus as your saviour form all sin. There is more involved than only this, but this is the basics. Also buy a Holy Bible (KJV) and start reading in Matthew.

Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross in payment for your sins and that through His sacrifice, you are saved? Simply pray to God, tell Him that you accept the free gift of salvation and ask Him to come into your heart and save you - turn away from sin (repent) that is it - if you mean it, you are now saved by grace through faith. Find a pastor and talk to him - make sure he is a Christian pastor and not of a cult - you can start by looking into main stream Christian churches in your area - Lutheran or Baptist would be a good start. Welcome to the family.

1st: Repent of all sin. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" -repent means turn around, go the opposite direction.
2nd: Admit to God you are a sinner in need of His grace. You are commencing the step to new life in Jesus
3rd: Ask God to forgive you all sin, in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ.
4:Ask God to accept the sacrife of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary on your behalf.
5: Ask the Lord to cleanse you from all unrighteousness.
6:Ask God to sent His promised Holy Spirit to empower you by indwelling your life.
7:Commune and get to know your knew found Saviour. You can call Him Lord Jesus.
8. You ensure you have in your possession a Holy Bible. I personally prefer either the King James Version-because it is translated from more ancient and more reliable documents- or The Greek /Hebrew/ Armaic Interlinear Bible-because you can read the actual ancient languages, because it's a transliteration into English and because it cross-references excellently with Layer's Lexicons in all of the ancient, written languages and because it also cross-references excellently with the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance
9: Your new life is just beginning, put all your faith in your Heavenly Father. Trust Him to keep the promises in His Word. Spend time with Him through Jesus Christ, by the enabling of the Holy Spirit. Meditate on His Word while thanking Him for the Holy Spirit , through Whom you are taught and strenghtened to help you live the Christian life. Never stop spending time with Jesus.
10: Find a church which teaches that all have sinned,all are in need of God's grace and that it's through that same grace you are saved through faith, not of works,lest anyone should boast. Teaches from a Spirit filled church using The Holy Bible. Check out a few; several different places if you deem necessary. I personally prefer The Salvation Army's services. Some will use what's called the NIV Version of The Bible. I used to bring my KJV and followed along easy enough. They call them Temples, Citadels or Corps. There in the phonebook. ( God promises His Word "will not return to Him null and void". This means wherever and whenever The Holy Bible is being preached and taught continuously and consistently, God will use it for His Purposes.
11: If the churches you visit are not preaching from The Holy Bible -all of it, and believing all of it too- or if there fruit doesn't match what is preached behind a true Bible preaching pulpit, or if the preacher challenges anything the Bible says -you can take The Holy Bible literally unless The Holy Bible says otherwise- don't go back.( If you need more info on this you may leave me an email.)
12. If you have questions or if you need any assistance in meeting the Creator of all things through His Eternal Son Jesus Christ, click on my image and leave an email.
God bless
13: Now that you know the plan of salvation you are responsible for it.
14: Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise Him all creatures here below.
15 Get thee to an excellent and well stocked Christian Bookstores-also in the phone books and sometimes, but not always, called Family Bookstores. I prefer Christian Apologetics and The Holy Bible, of course. Christian Apologetics is filled with information ranging from Archaeology to information about Mount Zion in Israel.
16: Continue to commune regularily with your new found Lord, Saviour, Friend, and the One Who will give you the strength to live the Christian life.

Yes it is all you have to do is take Jesus as your Lord and saviour , If you believe that Jesus died for your sins and to give you eternal life, then all you have to do is pray this prayer
Jesus i admit that i am a sinner, Thank You for dying on the cross for paying the penalty for my sin. I now receive you as my Saviour and Lord, Take control of my Life and make me the kind of person You want me to be
If you pray this prayer and believe it with all your heart then you are saved and will now be a child of God
May Jesus fill you with his Peace Joy and Love
Merry Christmas

Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!!

Are you really ready is the question? You can start life new. The Word of God reads that in John 3:1-8 tells the story of Nicodemus and Jesus explains that in order to make the Kindom of God your home, you must be born again of the water and of the Spirit.

Acts 2:38 tells us that you must "repent and be baptised every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and ye shall recieve the gift of the Holy Ghost."

Believe in your heart , mind, and spirit that Jesus is your Lord and Savior and that he died for your salvation and for your sins

Repent and ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins. Cry out to Him and be godly sorry. No playing around.

Be baptised in the name of Jesus. Not in titles (Father Son Holy Spirit) And that means be fully submerged in water! no sprinkling on the forhead!

Now tarry for the Holy Spirit. There are two ways that you can recieve the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, the presence of the Lord is so great over you and you strongly desire it and your heart and spirit are open, God may just touch you himself and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Second way you may be touched by another person who is Spirit filled and they will pray (tarry) and ask the Lord with you to fill you with His Holy Spirit.

The initial evidence of having the Holy Spirit (Confirmation) is speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Acts 2:4


Many people may steer you away and tell you that speaking in tongues is for the old bible days. It is not. God is a SPIRIT! To truely worship Him you must worship him in spirit and truth. Speaking in tongues is not a language that is learned or taught. It is an open line of communication between you (your spirit) and God that no one can take away from you.

I am not giving you any "RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE" I am giving you this straight out of the Word of God.

Also find a good BIBLE TEACHING Church that will give you the truth straight from the word.

I pray that this will help you. If you have anymore questions. See this site. www.houseoffaithak.org And call if you must. I will be praying for you. God bless you!

SALVATION

Friend, If you were to pass away right now, do you know without a doubt that you would go to heaven? If you don't, you can. This is how:

1.Admit you are a sinner. The Bible, God's Holy Word, says, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one" Romans 3:10; also Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
2.You must realize that sin bears a penalty. Romans 6:23 states, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Revelations 20:14 says, "And death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
3. You must accept the fact that Jesus has already paid the sin debt you owe. We read in Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Christ died to pay the penalty for your sins because He loves you and cares about you.
4. You must accept by faith what Christ has done for you. Again from the book of Romans 10:9 we read, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt beleive in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."

Friend if you wish to know you're going to heaven ask Jesus into your heart right now. Its easy. Pray a prayer like this one: Dear God I know I'm a sinner and need forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ your Son died for me and shed His blood to pay the price for my sins. I am willing to turn from my sins. I now invite Christ to come into my heart and be the Lord of my life as my perfect Savior. Amen.

If you have accepted Christ as your Savior, then this is the beginning of a new and beautiful life for you. To help you along here are a few suggestions:

Read your King James Bible everyday to get to know Christ better.
Talk to God everyday in prayer.
Be baptized, worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a church where Christ is taught and the Bible is the final authority.
Tell others about what Jesus Christ has done for you.

Christ is your only hope for heaven. Don't put off this decision. You don't know in these times how soon you might be meeting Jesus.

In Christianity the common belief is you are born again (made clean of all past sins, and etc.) once you are baptised. However, I'm not a Christian so perhaps I'm not the best to answer your question.

But yeah, regardless of what other people say (like the two above) don't let it worry you. Just do whatever you feel is best and in the end, that's all that counts?
