I believe in God, but I don't go to Church, and I was never baptized? My parents were Catholic, and my grandfather was a Protestant.

It sounds to me like you are a Christian. Why try so hard to put a label on it? I found the church that most closely matched my beliefs according to the Bible and that is the church I attend. That doesn't make me that religion. It means I'm a Christian attending this church in an effort to learn and grown in my belief.
Regarding Baptism, Jesus Christ himself wasn't baptized until He was an adult. The reason for this is that it is a personal choice made by each individual. It is supposed to be a profession of our faith. It's never too late to be baptized.
God bless you in your journey to Him!

God makes it clear it's not about the religion rather then the relationship. If you have faith in Jesus that's all that really matter. Church deosn't make you a Christian, Christians make the church...know what I mean?
I got involved in church to serve, but the most profound moments I have with God is when I'm alone, praying, reading the word and just listening.

Good question! Lots of people never ask themselves this very important question.
I would say that you are not a Christian simply for believing in God. And spiritual beliefs are not "genetic". It doesn't matter if your father was the Pope. Here is an analogy I've heard before:
You believe in planes, you know they exist, you believe they can fly--but until you put yourself on the plane and trust it with your life-you aren't really committing to anything.
God Bless you in your search! I hope you find the Truth!

James 2:19
You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!
sounds like you have no religion at all, God has children not grandchildren
baptism should happen after you come to faith in Christ
if you have not trusted Christ as your Lord and Savior then you are lost. If you die today you will spend eternity separated from God.
trust Him today, join a group of Bible believers and secure your future

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins?
Have you asked Jesus to come into your heart and stay with you always?
Have you realised that you are a sinner and have you repented of your sins?
Have you admitted to yourself that you need Jesus/God/The Holy Spirit.
If you have done these things then you are a Christian. Religion or Church has noting to do with it. You need to call around and find a church that uses ONLY the King James Version Bible. When you find one, go there and get baptised.
However, if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior then you are LOST and you need to get into a KJV Bible believing church. The Catholic church created it's own version of the Bible to support its doctrine. They only use bits and pieces of the Bible in their preaching. Get into a true Bible believe, Bible preaching church. (A Baptist church is a good starting place.)

Satan believes in God, doesn't go to church and was never baptized. Forget religion. Doesn't make any difference what religion your parents or grandparents were. For you, it's about a relationship with Christ and whether or not you have one with Him that's important.

actually the bible didn't mention what religion you have to join in order for you to save.Cristianity is not a religion but a relationship between God and man.you believe God then you have to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.The Bibles says Believing and accepting Christ you will be save.it's very clear in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His Son,that whosoever believe in Him(Jesus) should not perish but have everlasting life.You cannot save by joining any religion.You have to take the step of faith.Through God's grace we have been save.Salvation is a free gift of God.Jesus died for us,sinners.Do you want to be a born-again believer then confess your sins,accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.Attend a church (Full Gospel) and a fellowship and i assure you will not regret being a born -again believer.God bless!

All you need is to know that GOD Laws are made of three Books: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?

Answer these 3 questions honestly:
Do you believe in one God (not Jesus being the son or anything)?
Do you try to be a good person and do good deeds?
Do you believe in an afterlife (hell/heaven)?
If so, you are a Muslim (a submitter) because whether u relaize it or not u are living by the will of God. Peace and may you be rewarded in this life/next.

believing in God is the first and hardest step to take. and you have achieved that. so, next is finding the church He wants you to go to. first, pray for guidance. next, decied what church to go to. there is such a thing as church hopping-which is what i did for years. i am now catholic-been catholic for 4 years. God will lead you to the one, just pray and trust.
