I do. Trying to keep you salvation is hard. Getting saved is one thing and keeping it is another.Im starting to think that only the Christians that go to church, pray everyday, fast, tithe,read the bible and confess sins everyday are the only ones that are going to to raptured or end up in Heaven. I do not read the bible, I do not pray as much anymore, I do not go to church because I am not a church going person and I do not fast, even though I should.but I do believe in Jesus, his death and resserection andI do love him so much but am worried that will not be enough to get me into Heaven or raptured before the great tribulation. Any truthful advice from you Christians would be be helpful..

Pal, may I say, going to church do not save you.
Fasting do not save you.
Tithing do not save you.
But believe in your heart,and confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord will save you.
However, if you claimed to believe in Jesus, then you must do as He said (if you love me, obey my commandment).
Fellowship with others is important, thus going to church is important.
If you believe in him, but don't know him, how muchu believe? Thus praying and reading bible is important.
Others, when you know Jesus well. . . you will know, that is journey is not hard. For Jesus said, my burdend is light, and my york is easy.
You will soon learn about the Spirit of God works in you, as mentioned in Roman 8.
Have you sometime feel that what good you want to do u didn't do, but the evil you do not want to do, you do? Well . . . in Romans 7, St Paul talk about this issue too.
Go,enjoy your life fully in Jesus.
For me, I have no fear for tribulations, why? For the chapter mentioning tribulation is followed by the glorious coming of our Lord, the new heaven and new earth.
So, let us press on. The war with Satab has been won, the small battle of our live, we still have to rough it out. Let's do it with the strength of the Lord

Here is how you can receive Christ:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).
2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit.
(Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)
If you believe these things, then you are SAVED.
dont worry, love. the enemy is trying to make you doubtful of your faith, but dont let him. God wants you to be firm and strong! Arm yourself with this verse:
"For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" John 3:16
God bless~

Any and all God's are MAN's perception and creation. I believe we will ALL go to a better place regardless of religion. I would not turn my one child away and accept my other two based on ANYTHING or ANY reason. My kids are all my kids and I love them regardless of what they do or say or believe. How could I be more forgiving and accepting than our God? No matter what you call Him, he created us and we are his kids. Look to yourself and realize you could not be better than him. If people tell you our God is sending you to "Hell", ask them if they would do that to their own children!!! I would NEVER send my babies to a bad place and how can I be "better" than my creator if I am made in HIS/HER image!!!! How could anyone?!?!!? I believe we are here to learn lessons and take it back with us and love one another while here. Do the best we can, just like we expect of our children. We don't hate or wish ill will on our own kids, so why would our GOD do so? How could we be more understanding than our higher power? If He/She created us in His/Her form...it stands to reason we would think and act like Him/Her as well!!!! It stands to reason our higher power would be even MORE loving and understanding than we could be. Why would they send us to HELL!??!

"Blessed are the poor in spirit"
By considering yourself unworthy, God will be ready to fill you up. God doesn't really like people who are arrogant and think they can impress God..... God likes the meek little people.
Besides, my grandpa says, "Once you think you are humble, you lose it". Truly thinking your devotion is insufficient is good in a way, because it is insufficient - you can't love God "enough", or to a point where you don't need to grow anymore. By realizing that you still need a lot more of God in your life, he will be welcome to give you more.
