Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

you can only become a Christian once, either you never were a Christian or you never stopped. Its not that I believe in eternal security it is just that I know God does not renig on His promises, and since He knows who you are and barring any druel quirks in the form of accidents due to your free will while in a "I don't want to be with You" periods then He knows and knew what you were doing and what you will do, just because so many jave gone b4 you. You can hardly fool a perceptive person how are you going to fool Him who has all your thoughts in your case folder. Either He called you and you responded or He didn't and you faked it due to social pressure,which ever the case you either are and will be or you never were and then you could make a real informed choice.
If you are and are going through the confusion life is made of know this "If you were saved and have strayed off path, then whatever is needed to bring you back, be it being held underwater, hard times, a brush with death, someone showing you kindnes, whatever, it will happen. Its like this I only prayed when things got rough, and so since He liked hearing from Him I had a rough time coming after every month of not praying untill I figured it out. Since then even if times are a little rough it does not seem so bad cuz I am not alone and I know it is for my good and figure out which corner on this diamond in the rough needs to be worn off and it never gets bad like when I stopped praying rolled up my sleeves and tried doing things on my own.

If you were a christian before, you would have known better to convert to something else in the first place. As long as he have the spirit of life (breath) in you, there is hope.

When you become a Christian you are a new creation in Christ Jesus the Lord.
You have never been a Christian but you still have time to become one.><>

If you are tired of thinking for yourself, yes. Just curl up under the warm blanket of ignorance.

They probably don't want you back, and if you are having doubts about your current religion, then you need to continue searching for the truth...

I think only one person can answer this question and it's you. Do some research and decide for yourself.
