if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart(soul) that God raised him (Jesus) from the dead, you shall be saved. Nowhere in the Bible does it say go to church. You do not have to be christened, that's not in the Bible. Once you believe and you find another believer, you should be baptized, which means buried, in water. The significance of Baptism is NOT an outward sign of an inward faith, it means that you die with Jesus and are raised with him into a new life. You are not immediately made a new creature, it is a process. Read your new testament daily and read the Psalms out loud daily as these are proven prayers of the prophets and kings. Those prayers worked for them, they will work for you. If you don't know how to pray, the Psalms will teach you because they are filled with the 7 different kinds of prayer found in the Bible.

There quite is not any such factor as a "correct christian". See: "Old Testament" christianity was once quite often God proving that persons are not able to get to heaven via following legislation; they are inherently sinful and can continuously slip up SOMEWHERE. Then alongside comes Jesus, and he says that so long as you quite take a look at, difficult, to be a well individual (utilizing the Ten Commandments as a normal tenet; do not homicide, thieve, interact in just a little of Satan-worship at the facet etcetera) and are without a doubt sorry whilst you screw up, you'll be able to be forgiven. Unfortunately, matters obtained muddled over the years. I suppose what occurred was once that the church (that means the school that protects the congregation from their enemies, distributes charity donations frivolously to persons who want them, etcetera) obtained pressured with the message, and all forms of rituals and stolen pagan customs obtained combined in as good. Take a appear on the Catholics for an illustration. Bureaucracy long gone mad, persons concentrating on rituals and customs instead than God, that style of factor. Sure they completed a few well, however they obtained a long way too worried in politics. Power and cash are the 2 finest corrupting dealers recognized to mankind.

Christening someone does not save anyone, Everyone must be born again by repenting of all their sins, to God through the blood of Jesus Christ & be Baptized in water by completely immursion in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ & ye shall receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, which is the seal of God.

You must be christened in the original church founded by Jesus Christ which is the Roman Catholic Church to be saved. The following article by Fr.Damen will explain why.

Lots of people who have been baptised and who go to church and who pray will go to hell. Baptism doesn't save you from hell, it only opens up the possibility of heaven.
If you know what baptism truly is and reject it, you reject God's saving grace.
If you don't know what baptism is really about and never do through no fault of your own, your judgement will be otherwise.
You're asking the question, so why not find out all about baptism and just get it done?

The Almighty YHVH created this world very good. Once man sinned, he could no longer meet the requirements of YHVH. Because of His great love for man, He sent His son the Savior. The Savior's name means YHVH is my Savior!--YAHOSHUA! The only way one can have his sins taken care of is to invite the Savior in to carry them. Salvation is a gift, not something we earn by praying, or being good. If a person chooses to remain attached to their sins, they will be consumed in the cleansing fire the Almighty will send to cleanse this world so He can make it new! How could the Almighty be more generous?

The Right to Enter Paradise
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!

being a christian is not a religion- its a relationship w/ god and his son Jesus Christ. If you've accepted Gods gift--his son-- Jesus Christ--as your personal savior and believe in him, have faith in him you will not go to hell. Read the book of john- "for god so loved the world he gave his only begotten son that who ever believes in him shall not parish but have everlating life."

To go to Heaven from a Christian standpoint, one must understand that Jesus is the Son of God and through him all your sins are relieved and we are saved. If this is true among you, then i would say yes.
