Good for you!
Next steps:
Not every Christian is suddenly and passionately on fire for their beliefs.
And having doubts is not unusual. I have been a self-professed Christian for forty plus years and still wrestle with doubts. That is why we are admonished in the scriptures to seek out the truths of what we are being told, to study and grow in our faith.
It is important to keep in mind that belief without works as evidence of your faith is an empty vessel. Christians must bear the fruits of their faith, not just sit around and become spiritually stagnant. Recall that Christ cursed the fig tree that did not bear fruit. The more you learn the more you will be able to defend your faith and enable others to acknowledge your beliefs.
Start by getting yourself a good study bible, such as the NIV Study Bible or the MacArthur Study Bible. I use a Thompson's Chain Reference bible, but own many other versions. Then get the Strongest Strong's NIV Concordance so you can look up words occurring in all verses of the bible. This is a great tool for person, word, or thematic studies and is an important part of proper biblical hermeneutics.
As you grow in your knowledge, so will your faith. Eventually you will come to find that there is nothing in the bible, its historical accounts, or its doctrines that has been shown to be false by modern science, philosophy, and archeology.

Yup, me too. After being an Atheist for so many years, I am just amazed that I do not believe in God by reading the arguments listed on here. Maybe we can start our own Church of Yahoo Converted.

Are you? Or are you just telling yourself and others that you are? "all that jazz?" - I could be wrong, but it sounds like you are taking a precious gift just a bit lightly......

that's great. The next step is to go to a Bible following church and get baptised and proclaim your salvation.

"And all that jazz"...doesn't sound sincere to me. What is the point in saying it if you really don't mean it?

That's not even a question. Jesus will see you rot in hell for that!
