Is it like a sign up thing or what?

yes, you sign up. preach and heal for 3 years, then get nailed to a cross for about 9 hours. once you die, you can be our messiah too. good luck!

Sorry that position has already been filled. Christ is the only Messiah so I guess you'll have to find another line of work.

Oh Brian Flemming compiled a nice check list to this:
1. Death by a wooden cross or tree
2. Birth of a virgin mother
3. "disciples" or followers
4. God reincarnate
5. Put to death for your beliefs.
6. Born in a barn/manager
7. A star that points to your birth place
8. People that bring you gifts because they see the star.
9. miracles
10. resurection(wth i cant spell tonight)
11. promise of a second coming.
theres more i forgot alot.
surpisingly (or not) all of those aforementioned checklists all have a common theme..Jesus wasn't the first story to use them..Just one of the last.

People with such missions were foreordained before birth, so you can't nominate yourself.
Moses was foreordained to lead the Chrildren of Israel out of bondage.
Jesus was foreordained to be the Messiah.
John the Baptist was foreordained to baptize Jesus.

take up acting. Then wait for a lucky break.
Or you could pull a Jim Jones or Chuck Manson, I suppose. They managed to get a few folks to believe they had the stuff.

Preach to the poor and ignorant - there are plenty of those left in the world.
Make all kinds of promises that 1 day they will be the leaders, brainwash them to tell others about you - and before you know it.... voila.... the stories of your greatness will be told for generations....
Hey.. wait a minute, why am I telling you all this, I should do this myself.....
