"God wants to save you and will forgive you when you are willing to admit you are a sinner. When you accept this forgiveness from God, He will give you a peace and rest in your heart. You can be free-free in this life and much more, free to experience the bliss of heaven instead of the reality of not only 48 hours, but an eternity in hell."

The only way to salvation is to be cleansed form sin, by accepting the blood of Jesus Christ as the Sacrifice for your sins.

You put this question in the wrong section; you should have posted this in R&S.
Anyway, yes, I have been saved by the blood of Christ; I have accepted Jesus, and I know that I am still a sinner. Once you are saved, that doesn't make you impervious to sin. On the contrary, sin will attack you more.
You sound like someone who has been taught that the way to salvation is by saying The Sinner's Prayer. Let me tell you, that doesn't work. The Bible says in John 9:31 that God does not hear sinner's prayers, but hears those who do His will.
Let me tell you the way of salvation. First, you must HEAR the Word of God, Romans 10:17. Second, you must BELIEVE what you've heard, Romans 10:9-10, Hebrews 11:6. Third, you must REPENT of your sins, Luke 13:3. Fourth, you must CONFESS the name of Jesus as the Son of God, Matthew 10:32-33, and lastly, you must BE BAPTIZED, Acts 2:38, Acts 8:37-38.
When I say Be Baptized, I don't mean that you have water poured on your head or sprinkled on you; you must go down into the water, and be completely submerged. When burying a dead person, you don't sprinkle or pour dirt on them, right? It's the same thing, you must be buried into Christ. After all that, you must then be FAITHFUL unto death, Matthew 10:22b, Acts 2:42, Revelation 2:10c.
Only by following these steps will you obtain salvation. If you read through the book of Acts, you will find several examples of what I have just told you, and nowhere will you see where someone just prayed to God, and they were saved.

thank u for the lovely message and yes i was saved 4 yrs ago and go to church every sunday and wednesday nite and me and my hubby are involved in lots of church activities. I love your message and it is very informative and i hope that people who read this come to know jesus too and accept him in their lives as we are living in the last days and pretty soon there will be no choice just the tribulations after the rapture and then what are they going to do. God Bless u and have a good and blessed weekend..

I can never accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, or that he is God's begotten child. Did God marry Mary the mother of Jesus? no then he was born illegitimately, and the Bible tells us "no bastard shall inherit the garden even onto the 10th generation." Meaning, 10 generations after Jesus all bastards even if they marry legitimately they are destined for hell. The Muslim concept of the birth of Jesus makes more sense then the Christian one.

Chill! God wanted us on Earth for a reason, and no it is not hell. Less obsession with God and a little more interest in the rest of life will give you stress relief. He is with you always so lighten up and look around you at the beauty and complexity He has provided.
