I did 11 years ago! Best decision I eva made set me free from my abusive partner put me with a lovely church, best of all in the yar 2000 6 months after baptism in water and spirit He restored my sight! and in on 10th March this year at a meeting in a small village just outside my home town of Buxton in Derbyshire UK He also healed me of hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy which had left me twisted down 1 side and in a lot of pain.
I ride a french moped now visiting other churches sharing what Jesus has done! I have a lot to be thankful for.
Let me know what you think Adam.
God Bless you brother.

Well I would have said YES until, while living in Tucson, AZ my pastor was convicted of defrauding Social Security. He justified it by saying that the money did not change his lifestyle. The their. And the church's Youth Pastor asked me to help him buy a desk so the visiting youth pastors could have a place to write their sermons and study and then he charged over $3,500 with me as a co-signer and refused to pay and his older brother stole almost $8,000 from me and he claims to be a preacher. So I will let God decide my salvation because man surely hasn't. And I have not gotten answers to prayer on this because they are all still alive. So go figure. Would have said YES but do not want to be associated with these kinds of people and of course they justify their actions as thieves so i would say NO now and not going to go through all that again except that my ex-son-in-law in Tampa stole $2,400 from me too and he thinks he is a Christian so I they are then I don't want to be.

Nope, my redemption will come in two stages; destruction and reconstruction. I shall reject or, if you prefer, 'destroy' my old, and flawed worldly viewpoints and then I shall construct new and mostly improved worldly viewpoints upon the old ones.
As the first stage, I must accept that if God or Jesus ever existed, they're long dead, leading to atheism. I must then look critically at the viewpoints and rules that they chose to represent. During this, I discard which is flawed and wrong. I do this for a number of systems, leading to a clean slate. I'm fairly certain that this stage is complete.
As the second stage, I begin to build a new world-view for myself, and decide on *my* terms what is right and what is wrong in this world. I look again at examples set by others who came before, but mostly I look at the world itself and see for myself what it's like. I'm not finished on this stage yet, but I'll get back to you when it's done in 40-50 years' time.
My redemption has not been achieved by Jesus before, is not being achieved by Jesus now and will not be achieved by Jesus at any time in the future.

I prayed the prayer of salvation when I was 10, with my eyes open. Then I said to myself, I'm not a real christian because my eyes were open. I had been told that to pray your eyes MUST be shut. How stupid is that.
I tried to beleive, but by the time I was 18, I had found too many contradictions in the bible, and there were too many people who said they were christians but not acting like the bible said they should be acting.
I decided that it was all fake so I quit. That was over 20 years ago, and I have been free of stress, of hypocrisy, of intolerance and of bigotry ever since.

I am sixty five right!!. I have loved jesus since a child. Having said that, As i grew up what with all the temptations and things that happen to humans?. I drifted away. Now as I grow older, I am trying so hard to return to the God, Jesus, Our Lord. To those day,s, those amazing true feelings of happiness I had as a child.Sadly, I ask myself to often, Is It because I am a coward?, because I no I must die one day, and that I am afraid of not being forgiven. It smacks of despair?. I think perhaps, that Is worse than "Sin", and the tgemptation of It which we are all subject too. I wish somwbody could advice me. I am not strong eneough myself?.

I accept that Jesus died about 2000 years ago. He was probably executed by the Romans. I don't understand how, under the circumstances, he can save anybody.

I have accepted Christ as my Savior. But according to some, I follow the wrong Christ so I'm not sure what that means. Were there really 2 Jesus Christs?

No. I did once, then slowly came to the realization that it's not real. I am now a born again atheist.

No I have not. Good for you. But some guy claiming to be the son of God can never be my saviour. Guy must have been a real weirdo to believe that, and sandwich short of a full picnic
