When an UnBeliever does what Romans 10:9 says to do to "Be Saved" and Means It (no kidding around) their Spirit Gets Recreated.

You are a Spirit, Living in a Body. You Look Just like your Body.

When You Ask Jesus to Come Into Your Heart (Spirit) and Save (Recreate) You, there is an Actual Recreation of Your Spirit.

You cannot Lose your Recreated Spirit (become Lost Again)by Not Going to "church" anymore.

You could get SAVED and NEVER go to church and STILL go Right On to Heaven.

"Not Going to church" IS NOT the Unpardonable Sin.

Your Own Your Way to Heaven if you have Done What ROMANS 10:9 says to do TO BE SAVED!!!

Ain't that Wonderful News!!! :)

Now, if you DON'T "go to church" (get together with Your Family in Christ) you won't Grow Much and Learn some Good Stuff in the Lord.
That is what "going to church" and Reading your Bible and Praying is Mostly All About!!!

You wouldn't want to stay a Kid all your Life would You?
We got to Grow In The Lord Jesus Christ Risen from The Dead---GOD Almighty Wants US to Grow-Up!!!

P.S. When you Confess your Sins to GOD Almighty, HE is Faithfull and Just to Forgive US our Sins and Cleanse US from All Unrighteousness.
The FIRST Time you confess a Sin to GOD, you are Forgiven. You do not have to Keep Confessing the Same Sin over and over again, and you do Not Confess your Sins to Other People.
O.K.?
It is In The Bible!

Now live for GOD (Read Bible, Pray, go to church! ;) and I Will See You in Heaven My Sister in Christ!!!

Okay, when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, who paid the price for your sins on the cross and rose again on the third day, it was then that you received salvation. Simply put, you are saved. Now you must work out your salvation by living for the Lord. The bible says to forsake not the assembling of yourselves together. We need each other and we need to study the bible.
Most of all, above all else, maintain a close and intimate relationship with Jesus, with God and let them guide your heart and your decisions.
The thing about neglecting studying the word, neglecting prayer, neglecting church is that the devil and the influence of the world will start to weigh on you eventually and you will lose spiritual strength. Then after that happens, you'll begin going downhill and could over the long haul end up like you were before you were saved and came to know the Lord.
Yes, go back to church, keep studying, and pray all the time about everything in your life.
God Bless.

Your salvation is dependent on Jesus Christ and Him, alone. If you have asked Jesus to forgive you of your sin, He has done it. It is totally against the nature of God to say He will do something and then not do it.


Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Trust that God means what He says, but He also says to be in church with other believers. Had you stayed in church it would be easier to hang onto the knowledge of how much Jesus loves you.

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Church (Assembly of believers) is for fellowship and strength. You seem sincere and God no longer calls sincere believers servants but sons and daughters; as we no longer call Him God but Father. Christianity is not individualism but is and has always been corporate (the Assembly - the Church, His Church). You are a temple and the Church (and all assemblies in His name) are The Temple of the Spirit of God.
Find you a church and read your Bible and fellowship with others. Try to stay clear from those wanting to lord themselves over you or who speak as if other churches are wrong etc.
People tend to follow the trend or get where they are comfortable. Go to where you are challenged and a place that 'worships' more than pointing the finger. You cannot take humanity out of Church , but you can bring more of the Spirit into it. Search for peace and you will find it. God bless

I am really having problem reading a letter and don't know where I should pause and breathe. (LOL)

Anyway, seems you're caught up between church stuff and your desire to be saved.

Remember, salvation is simply NOT KNOWING THE BASICS of it. Stuffs you have cited are only parts of the whole flow of salvation. We can never attain salvation by just putting together little pieces of it. This requires deeper study of the will of God...knowing where we came before man sinned...the process of coming to Jesus...etcetera.

It's really not that simple. I mean, repenting - yes. But how would you ever know you're forgiven? We can keep on doing things we believe will lead us to heaven, but then, at the end of the day - the question remains the same - IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO GOD? Bear this in your mind, friend - unless we reach the mind of God regarding salvation - we may never make it...

I wish I could - at least, be of little help, friend. I am also in my "WALK" to God. I may not be sure of being SAVED either...but I have HIGH HOPES. And I am always willing to "WALK" along with people who wish to seek God. Walking alone could sometimes be "frustrating" y'know?

God bless you, friend....

I believe God wants us to go to church...to have friendship and fellowship with other Christians.
Heb 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
The reason is that we live in a fallen world, but we need others to help us in our walk and keep us accountable. I recommend going to church. I don't believe you have to, but it is strongly recommended. There will be a good church out there for you. You may need to try several to find the right one.
E mail me if you have questions. I can share more scripture on this.

Sister Cherry,

Take heed that no man deceive you...If you want to draw closer to the Lord read his Word, I would recommend if you have not read the Word of God from cover to cover, I would encourage you as if God was pleading with you Himself, study to shew thyself approved unto God...I have found that the Authorized Text or King James Version of the bible is the more sure Word of God.

The time has come when man will not endure sound doctrine but after his own lusts shall heap to himself teachers having itchy ears..and the truth shall be turned into fables. I would not trust any of the gainsayers of today, the church corporation of this day seeks profits not prophets.

it is better for you to get back in church because you need to be around believers that can give you support. When you're not in church you start to drift away as you have drifting signs now. You start thinking of world things and they start to becoming important to you then you start questioning God. First you will start to question if church is really important as you already have. Then things of God become less and less important to you. You need to make church and the things of God important to you first. Then he will bless you with the things that are starting to look important to you now. When you die all these things become worthless any more you cant take none of this with you. That is why Jesus ask why gain the whole world and then lose your soul.

Jesus had no particular "building" that He preached from. When He refers to the "church" in His sermons, it is the Body of Christ, His Followers.

Where I grew up there was no church that I was comfortable with, it was a really small town in the middle of nowhere. Think of the first Christians, of which few had an actual building they could congregate in.

Church as you think of it will only support and strengthen your faith, but if it is strong already - you have nothing much to worry about if you don't attend a regular service.

We are in the end days. And GOD told us not to go to a house of GOD.

Amo 5:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
One can seek HIM anywhere, and not in a church house.

Amo 5:5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.

Bethel=house of GOD. Why? GOD's is not taught there as it should be.

Amo 5:6 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and [there be] none to quench [it] in Bethel.

There are plenty of online studys. This one teaches ch by ch and vs by vs so one gets past the milk and into the meat of the WORD.
