Question

Can I go to heaven if I've made fun of Christianity in the past?

Community Answer

Absolutely. The Apostle Paul didn't just make fun of Christianity, he persecuted and killed Christians. But when God revealed the truth to him, he repented of what he'd done and dedicated his life to sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. God is faithful to forgive.

Question

I have accepted Jesus and failed many times. Will he keep forgiving me?

Community Answer

He has already forgiven you. That's what he did when he died on the cross. Jesus already knew about all of your sins when he died for you. He knows everything that has happened and ever will happen.

Question

I am afraid to fully commit to Jesus. What can I do to ease these fears?

Community Answer

There's nothing to be afraid of, you are giving your life to the Lord. To ease your fears, spend time with him - through prayers, good acts, praise/worship, and be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Remember, God is love. He gave his only begotten son to die for your sins, he laid down his own life just for you, that's how much he loves you. Don't be afraid, he's protecting you from evil.

Question

What if I am unsure of my salvation? What can I do to be sure that I am truly saved?

Community Answer

Read the Bible and find verses proving Jesus is God and Savior. Read the book of Romans, Galatians, and Ephesians. These are epistles explaining that getting saved is not by your holiness, goodness, or sinlessness. God accepts that you are a sinner and He is glad if you accept it too. Believe that Jesus has saved and forgiven you through His death on the cross. One can only be sure of eternal life when he believes that Jesus paid the penalty of his sin.

Question

What if I believe in Jesus but keep on committing the same sin over and over again?

Community Answer

Because we are humans, we are full of sin. Everyone has sins they struggle with, and some sin more than others. The most you can do is pray and trust that the holy spirit will guard your heart and lead you not into temptation. Just remember that Jesus is greater than all your sin and all your victories. It is by grace you have been saved.

Question

How will I know if I'm saved?

Community Answer

Jesus died on the cross for us because we ALL are sinners, and Jesus is the only perfect one, and he and he alone died on the cross for us to take our place of destruction. God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one, God is the only God in the universe, and He loves us and takes care of us and knows us. If you understand all of this and you agree and you admit that everyone, even you yourself, is a sinner, then you are saved.

Question

If someone has killed, will the Lord forgive them?

Abbey Beaton

Community Answer

Yes. God is always willing to forgive anyone who repents from their sins, no matter how bad. St. Paul persecuted and killed Christians before becoming one of them and he went to heaven.

Question

How do I know Jesus is living inside of me?

Community Answer

Here's how I felt when I got saved. After I finished praying for Jesus Christ to save me from my sins, my heart felt instantly heavy, then light! I suddenly got something out of every sermon, and I was on fire for the Lord. I understood my Bible better, and I suddenly wanted to tell everyone about Jesus! You'll feel passionate about God.

No. Each individual on this earth is a creation of God, so by hating or insulting them, you are indirectly insulting God. Love your neighbor and avoid judgments.

Question

Why do you say that baptism is not a requirement for salvation? I'm just trying to understand it.

Community Answer

Saying that baptism is a requirement for salvation would mean that there is something we have to do before we can receive it. The word of God tells us that there is nothing we can do to earn it, meaning it is not given based on our works. Salvation is a free gift to all who believe in Jesus and His finished work on the cross. It is unmerited favor, unearned mercy. It is an act of God's love toward us. All we must do is believe it to receive it.

Question

Why do you have baptism as part of salvation?

Community Answer

Baptism is an outward expression of an inward decision, similar to a wedding ring. It shows that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior by identifying with him in His death, burial (immersion in water), and resurrection (emerging from the water). Baptism is not a requirement for salvation, however.

Question

Do I have to be baptized to be a Christian?

Community Answer

The thief on the cross had no way of being baptized, yet God said he'd be in heaven with him that very day. However, this is a rare case. Baptism is a way of declaring publicly your commitment to God, and I would strongly encourage you to do it.
