Question

If I have used the phrase "Oh My God" so many times in my daily life, can I still be forgiven and go to Heaven?

Acrocanthosaurus

Community Answer

Absolutely. God forgives all sins, but that's not a free pass to do whatever you want, though. After you ask for forgiveness, ask God to give you the strength to resist saying it.

Question

Can I confess while praying?

Community Answer

Certainly. You can confess something bad you've done while praying. God wants you to talk to Him. Just tell Him what's on your mind and what's bugging you.

Question

I recently converted, but my family are atheists. Can I repent for them? I don't want them to go to Hell.

Community Answer

That's not possible, sadly. No one can repent for other people. Those people who do not believe have to choose their path, it has to be up to them. However, you can pray for them, ask for people at church to pray for their hearts to change.

Question

Is "OMG" a bad phrase? I've tried telling my friends that it is, but they won't listen.

Community Answer

OMG is "Oh My God." The Bible says that taking the Lord's name in vain is blasphemy and a sin, so you are correct. The only exception would be in using "OMG" when speaking directly to the Lord, which I assume your friends are not doing.

Question

Is God trying to get you to heaven or is he not?

Nic lasell

Community Answer

God wants the best for you, which means he wants you to come to heaven. This doesn't mean you have to. It's your choice to open your heart to Him, and if you truly do, He will surely take action.

Rachyl Elizabeth

Yes, it's always great to talk to Him. In fact, you don't just have to say this prayer. You can talk to Him about what's been bothering you, or what the best thing that happened to you this week was. He always has open ears.

Question

I want to be saved in the blood of Jesus, but I can't stop smoking. What do I do?

Community Answer

You don't have to stop smoking to be saved. All you have to do is ask Jesus to come into your heart. The Romans Road is simple. First, you have to admit to God that you are a sinner (Romans 3:23). Secondly, understand that we are unworthy of receiving God's gift and that we deserve death (Romans 6:23). Third, accept that Jesus died on the cross and shed his blood as an atonement for our sin (Romans 5:8). Fourth, ask God to save you. God's gift is free (the ending of Romans 6:23 and Romans 10:13). Fifth, receive God's free gift of salvation (Romans 9:9-10). That's all you have to do.

Question

I have cried out to the Lord many times and I'm still the same sinful creature. Why can't I change?

Theladyorthetiger

Community Answer

We are sinful beings, and we can't change. But don't worry, because Jesus died for us; we just have to believe in Him. We are clothed in His righteousness. If we do not believe, we look sinful to God and cannot enter into heaven.

Question

How exactly do I get baptized? Does it need to be in a lake? I also don't know of any one who is qualified to baptize. What can I do?

Community Answer

You can be baptized everywhere in the world, but the best way is in water. It doesn't have to be in a lake or a sea. Being baptized in water is the best because the priest blesses you and the water so you are being baptized into holy water which is great. Contact churches in your area to find out how to be baptized.

Does eternal salvation depend on baptism?

It really depends on the specific denomination's beliefs. Baptism is a big deal, but you'll still go to heaven if you follow everything else in the Bible.

Question

My mother doesn't believe of asking God into her heart and being baptized. She goes to church, prays, and is a very selfless and kind woman. Will she still go to heaven and considered a Christian?

Nic lasell

Community Answer

Though she may be a kind person, it's not the "nice people" that get their way into heaven. There is no way a person can earn their way into heaven; it is simply impossible. Jesus is the only way to eternal life; he payed the price for our sin. Unless a person truly accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour, that person is not truly a Christian.
