Just remember this...We all fall short from the glory of God.  It does not mean you don't have salvation....we all make mistakes, thats makes us human.

When you backslide, if you do not repent, you will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.  Sin, cannot stand in God's prescence.  If you have sin in your life, this will stop you from entering Heaven.\n\nIf all the saved people on earth, believed that once saved, always saved, then we would be going about murdering, stealing and doing all the worldly things, because whatever we do, we're still going to Heaven! Wrong teaching.\n\nThe Bible says work out your salvation with fear and trembling.  In other words it is not to be played with.  Follow the Lord, repent and enjoy your life with Him.

Avoid the false teachings of churches. They set people up. They preach and teach prosperity and blessings and then when it doesn't happen the people fall hard. True relations with God are quite different and not easy but the comfort is there. If you are truly seeking out God and need to talk you can e-mail me through my below website. I can't promise that I can help, but I try and genuinely care. I also am very busy but try to check e-mail daily. If not and I don't hear from you then best wishes in your life.

As a christian, I would like to apologise for the activities of other christians that have made you feel this way. My hope is that christians would act with enough humbleness and humility to show that they do not feel superior in any way. \n\nThank you for the question, and may God Bless You.

God can do a whole lot more than we can if we trust him and let HIM lay out the battle plan. Want to know the best way to get in sync with HIS plan to save the world? Here are some tips:  \nPraise - I tell God all the ways he is so good\nWaiting - I just close my eyes and be silent in his presence\nConfession - Acknowledge before God that you have failed in some areas of your life and ask for help with those areas.\nPetition - I ask him for good things and needs in my life\nThanksgiving - I thank him for all of the good things he has done for me\nAsk - Ask him specific questions you have about your life\nScripture Prayer - Asking for specific things from the Bible\nForgiveness - I think about the people that have affected me negatively and tell Him that I forgive them and ask Him to help them not to do those things again.\nIntercession - I pray for people I know that have needs.\n\nIf you practice these things and keep an obedient willing heart, watch the victory and souls unfold right in front of you!!!!

You are probably right, going to church keeps you accountable, and accountability is a good thing.  Otherwise you are more apt to slip away from God and your walk with him.

Yep! You are absolutely right!.. But do not apply only to Christians\nbut to EVERYBODY under God`s umbrella.\n" You should Love GOD above all things...and you should love others as yourself."\nIf you love yourself more than others... then sins started...\nBecause, it is where evil temptations can gain points from you...pushing you down... inching your way to hell. WHY ???\nAre you familiar with: comparing, judgement, vested interest, ulterior motives.....that you would be better than him ?\nThen...competitiveness, success, hatred, vengeance, cheating, lies, leading him to destructions, killing, etc..... to win from him ?\n...and many more...

You have to first do what Acts 2:38 says, repent, be baptised, and recive the Holy Ghost. But thats not it, if you don't walk with God after you recive the Holy Ghost, it doesn't matter. Also, don't do things that are "sure to get you to Heaven",but do those things you KNOW will get you to Heaven, you want to hear those words:\n  \n"Well done, my good and faithful servant."\n    Basically, just live your life to the fullest. And just because you are a christain doesn't mean that you are better than everyone else. Jesus, talked to those who were no better than us!!!!\n   HOPE THIS HELPS!

these people were probably saved tremendously from their addictions or faults. they don't have room to compromise. our jobs as a Christian is to surround ourselves with other believers. It makes us stronger and harder to break. But there are other Christians who have the ability to communicate the GOod News about Jesus Christ in a way that doesn't shut nonbelievers out. Don't lose hope!

God gives us weaknesses to keep us humble, yet he also gives us the opportunity to turn those weaknesses into strengths. \n\nIf, as a Christian, you desire to rectify the problem, go at it from a spiritual approach. First, forgive your father. It is not your job to judge him, even if you disagree with him. Your job is to love him and forgive him. Second, recognize your part in the cycle of negativity and repent. Ask your father, and your FATHER, to forgive you as well. \n\nThe same actions will always produce the same results. You must change your actions, or there will be no end to the fighting. Next time he begins to argue with you, try a Christian response. Show him love and kindness. Give him a hug and say that you love him. A christlike example is a powerful tool of peace. Remember, it takes two to fight. If all of this sounds too difficult, pray to God, who has promised that if ye knock, it shall be opened to you. Fast, pray, read your scriptures and try to be more Christlike. \n\nI won't lie to you. It may be difficult. You have, afterall, been practicing negative behaviors for 6 years or more. They are very much like an addiction that you can easily fall back into. As far as just moving out, I believe that families are sacred. You should try to mend your relationship before just bailing out. However, at age 18, you must also begin to think about living your own life and how that new life will relate to your present one.\n\nGood luck. Let me know if I can help in any way.

As Y / Answers team says: keep going -you're on a roll! \nYeah, the bible is full of contradictions as are the folks who follow it. Forgive them, for they know not what they do.

Pray about it. Think about it. pray about it. take care of yourself and your spirit because if you chose to be a messenger of God. You must be prepared for the possible suffering that comes with it. It isn't just telling people about the Gospel..it is about leading by example and living Christ-like. Read again Philippians on how Paul who was imprisoned instructs us how to live and endure like Christians. May God Bless you on your endeavors. Keep me up to date.

Not every Christian is like that.\n\nSome people put on a show for others to hide behind what's really going on in their lives, or maybe they are embarassed that they are not as "spiritually tuned in" as others.  Other times they are disappointed in themselves for not growing in their faith like others, so they adapt that cliched way of thinking, "If I act like them I'll be just like them."  \n\nOther people are overwhelmed by the temptation in their lives and don't know how to deal with it and don't know how to get help (goes back to the "putting on the show" suggestion).\n\nAs with anything that you grow in, so it is with Christianity.  You grow in your faith.  You can make leaps and bounds or you can tip-toe your way on the journey.  Some people don't move at all.\n\nDon't let the spiritual immaturity of some Christians represent that of all Christians.  All Christians are not the same (scroll through the various dogma and denomination Q&As).\n\nGod Bless You- I'm sorry if you've had any hypocritical encounters.\n-CD\n<><

The thing you need to remember is that God is perfect, but his followers aren't. I suggest praying about it. The big thing is if you believe your church is true. The Lord will let you know. If you feel it is, then it's more important to do as the Savior did and forgive, if it isn't, then it won't be hard to leave.
