The gospel message is that of repentance. Which is hardly preached in "church" anymore. A sinners prayer won't save you. You MUST repent of your sins and deeds from your heart.

The Church is a gathering of believers. You need to be a believer and be "born again" before you attend church with believers. If you came to this web site, and you are not a "born again" Christian, continue to read his.

If you are not sure you are a "saved" person, you need to know what God has said to us, ever since the time He created us. He had it all recorded. We call it the Word of God, or, most commonly, the Bible. You can find all He has to say to us in this amazing Book of His. In the Bible you will find that we are not going to go to heaven unless you know and trust God. You need to understand what His Son Jesus did for us by living on this earth for 33 years, dying a terrible, painful, agonizing death, and then was resurrected so that we can be 'born again'.

We can not be "saved" by the type of 'church' we attend, what kind of a church our parent's attend, or even by attending or belonging to any 'church'. You are not saved by having a 'relationship" with God. You are not saved by baptism.

You are saved by grace through faith in Him. If you want to be "Born Again", in Jesus, you need to have faith in Him. You need to have Faith in His Son, whom we call Jesus. Not faith in yourself or the things you do, or don't do (because how many good works will you have to do? how many sins will you have to avoid?). This faith comes from God, as a gift to you. He gives it to those He desires to give it to. Ask Him for it (pray). Read His Word, the Bible (I would recommend the Book of Romans, to read about this faith you want from Him). If you do not have a Bible, then pray to God, and ask Him for this Faith.

If you want to grow in God, after being saved, you need to read the Bible. It will become the 'Bread of Life" to you. If you cannot afford to buy a Bible, e-mail The Christian Home Church Network at bible@christianhomechurchnetwork.com , and we will send you a Bible.

Jesus on prayer.
