Im a pretty new reborn christian im starting to backslide a bit but i try to keep my ear to gods word on christian radio stations and i recently attended the harvest crusade and walked down on the feild i was actually on camera during the coming forward and the bible says confess me before men and he will confess me before his father so by appearing on camera down on the feild that means i pretty much confessed god before millions watching right? im still pretty shy about witnessing to people around me i dont feel my personality had changed for the good yet and i flip and flop between sin and worship in my life so i would feel like a hypocrate if I witnessed to someone 2 minutes after acting sinfull. i would like to know if gods ok with me just witnessing online to people in chat rooms and forums instead of real life? someone help me with answers please.
If you're still slipping into sin maybe you should examine yourself as Paul tells us. Backsliding is not really a biblical term that could be used. The Word tells us that no liar, no thief, no adulterer (yes lust counts too), no idolater, etc. shall enter the kingdom of God. It doesn't say "no liar, thief, etc., who has not prayed the sinners prayer at a crusade or revival shall
enter...".
True repentance leads to salvation (2 Cor 7:10). Without repentance and turning completely from sin you will not be born again. Being born again means exactly as it says, you will become a new person by the gift of the grace of God. God will give you new thoughts, desires and priorities.
If you wake up daily knowing you're probably going to sin and make provision for it you may be in trouble. If you wake up daily making provision to please God you are ok I would think. I don't tell you this out of spite rather out of concern being that I was a church member who was a false convert for many, many years. Now I can't wait to share my faith. I have unmeasureable gratitude for being saved though I deserved death.
Remember, God sees your every thought and action. Examine yourself brother.

Just get back in shape! Find a good Bible-believing church, attend it regularly, join a ministry and a Bible study. And most importantly, pray. It sounds like you just need to get out of the world and get in The Word.
I thought witnessing was about telling people how we have experienced God or Jesus Christ in our lives.
like this... I got saved at home and it was a mighty battle for my soul.. gotta tell ya, the devil all around but Jesus kept at it day after day... I saw nothing with my eyes.. I did not see Jesus but I have felt his hands upon me and he healed me.. Jesus Christ himself I tell ou truly, no pastor no church just him answering my many prayers and crying out.. he even exorcised me yes indeed ladies and gentleman and many of you need him to cleanse you too. And a big part of why the church is in so much trouble these days is because you do not really believe. or you are afraid to believe.. repent and he will forgive.
give your entire life to him, lay it down, let him lead you. It's the best thing you will ever do.
