    How can I overcome these crazy doubts about Christianity?

    Can relate. Oft buffeted with this too, usually I pray, consider the consequences, consider the promises and consider the devil. 1. You will not defeat this without God. Pray. He breathes life into you every morning, He'll do much the same to your spirit. You need to pray to Him about this...

    I feel worse than apostle Paul

    @ 32:14: "And you can just about be sure the devil's right there telling them they committed it. Why? Anything to get them to throw their hands up in hopelessness; anything to keep people away from Christ. People say: 'Well, I think I've committed the unpardonable sin,' you will not meet a...

    What makes a true convert?

    Thankfully I am averse to sin, but I wonder whether it's for the reasons God truly wants. Initially, I hated it because it was going to drag me into hell. Eventually, I got to the point to the point where I realize sin is wickedness and a betrayal of God as well as siding with the devil. I know...

    What makes a true convert?

    I am not asking about my own condition, I am asking for opinions in regard to the title. I know what Jon Ed. thinks on converts. I know what Tim Conway, Sproul and Piper think on converts. But I still want more opinions. No data scientist ever looked at 4 sources and said it was enough. They...

    What makes a true convert?

    Have been listening to many Jonathan Edwards sermons and have been getting absolutely picked apart. Want to say I have hope in Christ, but is it self-love? Do I truly hate sin, do I view it as God sees it, etc? Want to hear what others think on it, because I don't want to be self-deceived.

    How can I make genuine repentance and become a true convert?

    Repentance is changing your mind regarding sin. Christians repent--they realize it's vile. They realize it's going to send them to hell. They read the Bible and realize they can't win against it, because they're flesh and flesh loves sin. They realize Christ cast out demons, healed lepers...

    How to Surrender time to God Everyday?

    Have been wondering, while I know we are to glorify God in everything we do, should rests be a daily occurrence or bi-daily or what? While I know that it might be the will of God that we should rest, lest we grow weary and the devil exploit us with blasphemous thoughts, I still kind of feel like...

    Can't tell if I'm saved

    I've been trying to get saved for over a month now, and I'm wondering if I was saved from the start. Over a month ago, I was drawn to the Bible after a thought told me "These women are going to kill you" while I was sinning, I brushed it off at first but after 3 times I started getting visceral...

    Pray for me to call upon the name of the Lord

    Many thanks everyone, after listening to Pastor Tim's two part series on how to be saved (), I think I finally understand what I need to do, but still I have fears. Example, I want to be free from my sins and will do whatever it takes, even parting ways with sins I previously loved, and I want...

    Pray for me to call upon the name of the Lord

    I have a deep fear of hell and I'm starting to lie to myself in believing I'm calling upon His name earnestly. I fear my heart is starting to accept the lie and my chance to be saved is rapidly reducing. Pray that the deceit be pulled out and that I would cry out to be saved from my sins.

    I have created a God of wrath who only seeks to damn, what do?

    Problem is that I haven't put my trust in Christ--because in my mind He's also that cruel judge, and I don't know if I've sincerely repented of my sins, not only because idk what repentance truly means yet but also because I don't know to what extent my repentance is coming from. Is it fear or...

    I have created a God of wrath who only seeks to damn, what do?

    Some context, before I truly came to the faith I had a tendency to listen to songs that cast God in a... ruthless light to say the least. (HANL - Deatconsciousness for example) Therefore I already have a pretty sorry view of God in the first place. However, as I have read the Bible in earnest, I...

    I sold my birthright like Esau 2 years ago is there any point in hope?

    I don't know. My thoughts are often mangled by my fear of hell but I'm tired of hurting people and myself and I hope one day I'll shun sin out of fear of hurting God. I don't want to go back to my old life but I know if He doesn't save me it's a losing battle.

    I sold my birthright like Esau 2 years ago is there any point in hope?

    Context: 2 years ago, I "came to the faith" (read the Bible) and shortly after dropped out of the faith, using a tragedy to fall back into my immorality. Although I didn't know that I had sins to repent of nor a savior to accept nor a hell to fear nor a heaven to long for I abandoned God. Now...
