backslider

    God had me, the moment I confessed my sin. All my back-sliding washed away.

    Hi there, So I struggled for a long time, about being a backslider, about not being diligent in the faith - which I had come to know. For a long, long time I thought that fixing the backsliding was something I had to do. I tried confessing, I tried baptism, I tried changing my faith - none of...

    Struggling a lot with my mental health and desperate for help

    Hi my name is Andrew and I’m 20. In the past 3-4 years my life has fallen apart due to my mental health. When I was growing up I took my christian faith seriously and believed 100% in God, Jesus, bible etc. When I was 15 I was friends with an atheist at my school and he never tried to discourage...

    I can’t take God and faith seriously

    when I was young I grew up in church and had very strong faith however I always had fear that I wasn’t saved. When I was about 15 I got doubts and I stopped going to church as my faith in God deteriorated. I am now 20 years old and have been back to my old church 4 times in the last month. But I...

    Not saved

    I was brought up in church and Jesus/God was very important to me and I was fearful of God. Then I turned 15 and sat beside an atheist in my religious studies class and he never said anything in particular that made me doubt but the number of things he'd say to me gave doubt over time and I...

    I find it hard to believe in God and I don't really care - what should I do?

    I use to go to church as a boy and really did believe in the bible, Jesus, God etc but then I started getting doubts when I was 15 about 3 years ago and my faith diminished quite a lot. I tried coming back but couldn't actually believe in my heart - when I think of God now it doesn't feel real...

    Rage against Everything, including God

    Hi all, I've recently realized that I cannot seem to ever recover from my intense hatred and rage against God at certain times. I used to be a church-going, God-loving youth. There was a time I even had daily quiet time, lead youth groups, was actively serving in church. I went through a...

    Fearful backslider

    ive heard it said that a true Christian will never fully doubt, a sin never backsliding to the point of being an atheist or other religion follower. Does this mean I was never saved before I backslide? And can I be saved now? Is eternal life conditional on 100% of the time faith?

    What did I do?

    I'm really worried and confused. I feel sometimes like I went too far. Hebrews 6:4-6 seems to say I can't come back from backsliding (I even had a Taoist phase, I regret it so much. A lot of verses seem to say like IF you perservere and believe 100% to the end you'll be saved otherwise not)...

    Forever Lost???

    I have an uneasy feeling. Ten years ago when I became a believer I was on fire for the LORD. I believed in orthodox christian teachings, I went to church, I read my bible, I prayed. As the years went by I grew colder, little by little. First, it was Open Theism and the teachings of Greg Boyd...

    I want God to come into my life and actually experience him

    When I was growing up a was crazy about God but I always felt that I was never good enough and that I wasn't saved or something and I would never get into heaven. This feeling continued and I eventually fell away because of it. I never lost belief in God and became atheist or anything but I lost...
