    Acts 2 -- What Must I Do To Be Saved

    2 And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. Each of these festivals is prophetic for this age. The age began with the Lord’s crucifixion, Jesus is our Passover lamb sacrificed for us so that we could leave the slavery in Egypt. Pentecost is the 50th day...

    I have put my trust in Jesus

    I’ve been a seeker a while on this site but I realised I believe in what the Bible says and I believe that Jesus died and rose again to take my penalty so that I may go to heaven - as without Him I have no chance. Today I said to Jesus that I believe that he did die and rise again for me because...

    Salvation can never be lost

    Hypothetical: Suppose a man hears the gospel, believes in it 100% and that day asks Jesus to be his saviour. A) What if later in his life this same man commits adultery 20 times, rapes 100 people and murders 20 people and then kills himself. B) what if the man did not do the above but 50...

    Must I love God to be saved?

    I am a person who doesn’t really love anyone or anything. I feel a little bit dead in that sense. This always made me feel like I’ve no hope because if I can’t love myself or my family then how am I meant to love someone whom I can’t see, Jesus/God? And if I can’t love God how on earth can I...

    Is there a difference between being saved and born again?

    Is being saved when you first put your faith in Jesus? Is born again if the Holy Spirit enters you and you feel different? Should you feel different if you’ve been saved? And once you’re saved does it matter what you do afterwards? Some people say it doesn’t but some people say it does (faith...

    Am I a sociopath?

    I feel like I don’t love anyone. When growing up my grandparent died and I did not mourn or get sad. When my siblings left home I did not get sad. When my parents tell me they love me I don’t know what to say because I’m not sure if I love them. I don’t have deep-rooted feelings for people...

    Is it okay to look on the good parts of the past- or an idol

    Since quarantine I think I’ve become more grateful of all God has done. I think of recent events that happened where I was filled with joy and would praise God because His faithfulness was there. But maybe I’m looking back so much I’m missing signs of His goodness now- I don’t really know. The...

    HELP! Did I loose God’s will?

    Alright... where do I begin? Many years ago I was sexually abused. To cope with that I turned to pornography. Since I was homeschooled, I barely left the house. I had all the more time to view it. I realized I couldn’t go on living the way I was anymore and I came to God. I became pure and clean...

    How to know if they are Saved?

    Everytime I reach out to those Lost, I'm really confused sometimes. Here are my questions: - Is it possible to live a lifestyle of Disobedience like for many years, but the person said he/she really trusted Christ and repented to their Sin? - Is it possible that a person is Saved but their...

    feeling depressed. Once I'm born again will depression go away?

    As I've gotten older I've not only been learning about God but I've also been struggling. I see a mental health therapist at school, and a group skills/thereapy. and I occasionally visit my psychiatrist for meds. So I am getting the help that I need and chemically in my brain I've been doing...

    I told Jesus I believe in Him. What do I do now?

    I’ve had a lot of problems for a while which some of you probably know. Also for many years I’ve drifted in and out of church as I feared my salvation but then for periods didn’t seem to do anything about it. I find it hard to care about people and have empathy. But I have the thoughts “Do I...

    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...

    Life is ruined as not attracted to women

    I am 20 now but when I was 17 I one day just seemed to lose my sexual attraction to women - I could still recognise when I liked the look of a girl but all deeper feelings had vanished. I did bad things at the time to 'test' myself as I thought I was going mad but to keep it simple I couldn't...

    Maintaining One's Salvation Status

    Maintaining One's Salvation Status Many of the "Salvation by faith in works" Christian have proposed that one is "initially saved" by faith alone, but then must maintain their salvation status by living up to some standard of performance to be "finally saved", thus making salvation out to be...

    False teachers and walking through faith

    Never be fooled by others because there are many false teachers and prophets who want to take you away from Christ. They want you to put your trust in them and do what they say. They even use the Bible for this, but remember well: in the desert Satan also used the Bible with Christ to lure Him...

    Death of my son

    My walk-in faith took a turn when I was 52 years old, just after the death of my only child. I was living my life as a “normal person” or so I thought. In my younger years I believed we were good old boys, worked hard, played hard, drank hard, dishonest at times, had some hatred and anger but it...
