I know you may not believe the Bible is 100% true but I am going to reference it to show you how some of your beliefs are wrong:
1. I don't believe the bible is 100%
2 Timothy 3:16-1716 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
2. I don't believe in the rapture.
Matthew 24 and the whole book of Revelation sight the signs of Christ's return. Many Christians have already noticed these signs.
3. I believe in Jesus and GOD
This is the only way you can be saved from hell:
John 20:3131But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
Roman 10:9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Jesus is God, they aren't two seperate people.
4. I believe in ghost
People either go to Hell, or go to the kingdom of God. There are such things as demons, however.
5. I believe in recarntion
This is simply not true because of the above stated fact.
6. I don't believe in condeming people
Christians shouldn't condemn people; it's simply not their job. However, it is their job to tell others about Christ and show others that they are sinning. But if you're talking about God condemning people, then he doesn't. They condemn themselves.
John 8:7 speaks of condemnation:
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
7. I don't believe anyone goes to hell but the truly wicked.
How do you define "wicked?" God defines wicked in Roman 1:29-31 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
8. I believe the only sin is hurting others or yourself
Sinning in any fashion hurts other people. Everyone sins, on a daily basis. Your pastor is no more holy than you are, he sins also. Refer to the above-mentioned passage of scripture to identify some forms of sin.
9. I believe animals have souls.
Jesus didn't come to earth to save animals. In fact in the Old Testament, the Jews sacrificed goats as "sin offerings" to put their sin on the goats and kill them.
Leviticus 23:19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
10. I'm starting to prefer girls over boys.
Homosexuality is a sin. I understand this sin because I used to believe that I liked girls too, before I was saved. God destroyed a town full of homosexual men.
Genesis 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
11.I'm a harry Potter fan.
There is some debate about Harry Potter among the Christian world, but I can tell you that since I have been saved God has kept me from reading the new Harry Potter books, I just haven't had any desire to, and let me tell you, I love them before I was saved.
God does not like any witchcraft, and even though the witchcraft in Harry Potter isn't real, it is still witchcraft.
Deuteronomy 18:10
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Many times in the Old Testament the Jews turned to other gods, besides the Lord and practiced witchcraft and were rightly punished for their sins.
I hope that this helps. No one is to tell you that you aren't a Christian, however, Christians can usually tell if people are Christians by the fruit of the spirit they are producing (Galatians 5:19-24:19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.).
If after reading this you have realized that you aren't a Christian then pray this prayer: So now all you do is help others to be rescued, and you dont even have to do that, but, once you are a Christian, you dont have to do anything to keep it, but it is a good idea to help others become Christians and its great to do good things too, but all the stuff you can do cannot save you from hell. Remember the only thing that can save you from hell is faith in Jesus. No amount of self-punishment, meditation, baptism, worship, sacrifice, or chanting will save you. Well theres my spiel, take it or leave it, but if you want to accept Jesus and officially become a Christian (and dont know how to pray, or dont know what to say) pray this prayer: Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness. I believe that your only Son, Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin. Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus, transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself. Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life. Amen.
God Bless,
