Your boyfriend may be right about Satan wanting you to doubt your being a Christian. That's why Christians don't look to themselves for assurance but instead to the cross where salvation was won for us. Looking to Jesus and the forgiveness of sins, you are sure to know that God forgives you and you are His child.

If you want to PM me on some of your questions, feel free.

Read, meditate, and study the scritpures. Pray to the Father in the name of Yahushua Hamashiach. Your doubts and struggles are a part of being a believer. Doubts about Yahuhveh befall you due to the oppression of evil spirits who wants to cut off your seed from ever growing faith in Yahushua. Being a believer, you will face many struggles which will test your faithfullness in Yahushua. You can only serve one master, but who will you serve? The world hates Yahushua, and if you follow Yahushua, you too will be hated because they hated Yahushua first.

Hi BaptistGirl, welcome, I would suggest just share everything with the Lord. Also, read some good christian inspiring books to help build you up in the faith. Being Catholic, I love to read the lives of the Saints, I find that very uplifting. So. share everything with Jesus and read some articles/books from deep loving Christians, God bless.

Feel free to PM me BaptistGirl if you have questions or doubts you don't want to air out in public. If you aren't comfortable with me I can point you at several people who would love to help and pray with you.

Hi BaptistGirl101 :wave:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with having doubts. The wrong thing to do would be to ignore those doubts and not look for answers to those nagging questions. You will have to actively look for the answers, don't just let the doubts undermine your faith. I notice that you are fourteen...I have a 16, 13 and 11 year old. They have lots of questions as well. It's very common to go through a time period of questioning and doubting. What you are doing is taking ownership of your own faith. You want to know what you believe and why you believe it. I'm not sure if you like to read or not, but I could recommend some very good books for you to read. I have also posted several sites to browse through that have answers to lots of the questions and doubts that people have regarding Christianity. I hope they will be of help to you. :)

When you say that sometimes you feel like you are not a Christian, does that mean that you are not sure if you have trusted in Christ as your Savior?

If that's the case, please let me know at least in pm, because have I got some good verses for you.

God bless you, friend. I'll pray, whatever the problem is.
Aloha in Jesus

You are growing up and you need a grown up faith. Foget the Devil. Honest questions need honest answers.

Have a look at bethinking.org, veritas.org or rzim.org. Ther is great material there. But beware, unless you have broadband downloding will be slow, as the files can be large.

As the saying goes: "if the cap fits, wear it", i.e. face facts about yourself.

If your thinking is like those who don't know God, maybe you don't actually know him yet yourself.

Just knowing about God is NOT the same . . . remember the tree of knowledge is NOT the Tree of Life.

Have you actually received the Holy Spirit B-girl ?
Please don't assume that you have, please read Acts 8v5-16, the people believed but still needed to actually receive what Jesus gave all his disciples:-

"they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance (Acts 2v4, 33, 39).

After that the disciples were changed people !
So will you be !

1Cor.2:9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
:10: But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
