Welcome! Meditate on this verse:

Romans 14:3
New Living Translation (NLT)
3 Those who feel free to eat anything must not look down on those who don’t. And those who don’t eat certain foods must not condemn those who do, for God has accepted them.

Hi, ready to help.

 

[hknowles]

Thank you all.
I have one large question now. What, if any, is the proper way to pray. I have always believed all real prayers are heard no matter how they are made, but since i have begun moving back into the faith I have had a desire to kneel for my prayers , honestly I have been reluctant to pray as much as I want due to my otwn resistance to kneel. I just want to know if I should of always knelt during prayers , or due to my leaving of the faith I am being called to kneel as a sign of my submission.

Thank you again.

kneeling is salutory but not necessary. If you are nervous about praying, you can start with some of the old formulas.

There is no sacred physical position that one needs to be in, to be able to pray. God is more interested in the condition of the heart than He is the position of the body. Christ’s instruction for prayer is in Matthew 6:5-14. If you want to be on your knees, on your face lying on the ground, or praying with your arms and hands raised toward heaven, whatever position you personally feel you need to be in, is just fine with God.

tank you daniel25 , i also was wondering about baptisms and christening , i was never baptized and believed it important but not necessary to be a true christian. Am I wrong , I have heard both sides but don't know what bible verses to read in order to know for sure.

Kneeling is not a command, but submitting yourself to God is. If you don't want to kneel then maybe you should.

Baptism is a critical part of the Christian faith. Only get baptized if you want to be a follower of Christ.
