Hi everybody!

[follower08]

Hi everyone, my name is Josh, and I'm 19 and I'm just starting off as a newly baptized Christian. I was raised non-religious, but it's taken me a few years to find Christ. I started on my religious path as a Buddhist who denied the existence of God. Then over time, God revealed himself to me and I slowly began to accept God into my heart. This is when I joined the Baha'i Faith. Through the Baha'i community, they helped strengthen my faith in God. But soon after, my heart was looking for more. It wasn't enough for me to worship God. I needed a relationship with Him, and God made it easier for me to have a relationship with Him through his Son, Jesus Christ. I then started attending churches and classes, and then I prayed about if I was doing the right thing, and I believe that the Holy Spirit guided me toward my baptism this Easter. Although I've decided to put my faith in Jesus Christ, there are times when I am doubtful, so I decided to look for a community along with my church to help me strengthen my faith. I hope my search will end here Thank you all for taking the time to read my intro. I hope to learn about you all and become a part of this community.

Hi and welcome.
You are not the first person to have doubts and you wont be the last. I, like you was not raised in a religious family. It can be hard to change your perception of everything you know and put your trust completely in Jesus Christ above all else. But I strongly believe that this will get easier to do along your journey with God. Get closer to God through prayer, scripture and fellowship with like minded people. You will find them in abundance on this site.

Feel free to PM me or post on my profile if you like for advice, fellowship or just to air your worries

God bless

Hello!!

Welcome to Christian Forums! I am so glad that you decided to join the site. This site is full of wonderful Christians who love to praise God, fellowship and just have a good time. I am sure that you will quickly meet many new brothers and sisters in Christ. If you are wondering where a good place to get started on the site would be, I would recommend that you check out the Edification and Life Stages boards. Edification allows you to participate in Biblical studies, to ask other Christians questions, and to post prayer requests. Life Stages is designed for people to meet and talk to people at different stages in their lives. There are many more options on this site, and if you would like for me to recommend some more for you please feel free to send me a private message.

To access the men's forum you will have to request access.
There is a sticky thread in the How To Forum to request access:
If you have trouble accessing the Men's forum - post here.

You need 50 posts to be able to include links/images in your posts.

You need 100 posts to be able to participate in the chat box.

I would also recommend that you check out the Blessings Exchange. This board allows you to play games and participate in fellowship threads to earn extra blessings, the site's currency. You can use your blessings for such things as purchasing items for your Living Avatar or creating a Pet.

The simplest way to earn blessings is by posting. You may earn anywhere from 5-10 blessings per post depending on post size. You may also get a Job here at Christian Forums to earn extra blessings. All you are required to do is post and collect your salary every week! The more you post, the more blessings you earn. You must have at least 100 posts to select a job. After you start earning blessings, you can deposit those blessings in a savings account at the Christian Forums Bank. By depositing your blessings in a savings account, you are able to collect a 1% interest on those savings each week! I do advise you to only deposit blessings once per week since the timer resets each time you deposit or withdraw blessings.

If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message!!
