Don't worry about finding a Church, you have all you need to grow in grace prolly already, a Bible (Romans 10:17 "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God"), you can praise and worship him by yourself, jsutr praise him with your prayers/words when you are alone (Exodus 34:1-9), and if you would like sound examples of praising him, look to the psalms, and then fellowship with believers (which you can do right here at the Christian Forums) and I will add that fellowship shouldn't necessarily be a social thing, when you are "fellowshiping" with fellow believers, talk about spiritual things, like what the Lord is doing in your life. Another verse that I would just encourage you with is Philipians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:" also I would point you to I John 1:9 (see below).I decided quite awhile ago that I wanted to become a christian. I haven't found a church I like, or feel I have given up all things that are morally wrong yet.
Something that really helps is prayer. Ephesians 6:18 says "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" Praying really helps when dealing with your sins.
See aboveSo, I am curious about what kind of things I should do to make myself a better chrisian.
AMEN!!!! That is so true!!!Develope a relationship. God is a relationship orientated God, He wants to be a father, a friend, and a comfort to you. Start by reading the Bible and asking God what He is saying (I mean really ask Him). Don't be afraid to ask out loud even when you friends are studing with you (God may give them the answer). God will always give you the answer that you ask for, its promised in His word. Ask Him what is He trying to say in the scripture, and what is He trying to say to you. God will talk to you, I promise.
I Corinthians 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God" Ask yourself, is the music giving glory to God? This is something that we should all ask ourselves and make changes cause many of us do things that may not be bad, but are they glorifying to God?Another thing I wonder about is the kind of music I listen to...how can I tell whether it not fit for a christian to listen to? (I tend to listen to heavier stuff)
I John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Thats what the Bible says Praise the Lord for that being true!!!I feel guilty every time I do something I know is wrong. Will God keep forgiving me, or is there a point where he won't?
I haven't either but that is something that I would do soon cause our Lord Jesus Christ commanded us to (Matthew 28:19-20). It doesn't even necessarily need to be at a church, any believer with more than one believer present can't baptize you in a body of water where you can be fully submerged.But like someone mentioned, you do not need to be baptized to be saved.BTW, I am not baptized yet.
Thats God trying to help you grow Now try to make changesI feel guilty every time I do something I know is wrong.
About Sex, that is something that many do struggle with, and while there is absolutely no excuse for sin, that is somewhere many chrisitans are weak and the Devil knows it, and thats why he uses it to hamper so many Christians' walks'. I really would encourage you to read your Bible and Pray, if there is anything that has helped me grow over the last 2 years since I actually became a believer, it has been my persistance (even tho it didn't always seem like it was helping) in reading my Bible. I just cannot encourage it enough, READ YOUR BIBLE!!!!
I send my love and I will be praying for you. Its a wonderful thing to grow and be in a relationship with Jesus Christ!!!!
