I have a challenge for lots of people, but you must read on to find out what it is.?

How do you know you are saved? The most common answer: because I believe in GOD. The Bible says that even the demons believe in 1 GOD (James 2:19), so what real good will that do you? Do you know that the Bible also says that Faith (or belief in JESUS CHRIST) without works is dead (James 2:20). Now to understand what GOD is saying here is very important, and your salvation depends on it. Please hear the words of JESUS when HE talked to Nicodemus, who was a Pharisee (a religious leader). HE told him that unless a person is born again, he cannot see or enter the Kingdom of GOD (John 3:1-3). I earnestly desire that you understand this because there is so much confusion surrounding this part of GOD’S Word. Understanding this is important because in this part of GOD’S WORD we find out how to be truly assured of Salvation. Somewhere along the line people started to misunderstand and misinterpret the Bible. Now because of this many people are not even sure how to get saved, also many people are not sure of their Salvation, but most people are just flat out deceiving themselves into thinking they are SAVED. Whatever the case may be I desire everyone to understand (and not be deceived) how to have Salvation and spend all eternity with JESUS CHRIST in HEAVEN. Now to understand this, again we take the words of JESUS when he talked with Nicodemus and HE said a person must be born again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Let’s notice what JESUS did not say, HE did not say you could be a good person and go to Heaven, and notice JESUS did not say that if you went to church you would/could make it to Heaven, and HE definitely did not say that another religion could save you. For JESUS said HIMSELF that HE was the way the Truth and the life, and that no man comes to the FATHER except through HIM (John 14:6). Now again what did JESUS say, HE said that A PERSON MUST BE BORN AGAIN TO ENTER GOD’S KINGDOM. Now what does it mean to be born again, and how do you know you are born again so you can enter the Kingdom of Heaven? Let me answer this for you and then please go to the Bible and check it out for yourself, and you be the judge. Now to be on the way to truly being born again your first step will be to admit your need for a Savior, because you are a sinner, for the Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD (Rom 3:23). Your second step is to repent, and to repent is to turn away from the life you are now living, and turn your life to GOD and live a new life in CHRIST JESUS, for JESUS said to those who came to HIM and wanted to follow HIM that they needed to deny themselves and take up their crosses daily and follow HIM (Luke 9:23-26). As you see JESUS tells us HE is a daily choice that involves laying your life down in order to have a new life. You see in those days when someone picked up their cross that meant that they were going to walk the road to the place where they would be crucified on that cross, and they would not be coming back alive!!! Again JESUS said to those that came to HIM “to count the cost before following HIM” (Luke 14:25-33), because again, it did and does involve you laying down your life to the LORDSHIP of JESUS CHRIST. After this your next step the Bible says, is to confess with your mouth the LORD JESUS, and believe in your heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead and you will be saved (Rom 10:9). Now once you have done all this JESUS said that the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD would come into our lives (John 7:37-39). Now how does this happen? Well it is a SUPERNATURAL change of the heart and mind. This is an invisible change that takes place inside of you the moment you give your life to CHRIST unconditionally. But there is a way we can tell if we are saved or not, and that is to take once again the words of JESUS. JESUS said that we would know them by their fruit, and that a good tree would not produce bad fruit & a bad tree would not produce good fruit (Luke 6:43-45). JESUS is talking about us here, and the fruits are the things that come out of us, like our actions and our behaviors and even the ways in which we think. The Bible says that when we are in CHRIST we become new creations in JESUS (2 Corinthians 5:17), that the old things (or ways) would DIE, and a new life would begin. So you see that GOD’S WORD is very clear to us on this point, and is saying to us that if we are truly BORN AGAIN we will think different, act different, and even see things different, YOU WILL, EXPERIENCE A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE!!! Please listen to what GOD is saying here, and listen carefully, this is your SALVATION I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE. If at one time you prayed the sinner’s prayer and you have not had a dramatic change happen in your life, “I mean a dramatic overhaul in yourself and in the life you live”, then something is wrong. So you see the works and the fruits that the Bible talks about, come from an INDWELLING OF GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT LIVING INSIDE OF YOU WHEN YOU ARE TRULY SAVED. For JESUS says that “every branch (meaning us) abiding in Me will bear much fruit” (John 15:1-5). PLEASE examine yourself and your life and ask yourself, “Am I really saved, and when I die will I truly inherit eternal life with JESUS CHRIST in Heaven forever, or am I deceiving myself?” The GOOD NEWS is that even if you are not right with GOD, you can turn right now from that old life (REPENT) and have a new life with JESUS CHRIST, and GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT LIVING INSIDE YOU AND CHANGING YOU EVERY DAY. Turn to CHRIST with your WHOLE HEART, and make HIM LORD over your life and get ready to become a new CREATION. If you turned your life to CHRIST after reading this then PLEASE start PRAYING daily, and have a personal relationship with JESUS CHRIST who loves you so much, HE died for you on a cross (John 3:16) about 2,000 years ago. Please start praying to JESUS and asking HIM to lead you to a Bible believing church that holds GOD’S HOLY INSPIRED WORD the Bible as the final authority on your life, then please GROW in GOD’S word daily and in personal fellowship with JESUS CHRIST, and I will see you in Heaven.

Nah uh. No way. I wouldn't read all that crap unless you paid me.
A man wrote those words. None of us are saved. P.S. I agree with the respondent above...I have read the bible many times, but I am not reading all the stuff.
God is dead....and someday we will be too...
I have been saved from the oppression of religion because I choose to live a life without it.
blah, blah, blah No thanks. I don't need to be "saved" from anything.
You really are a gullible, insecure person if you believe in that man-made nonsense. Grow up and get a life of your own. Or at least get an education. Strewth, no wonder Christians wonder why we find them so strange.
I'm saved. I got nooooo worries
Nobody is going to read all that gibberish.
I saved myself a lot of time by not reading all that
I don't believe either that I'm saved or not saved. It's still up to god and whatever comes upon me that determines it. I'll do my best to remain in the light and don't let the darkness overcome me. That's all I can do.
Listen Dude I love my Lord Jesus Christ and I would simply be speechless and only say I love you Lord I accept you. Please forgive me I do not deserve you.
I agree with Victoria. I fell asleep halfway through the first sentence. I'll skip reading and answer anyway: I'm not "saved". I do not have anything I need to be saved from, so I'm good. Thanks for asking, though.
Sorry but I only allow Superheros to save me...not ancient prophets.
You are passionate in your belief which is admirable. I am Buddhist and so must travel many pathways before entering Heaven. Perhaps we may meet.
Who said I need to be saved? Or had the desire to be?
Good lord, what translation are you using?!?!? I could guess... and I'll tell you now it's one of the worst translations out there. Do yourself a favor and go back to the earlier translations of the bible. You'll do yourself a big favor (especially since your intent on salvation). You'll also have to learn to interpret biblical verse better without trying to overwhelm people with it. You may do better in your quest.
way to long for me
Hmm,,,interesting,,however I am a born again Pagan,,,so i dont know how to make sense of christianities bi-partisan beliefs and illogical thinking.
Even if i haven't read all your message, it is still great to know that there are people like out there who really believe in God. I know God will use you intensely for the purpose of his glory. God bless u
AMEN Brother (or Sister). Go Tell it on The Mountain. Love in Christ.
you must have used divine intervention to forgo the character limits you must be saved
Okay let me tell u something.I'm old as dirt and my name comes from many many years ago. I have went through it all and I can honestly tell u that god was right there all the time.I mean when I look back and see everything that happen to me and now I am a school bus driver.I can honestly say god play a big role in it. So u can preach and talk all u want but until u have experience it .It means nothing. You have to let people experience things themselfs in their own time. So u can either be a jesus freak or someone that can make a difference in someones life. Good luck Oh by typing all this no one will read it all..Find a better way...
the bibles says alot of things....perfect example: "Stone disobedient children" (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) i have an 11 year old son, and it ain't happen'en.
glad i saved myself five minutes from not reading all that crap
i would much rather it be that God were the judge of that and not your or any other human.
Well..... U asked for it brother. Actually, U didn't ask (a question). U did do alot of preaching though. Do you feel like you reached just one person? With the replies, I think not.
Thanks, but no thanks. :)
What a passion ! You really inspired me to read all that stuff. Jesus Christ was a man,he is not a saviour as you say he is. In order to live,we must be born,in order to die,we must live. In order to be reborn,we must die ! As for the rest,VERY NICE ! You did get the meaning.You interpreted it right.But get this: Most people don't respect what you have written. I know people who say"I accept Jesus in my hearth" They accept him every day,and every night they find other ways to sin. What they don't know is that,when you ask for salvation. When you accept Jesus in your hearth.You can't accept him again. If you accept him,and reject the vow you made,you will not be saved.You will be judged like all the other sinners. My message for you is: Don't concern yourself with theese people,for they do not know what they want.
Dude, I 100% agree with you on this fact. Salvation is way more than just being a good person and going to Church on a consistent basis. Those things are called works, and we can't earn salvation because we are imperfect beings trying o please a perfect and righteous and just God. Unless there is a realization that there is nothing we can do to be good enough for God and then the relinquishment of our lives to take up the life that God gives us after becoming a follower of Christ, there is no salvation, thus no eternal life. And while some may see this and scoff at you (and me too for agreeing with you) keep fighting the good fight no matter what the cost. If we parish, we parish, but I'd rather be shunned by this world than be shunned by the God who sacrificed everything for me. And if any of you see this, please let go of any preconceived notions that you have about this subject and listen to me for one second. God loves you. No matter how bad your life may seem to be, God has always loved you and wanted to help you through life's many troubles. I know God seems distant, but that's only because we as a society have run so far away from Him. And even though some of the things we all do in our lives are completely against Him, He still wants us to come to Him and He wants to be the One to save us from sin and Death. Please, know what I'm saying is more than religious babble. He wishes that none will parish, but that we will all come to Him, but He gives us that choice. I pray you all will come to know His Love.
First off, that's the longest post I've EVER read!!!LOL But you are right and you put it 'all out there' very well. The part where you said about dramatic change...I think that has to do where the person is in life that got saved. I was almost a teen when I was saved, and it was not an 'earthshaking' event for me, and my life stayed the same in as far as how I acted, etc. But yes, being born again should make you realize you should WANT to change!!! Didn't God also say that a baby being born is not the biggest miracle in life...it's becoming born again that's the biggest miracle?? I think so. And for the people who are so rude and crude, why do you even COME to these posts if you're just going to trash them?? This person put alot of time and work into this post and this person deserves applaud, as he may be helping someone make the choice right now to become saved. If you people don't like the post, why not just pass on by it instead of being so nasty?? It's sad to see so many that are so mean. Are you trying to get to us to make US angry?? I'm not angry, I just can't believe you can be so nasty to someone like this. Plus....one day when you are standing in front of God and He says 'I know you not' (if you haven't been saved by then) and sends you to hell....you'll remember this person and this post. You'll remember alot....but it will be too late. You need to seriously think about this.
Good, but I think you may have missed a point. In order to be born again one must die. This dying occurs during baptism. Romans 6:3. That is what Jesus meant by being born again, the simple act of being baptized.
I read your first few sentences and came up with my answer: I don't need to be saved. Original sin is something Xtianity made up.
Are you really a Christian? Are you a Christian in name only? ·Did someone tell you that just because you confessed with your mouth that you’re a Christian? ·The bible says,” That 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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. ( Romans 10:9-10). ·Jesus said,” For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. ( Matthew 9:13). ·I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. (Luke 13:3). ·Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, (Acts 3:19). Repent means to turn form your wicked ways. ·Do you have pleasure in your sins or do you get convicted and turn from your wicked ways? ·The bible says, and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2:12) ·Does sin still run your life? ·Do you brag about your sin to other people? Do you read the Bible? Do you have a personal relationship with God? ·The only way to have a personal relationship is to talk. ·We talk to God by prayer. Have you every told someone else how they can become a Christian? Do you look forward to worshiping in church or at home? Do you have a peace in your life? Jesus would like to give you’re his free gift of eternal life if you would just repent and turn from your sins. ·Salvation is between you and God. ·No one else can get you in to heaven but God himself. ·It is not who you know, it is who knows you. ·Are you written in the Lambs book of life? We are suppose to examine ourselves with what the bible says. ·We are suppose to have works of faith that prove we are Christians. ·Do not miss understand what I am saying. ·The bible says,’ for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9). Do you have to tell people you are a Christian or can they tell by your lifestyle? ·Actions speak louder then words. · Jesus said,” but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. (John 10:26-29). Ask the Lord to forgive you and help you to break free from the bondage of sin. ·Ask Jesus to come in to your life and take over. ·We cannot defeat sin on our own we need a Savior. ·Jesus defeated sin on the cross. Jesus lived a perfect life and died for you on the cross. Being a Christian is a life style. ·Jesus will be Lord of everything in your life. ·Jesus will take us at our worse and change our lives. What are you waiting for! Take God’s free gift today! Pray from your heart to God. Ask God to come in to your heart and give you a new sprit. Repent to God and turn from your wicked life style. God can deliver you from any sin.
