I asked to be saved by Jesus Christ two weeks ago, but completely forgot about it.

I personally have a higher standard for a 'god' than just some dude laying about with a spliff and a pint in a council flat. Calling yourself god is like everyone getting a trophy for simply showing up

Nope. You are wrong.

And where is that quote from? Jesus never said that.

"...your knowledge what enables you...?"

think about reality.

Jesus did not stay in his home and expect people to come to him.

Jesus went out into the temple and taught (He was the son of God), even the religious needed teaching, because they had been teaching things wrong. He traveled and mingled. He performed miracle. He listened, He touched, He cried, He ate with the unlovely, He forgave sins, He worked on the sabath, He stood before arrogant fools and let their tongues flick lies on his head, but Jesus stood strong, took the punishment FOR ME and YOU, and went to the cross, bleeding suffering and dieing.

He didnt stand around waiting...he went forth.

THe disciples were instructed by the resurected Jesus to go forth and teach, spread the gospel. Touch the unbeliever, listen to them, share food with them, and if they will not listen, move on---much work to do in their now very short lives, because there was going to be great suffering and heartache for the new Christians and the word must be spread.

How lucky we are to live in the time we live, where we can go forth in relative safety, not worrying about our heads rolling to share the gospel. To share with other like minded Christians. We can visit many churches over time and decide and discern who speaks truth (the bible) and who is progressive and leaning away from the truth (prophisized lukewarm churchs of the endtimes).

You have time to share your love of God and give him glory, this is why you were born, to receive the word, give God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit glory, rub elbows with the like minded, find a church because we need the family of church people in our lives to encourage us. Spread the love, the light, be the salt of the earth.
This is not tv, you are not going to receive a glowing magical light and the outside of you is going to suddenly 'change'. The change happens from within. It won't be a change you see, but a change that those who knew you before will see. They will see the change of your heart that only Jesus can change. They will see the change of your actions, because you will no longer do selfish childish things with your tongue and your life, but you will love others, give for others, spread joy and laughter, and know that you are loved and forgiven, what unbelievable happiness that will make in your every day life!

Don't believe in magic.
Believe in the works of a loving God who came to earth and died for you. He did the work, he did the hard work, he did it all, you do nothing but believe, have faith and go forth.

Congratulations Dave!

As many others have already stated, you've made choice, now it's time to start listening to His (God) voice (the Bible).

I'm very proud of you and like Lisa offered, I'm here for you if you'd like to talk or have questions. Some conversations or questions you may feel more comfortable with a male (which I am), so you have an open invitation to talk about whatever is on your mind.

Would you have at least an average IQ you would be able to find the answer in my posting.

For mentally limited people (for you) here again: He talks to me since more than 15 years.

That is not God who is talking to you. You are channeling deceiving spirits.

Technically means care.

Got saved recently.

Started going to church, gave tithes.

And few months later, someone fully bought a BMW for me, fully paid.

Also, was offered a full time job position, with a quadrupled income.

My advice is start going to Church, but do this with no selfish motivations. For example, what gains I can get from this. I go, because I believe this is what God wants from all us.

Also you may want to list our your problems. Others may be able to give help and advice.

As a general rule of thumb, tackle your problems slowly and one at a time. So it's not so overwhelming.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

god always had your back, from the first breath of creation, no need for saving you already are!!

Also, if you've been saved, remember you will now spend an eternity in heaven, and not in hell.*

This one fact alone, now makes everything else, and problems that once seemed so big, now seem trivial. and minor.

*I do believe we can lose our salvation, or "have our name blotted out of the book of life," so it's important to do our best not to sin, and remain obedient to God.

Dear brother: No magical wording, sinners prayer, easy believism or church is going to save your soul. Salvation is of the LORD alone, regardless of the will of man. It is God who quickens the spirit. The preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those of us that have eternal life, it is our most sincere hope. You cannot understand the things of God, nor will you desire them, in your natural "unsaved" state. The very fact that you are crying out to God and seeking His salvation is evidence that you have already been born again. Just as a baby knows nothing and must survive on the absolute care of its mother, so you, being born again, understand very little about God, life, and what it means to be a Christian. Read a KJV of the Bible and ask for the Spirit to guide you in rightly dividing the Word of Truth (discernment). Here is a good sermon for you to listen to, and a great website that I pray will help you in your walk:

You are right. I do not talk to God because God is no single soul and this is not possible. I talk to Jesus Christ.

Absolutely amazing account!

With all that I came across, it's now impossible for me to deny Christ.

Absolutely not true, the Rosery is a very powerful prayer, try it sometime and has nothing to do with "idol worship" as you say.

Oh dear christ, this is going to keep me entertained for fucking hours!

Can you condense that to one sentence ?

Jeremiah 2:2 New Living Translation (©2007)
"Go and shout this message to Jerusalem. This is what the LORD says: "I remember how eager you were to please me as a young bride long ago, how you loved me and followed me even through the barren wilderness.... Young or old we should follow our heart toward the Lord and not away from Him. Deeds and actions will not save a soul but the knowledge of the Lord is our goal. How will we attain knowledge if we do not search for it? He lives in our heart if we follow our hearts that directs us to Him. Its not just a prayer but an ongoing transition to Heaven the Kingdom thereof.

King James Bible Philippians 2:12

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling......Ahhh! the language of the ancients. The modern version as in today's comprehension of a spiritual language in our modern times and modern language is this: Be certain and concerned that you have a personal connection to the Almighty who created you.

YES, SINCERITY is the key. When a person truly repents, then he/she receives the love of the truth so as to be saved. Then they have a thirst for the Living Water and want to learn as much about Jesus and about His instructions and as much about the entire history of mankind that God has given us (it's there in the Bible) as they can. If a person who "repents" has no change in his heart and life, then the repentance probably is not genuine.
On the human level, envision a guy who professes his love for his beloved. Then he leaves, doesn't think about her FOR TWO WEEKS... Then he says, oh, my I told her I love her and I haven't given her a thought in two weeks. Was his love genuine?????? If he does not do everything he can to please her, does that indicate any love for her? If he does not want to live for her and make her happy, does he love her?
When you love someone, you give all you have to give to demonstrate that love. If you just want to take all the advantages of getting love from another individual, then it isn't love. Jesus wants your heart; He isn't interested in empty words. If a man professes love for a woman, then just forgets about her, then it was only lip service, not a committment. Christians in-name-only are worse than infidels--they give sincere Christians a bad name. The Bible says that we true Christians have "received the love of the truth so as to be saved." Do you love His truths? Do you love His Word? Do you trust Him in everything you do? If you never think about Jesus and if you have not surrendered control of your life to Him, then you do not love Him.

Merle Haggard - On The Jericho Road [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]
Oh, brother, to you this message I bring
Though hope may be gone, He'll cause you to sing
At Jesus' command sins shackles must fall
On the Jericho Road you will answer His call.

On the Jericho Road there's room for just two
No more and no less just Jesus and you
Each burden He'll bear each sorrow He'll share
There's never a care for Jesus is there.

The Million Dollar Quartet - Just A Little Talk With Jesus [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul; It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above, And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole.

The lies one must tell himself to not feel completely and utterly retarded for talking to himself. When you look to Jesus for guidance you are doing nothing more than peeking into your soul and begging yourself for forgiveness. When you understand you control your destiny and no one else, you will start to see a change.

Have you ever heard of a placebo effect? That is religion. A false intangible that mentally suppresses ones insecurities.
