How do I become a Christian?

[knowledge999999999]

"so many conflicting influences in the world" Why? I believe that there are many who are slaves to their own ignorance. The world is full of vanity and hypocrisy... I feel that the world must be shaken and all that is of man must be revealed. God will not be mocked.

[knowledge999999999]

Lets not turn away from the scriptures... We cannot save ourselves. Beware of those who do not understand the scriptures.

[knowledge999999999]

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.... " The gospel teaches us all we need to know to return to live with our Father in Heaven."

[WretchedRecords]

God is love. Love is not jealous. God is a jealous God?... Hmmmm.

[sammybarnet]

@WretchedRecords Define love.



[WretchedRecords]

@sammybarnet If you asked a thousand different people to define love, you'd receive a thousand different answers, but ultimately, love is all about connection. I don't see how defining love has anything to do with the Bible contradicting itself yet again?

[sammybarnet]

@WretchedRecords Love is earthly, god is defined as un-earthly, there is the contradiction.

[Imanuelization]

@WretchedRecords If God is love, then why in the hell does he hate Gypsies so damned much? I am a member of the worlds most hated people in history, not even the Jews can hold a candle to how much we are hated and despised! and no one knows how hurt we are and the terrible anguish we suffer, even Christians hate us. So why does God have to? If he don't hate us, why are we served like we are?

[MrAizen187]

God loved us this much that he gave us a way out, to bruise the head of the serpent, God wants to make us a more righteous people, a vercoming sin, tblessed nation, ohat we may be perfect, have everlasting life..God is taking care of everything and all he asks is that we BELIEVE.

[Imanuelization]

@MrAizen187 God is taking care of everything? is he? what about the profound hate of Gypsies? does he love them also? did Christ die on the cross for us too? if God is taking care of everything why are we, who happen to be the most profoundly hated people in the world, also not part of his plan? can you answer that? Can you tell me why he has abandoned us to our pain, persecution, anguish and despair? Or is it true what Christians tell us, that God really do hate us?

[TheNkui]

Hail satan, tonight lets sacrifice lambs and pout the blood! :)

[osummuso]

Why not just believe in what you want to and allow others to do the same?

Do you listen to them, in the same way that you expect them to listen to you?

The difference between those states, boils down to your own issues and ego, not theirs!

[revjimbob]

God creates us with lusts and greeds. Then he blames us tortures us for it. For ever.

[63Europium]

so what you are saying is that if i belive in a woodcarving bastard who lived 2000 years ago in a desert then i will spend all time in heaven speaking to a schizophrenic blood thursty maniac?

[avdmeers]

Drill hole in skull and pour acid in it. Don't need 9 minutes to make a video about that.

Thanks you.

wait you are right but remeber faith without works is dead

[HelloMan93]

So Jews are screwed then?? Since they don't believe in Jesus, but they DO believe in God....does that mean they're doomed??

[AFDThatsme]

@nonon19451 why use energy disproveing it? Do you have proof that its not true? I was depressed and lost. did not se a point of my existence! So I screamed out, unless there is a greater meaning to my life kill me now! Jesus came in 2 my life and gave me all the answers I Needed! Gave me the meaning of my life, hope and joy! and I know he exists! So if you do not have any evidence that he does not exist, I ask you 2 please shut up! Btw i can also make anything look bad using the right words;)

[moirm2]

Can you put your trust in the protestant bible, or does it have to be cathlic? I'm going to church this sunday for the first time, but it's a protestant church. should I travel only a mile further to the cathalic church?

[IIZODIIAC]

i truly want to believe in god but cant accept it i need more evidence, not a story

[Hufflewaffle]

@IIZODIIAC The real question is why do you want to believe in God. What is it about the notion of God that appeals to you?

[jlew92xx]

god cannot look upon sin... this is just pure bullsh*t. the same god that created energy time and space with a point of his finger has something he cannot do. lets allow that sin is a problem. so this god's best way of fixing it is "a human sacrifice in primitive Palestine which the news would take so long to spread that it hasn't penetrated large parts of the world... this is nonsense. it can't be believed by a thinking person." Hitchens. noah flood is more likely to be true than this.

[bushhill7]

The only people that do not except Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior are those who are either suffering from ignorance, pride or some moral issue in their lives. We as Christians will all pray for the lost soul that is hurting so much that he has to curse the followers of the only

one that died for him on the cross. Like I always told my students, if you listen you will learn, if you don't you will burn.

acts 2:38 is the way..not any confession or sinners prayer peter said repent and be baptized...Jesus said in john 3 tht u must be born of water and spirit to enter the kingdom of God so confession dnt save u..2 person of the trinity???study ur bible br. u need revelation before its too late.the real Jesus is the father in the flesh

[simcult]

How to become a Christian:

1) Feel guilty about being imperfect.

2) Believe a story about mythical invisible man in the sky (without a slither of evidence) and how he can save you.

3) Give some money to the people telling you the myth

4) Tell everyone else they should believe what you believe

5) Repeat steps 1 to 5.

[14SarahAnne]

@simcult Actually;

1) Accept that you are not perfect and that there is nothing you can do to save yourslef.

2) Read the evidence in the bible and in other historical book about how Jesus came to save us.

3) If you love someone and want to help them, help by praying, giving them a gift of money etc

4) 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel'

5) Confess your sin to him and he will forgive you and he promises to protect you and love you and when you die, you will go to live with him in heaven

[simcult]

@14SarahAnne Oh, sorry my mistake - I forgot 3 extra steps:

6) Ignore any other facts, beliefs, or perspectives on the subject - especially those that contrary to your own.

7) Don't care about what you believe, and certainly don't check the reliability of your 'historical evidence'.

8) If it all gets too hard to defend, attack someone else's belief system. Works a treat!

[horseman528]

A person doesn't have to be part of a church to be saved? Acts 20:28 says Christ purchased the Church with HIs own blood. To say that one can be saved outside the church is to say that one can be saved outside the blood of Christ. Acts 2:47 says that the Lord added to the church daily those who were being SAVED. Christ said in Matt. 16:18 that on the rock o Peters faith in Him that He would build His church. Read the bible .

[purplejellyfishable]

god is imaginary, think about it for an hour or so and see how much sense the world make, christians go fuck yourselves :D

[SturmKorps]

@purplejellyfishable

You should be moer tolerant, if you want to be happy in this life you must learn to socialize with those whom you disagree with.

[MrWat2watch]

@purplejellyfishable lol why are searching how to become a Christian then..???? how can you explain our existence

[Redcaster916]

We must question the existance of all powerful, all knowing god who creates faulty humans and than blames them for his own mistakes.

[rossdaboss1959]

I say good video, it just needs God's plan of salvation according to Acts 2:38. This is the way the church got started and the Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans all came the same way. Acts 2:4, 2:38, 10:44--48, 19:1-6, Mark 16:16, Romans 6:3-5, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Galatians 3:27, Ephesians 4:5-6. 1 Peter 3:21. One can't escape baptism of the water and spirit. There's no sinner's prayer in the Bible. We have to come the way God set up on Pentecost. The Bibleway is the only way. man can't change it.

This book also speaks about spirit mediums, the false teaching of purgatory and discusses scientific facts discovered in the bible long before modern science. This book, God willing, will help you win souls.

[Hufflewaffle]

Discover and follow your own beliefs but do so with intelligence, depth, sensitivity and most of all with great care. Do not trust this guy. He may look like a comforting father figure but don't be fooled by his manner. Listen to what he is actually saying.

Jesus SAVES us from God??!!! What???!!!! If Jesus and God are the same, then he's saving us from Himself? I'm confused!

[DjGuitarplayer7]

@toiwin that might be true but believing him is one thing but trusting that he has saved you and he has tookin your sinns away is the way to heaven

[thetruth786110]

I do get angry but i usually stop talking to people and thats the end of it. I think i am alirght as a person but i could be that i am not even remotely good enough for god. I read the quran and i found it not dangerous as most people think but its just not sounding right to me. I want to read the bible but i see christians not beleivng about evolution. I dont know much about judasism. I am born into a muslim community but internally i am a atihest.I dont know what to do.

[orderofmelchizedek1]

@thetruth786110 What you need to do is to pour out your heart to God and tell him you want to know the truth, that you are tired of not being sure of what to believe. If you really mean business, God will reveal himself to you. He will never ignor you if you are serious. You must be TOTALLY honest with Him, and then continue to seek Him. When He speaks to you, don't attribute it to something else, it will be God. He reaches out to those who seek Him in ways you will not expect.

[Redcaster916]

@orderofmelchizedek1 how would I do that? and how would I know?

[toiwin]

@thetruth786110 what is God doing and saying to you at this moment. ? I will pray that Jesus come and give you dreams and visions that will help you to see the truth. But there is one member of the God Head that is being left out, The Holy Spirit. In the bible, Jesus walked in the Spirit of God, and he went neither to the left or the right nor said anything without the prompting ot the Holy Spirit of GOD, You will need to be baptised in the Holy spirit, then he will guide you.

[thetruth786110]

i am not a christian and that is because i am really really confused. I have never had sex, drunk , smoked, alright i have lied but i never ever said a lie which caused major harm to anyone and i have lusted but its usually through masterbation or wanting to fall in love with someone. I respect my family and i see the pain of the world. I dont do chairty. I work hard to create wealth but not for cars etc but to feel like i can achienve sometihng in life.

[SnarkLicker]

I'm crying in despair because I look at the hatred and murder and abuse and vengeance and the repulsive, inhumane things Christians do in Jesus' name and I just can't make that be love. When I consider the world you wish on my sons - full of war and death and torture and hatred - I only feel fear. Please don't kill my children. I know you think murder is love, but I'm begging you to please reconsider. How can Jesus want you to hurt people like this?

[orderofmelchizedek1]

@SnarkLicker What exactly are you talking about? Jesus never taught anything but to "love thy neighbor as thyself". The God of the Old Testament handled sin and unbelief in ways that while being just(contrary to what you've heard) differ from how He has chosen to deal with them since His Son Jesus gave His life for mankind on the cross at Calvary. Jesus never taught murder or anything else you ascribe to Him. I will wait for you to reply.

[RscforeverG]

So even if I donate all my money to charities when I die, and if I don't believe in jesus or god, I'll go to hell???????

Well then your god sounds jelous and greedy....

[eratemp]

@RscforeverG Does donating your money to chrity mean you are a good person ?, i can donate money to charity and still go and shoot my neighbour in the head tomorrow, how does this make me a good person ?

what does donating money to charity have to do with your personality, God looks at you the individual not the things you do, So before you blasphemy about God consider things like these from a common sense point of view, how does donating make your personality itself better?

[svenjohan1001]

IndianYungster33,

One of the best things I ever learned is that God's glory and my joy are not at odds with one another. God created us for His glory, to magnify His Name, to image Him correctly. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, we have inherent dignity, and we are created in His image. The problem is that we don't live for His glory, that we view Him more as a powerful Ruler (which He certainly is), but not as a loving Father. We see Him as a God who needs to be appeased and feared..

[svenjohan1001]

...and thus we approach Him as Someone who has power over us and makes us do things we really don't want to do. Our relationship is based on fear, rather than on love. God is certainly to be feared, as it is "the beginning of all wisdom," but the Christian's motive to go to church, worship, obey, isn't done out of fear, but from love for Him. The truth claim that Jesus makes is not a power play to get you to conform to some sort of boring religion or list of do's and don'ts. You see....

[svenjohan1001]

Jesus Christ has made the claim that He is the Way and the Truth and the Life, and that nobody comes to the Father but through Him. He has made a truth claim here, and one can look at that claim as a way of getting power over someone. But, Jesus claim comes from a heart of love, because He knows what we were made for, namely Himself. We were made for Jesus!! Like a fish is made to live in water, and it flourishes in that environment, so you and I were made for Christ. We were made to know..

[svenjohan1001]

Him, and glorify Him, and worship Him. In fact, if God offers us anyone other than Christ, He is an unloving God. Only Christ is big enough and amazing enough to worship, and God wants to set sinners free in order to do what they were created to do, make much of Him.

Therefore, worship is more of a response on part of the believer to all that God is for us in Christ. It is a response of love to the One who loved us enough to die on a cross for us. Worship becomes spontaneous, not forced or.

[svenjohan1001]

dull, but genuine and heartfelt. Church and Bible reading and fellowship, instead of being dull and boring, become for a believer a necessity and joy.

I guess what I'm saying, man, is that you need the Gospel to liberate you from a religion of fear into a relationship based on love. May God bless you and reveal Himself to you through His word and by the Holy Spirit.

Also, you should check out Desiring God.org. I think you may find it to be very informative and helpful.

[IndianYungster33]

I stole,I swear,I Lied, i disrespected my parents, I am a sinner. im angry with myself for writting this but i need to write this, what do i do? right now im feeling like i've done something bad. i'm confused why do i feel like this? i feel bored and wanting to leave when i am in church or where prayer is being held. I'd rather be listening to metal and rock.. I do not want to live like this any more. what do i do?

[marckjoy2007]

I love this video! He absoulutly unterstands what it means to be saved!!

What do you think of Hell is it eternal or is life extinguished in the second death?

[chilimaan]

You're a Calvinist. You believe God chooses believers. Not the other way around. No one can ever "become" a Christian in your theology. Liar.

[MrAceready]

thank u so much,i prayed and i feel good,may u and your family be blessed

[Cartoonistforjesus]

Great Video brother it speaks 100% truth !!!

[BohemianBlasphemy]

Credulity, credulity, credulity!

The bible explicitly recommends it!

[crazy4carolyn]

That is ALL presuming that that 2000 year old book was ACTUALLY spoken by a diety! Get real! Do some ACTUAL historic research and you'll see that, although Jesus may have been an actual good person..., that's ALL he was! A person! Tales got stretched in the passing around! Nothing was written until 70 yrs after his death! Do more research!

[RobertsonDirk]

@crazy4carolyn scholars felt the same way you did, and denied the prophecies of jesus in the old testament. they said the "tales" of jesus and his coming were inserted after his death. however, the dead sea scrolls proved the prophecies were written tens and hundreds of years before the actual events. anyone believing otherwise is feeding into satan's lies.

[crazy4carolyn]

@RobertsonDirk Okay, I can see that there is no sense in trying to have an intelligent conversation w/ you because you are quite obviously brainwashed and "bathed in the spirit". So we'll just agree to disagree. Oh.., and on that prophecie thing; wasn't it Jesus who said (paraphrasing, but very close! Believe it's in Matthew) "Surely I say unto you that not one generation more will pass before all I have spoken will come to pass." That one seems like a fail?

[RobertsonDirk]

@crazy4carolyn His work is finished. He cannot come back until all four corners of the earth have heard his message (if thats what you're referring to). I have victory over evil with Jesus. His words have been fufilled

[crazy4carolyn]

@RobertsonDirk BUT..., Jesus said, according to at least 2 of the gospels, "not ONE generation will pass before all I have fortold will come to pass" These were HIS words from The Bible! SO..., either he lied or was simply mistaken. Either way, he doesn't sound much like a diety to me. Best wishes.

[RobertsonDirk]

@crazy4carolyn you aren't referring to what was not fulfilled. his work is done

[crazy4carolyn]

@truthbknwn I'm sure that that is what you believe as YOU interpret the version of the bible that you've chosen. However, I could go to a 1,000 OTHER christians and get 1,000 other interpretations. Just as it has been being done for over 1900 years now. AND..., each of the religions, particularly chritians! Look back as early ago as the 17-19 centuries and you can find huge changes! No more witch trials are there?

[truthbknwn]

@crazy4carolyn Actually, Jesus said "this" generation - refering to the generation that sees the fig tree sprout leaves - will not pass away until the tribulation occurs. Israel is represented throughout scripture as a fig tree (Hos. 9:10, Joel 1:7).

[SATAKARNI9]

THANK YOU Matt, for your clear, concise Gospel truth!!

"For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, [the Sabbath]... Whoever does any work on it must be put to death. - Exodus 35:2

[HeavenDenies909]

Checked out the site... all it does it bash abortion, gays, other religions, and churches that affirm women

I'm ashamed to be apart of the same religion as whoever partakes in the articles written there.

[nivekrekrap1]

not an apple...the text says fruit.

[dark34451]

Your born with sin BTW. Adam being created as a PERFECT human being like Jesus, lost it by eating the apple. God warned him that if he eats the apple he shall die. Genesis 2:17. And when you die you don't go to heaven or hell. God even says what will happen to you when you die. Genesis 3:19.

[dark34451]

O and one more thing it's not just believing in jesus, like this man says, It knowing god and jesus christ (John 17:3) And it's not only by faith, you must do the works aswell(James 1:22-25; James 2:17-26) Btw Trinity doesn't make sense to me. God has his own spirit and jesus has his own spirit.

[dark34451]

I was in the christian religion but then i left cause they still brake gods rules. This guy should have said all the commandments, for example they still have the cross. God doesn't like craved image. Exodus 20:4-5; Acts 17:29 , i had a cross but then i burned it. The only way to worship god is with spirit and truth. John4:24. Christians were even warned not to use them. 1 Corinthians 10:14;1 John 5:21. They still have alot to learn.

[rddaos]

the christian religion is so evil

[fredinjr]

ur nonsense rddaos..

[MikeRul3s]

Very good video, beautiful explanation, so clear and so sincere 5*

[oxo7oxo]

Being a Christian is about believing in God. Therefore, you are wrong to say that you don't become a Christian by believing in God.

You see, believing that God is and believing in God are two different things. Of course the devil believes that God is. For he once dwelled with Him. But he obviously doesn't believe in God; for if he did he would serve him.

Hence believing in God is about serving God; and serving God is about accepting what He says about Himself, and loving Him for it.

[DJsStratoArt]

oxo7oxo, Satan knows God is the truth, Satan knows God tells the truth and is Holy. Satan believes in God in this way, knowing that God is righteous. "Even the demons believe" from James 2:19, James is making mention that the demons know the truth that is in God. They don't think God is lying, they know God is telling the truth, thus they have belief in God's existence, and also believe what God is saying is right. 1 of 2

[rddaos]

the christian superstition is highly evil. thank goodness it's just a superstition.

[DJsStratoArt]

@oxo7oxo 2 of 2 The point James was making is, that one can have proof of God's existence as well as an understanding that God is truth and is holy and righteous, but knowledge of these two things does not mean one is saved from Hell. It's important to not only have proper believing faith in the proper person of Jesus Christ but to have the acting faith (repentance and faith). Satan believes who God is, not just that He exists. He believes in God, yet He defied God,

[DJsStratoArt]

@oxo7oxo There was never a time when Satan never believed in God for He was and still is an angel, albeit a great fallen one. Satan knows exactly, even more than we in our mortal bodies, who God is, and yet even then Satan with other angels, the demons fell. They certainly believed in God - yet they are damned to Hell, not for unbelief, but for their rebellion, their sin towards God.

[DJsStratoArt]

@oxo7oxo Paul explains clearly that all mankind knows that God exists, their conscience which is God given and all creation testify to that (Romans 1:18-20) - unbelief is suppression of the truth within the sin of rebellion. There is no neutral ground in unbelief, and Satan and the demons certainly believed in God, and believed God - yet they are rebellious and therefore damned, and so are we, unless we repent AND put our trust in only the Lord Jesus Christ. Matt Slick is still correct.

[jonayork]

As is the case with counterfeits they lend to the value of the genuine.

All the counterfeits agree. Favor with God must be earned.

The message of the genuine stands alone in that God has provided a way where there was none.

There are only two religions in the world, the true and the false.

DO = false religion

DONE = truth

We have Eternal Life because of God's miracle of regeneration by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

God Bless You Matt

[Gretaleine]

I like the fish tank sounds in the background. Best part of the video.

[giggleman]

The only way to become a Christian is to obey Christ in everything and strive to be holy. Jesus spent 99% of his ministry preaching about this obvious imperative. If you wait until you understand all the issues - you would have understood nothing. The jigsaw will fall into place, just obey Christ.

I love you guys, you answer my emails fast and I thank you.

[grant9120]

and the willingness to give it all up comes by showing them their personal sin and breaking them down to realize how evil they are for offending a holy God. not just that theyve sinned, they have never don e anything but sin as the bible says any action not by faith is sin. its like building their foundation on sand and not the rock. you tell them theres nothing they can do. salvation is of the Lord, then say "now proceed to do this..and pray" this is a shame. i know u mean good. but it is not

[grant9120]

see if they start having a different attitude towards sin because the spirit dwells in them. the rich young ruler wasnt saved because he only wanted to be saved, he didnt really want a Lord. until people realize their PERSonal sin. for him, money. and are exposed to realize how filthy and God hating they r, they will never think they really need saved. theyll just do it to try to attain heaven, like i did. w/out the willingness to give it all up and follow him, like the ruler they wont b saved.

[grant9120]

i did that prayer. didnt work. i ended up a drug addicted drug dealer. why would you attempt to lead people in a prayer when jesus never evangelized like that? why was the rich young ruler not saved? if he came to you asking how to be saved. you would tell him that and lead him in prayer and he wouldnt be saved, but you say they are. we should never give people assurence. we dont know if God saved them. we can only tell them to turn to him trust in the cross, cry out to be saved and then

[vesiu5]

Jesus did lead us in prayer. Its the most famous prayer of the Christian religion: the Lord's Prayer.

Look up Luke 11:1-13.

Lastly, the rich young man was not damned! Jesus JUST told him to obey the commandments to "enter the kingdom of heaven." The young man answers, "I have." THEN Jesus invites him to become perfect. In other words, he invites him to be a co-worker in the plan of salvation (Colossians 1:24), an apostle, a saint.

God bless!

[sunlitekid01]

yes u cant become a christian just like that. U need to be severely brainwashed by ur parents/freinds/priests etc. U need to forget everythin u have studied in school and give up all inellectual thinking capacity u possess. Its quite easy actually after all its the largest region in the wrold...

LMAO|!!
