I always considered myself a Christian because I always believed in Christ and tried to treat people nice but there is more to being a Christian than being nice or helping others.
You have to ask Christ for salvation then be careful that you don't start following something other than Christ.
DEUTERONOMY 11:16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
A person in life can be fooled into following anything if they let themselves. When I was twenty God put me in the right place to get the message of salvation and I asked Jesus Christ to save me. Christ will allways come to you at least once and more than likely several times don't push Him away.
2CHRONICLES 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Since i have been saved I have tried to be a good witness for Christ. As a Christian I have been led to tell of Christ and love everyone.
If you�re not saved today Christ loves you and wants to give salvation to you. Here is a sample prayer, ask God for salvation in Jesus Christ�s Name. Have faith in what your praying and you will be saved.
�Dear Heavenly father I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve, so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven."
"Jesus Christ, with your help I place my trust in you for salvation, and I ask that you will forgive me of my sins. I thank you for your wonderful grace and forgiveness.�
Come and tell a Christian church you have asked for salvation and they will help you grow in Christ. Come to Sunday school you will find it to be a great reward.

The birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18

'NOT ONE' person has 'Always Been' a believer in Yeshua.

Not just ask,but believe.
This is called 'FAITHING INTO YESHUA'
True,yet the Holy Spirit will keep a person in line.

Have not American believers along with most in this life, been 'FOOLED' into believing in a 'PAGAN DAY' called 'CHRISTMAS'.Hmmmmmmmmm
Where then is the Holy Spirit to discern that this is a day which believers should be avoiding like the plague..

Literal Translation:
2Chronicles 7:14 and My people, on whom My name is called, shall be humbled, and shall pray, and shall seek My face, and shall turn back from their evil ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
The Scripture here says that YHWH will 'HUMBLE' His people,to call upon His name,to seek His face,and to turn them back from their wicked ways..
When this has been accomplished YHWH then moves upon his people.Hmmmmm Interesting!

Mat 28:19 having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them--to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days--till the full end of the age.'
Act 1:8 but you will receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you, and you will be witnesses of Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

Hab_2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Rom_1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Gal_3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Heb_10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

As a person grows into Yeshua they should be studying and proclaiming the truth of Yeshua themselves,in the power of the Holy Spirit.
1John 2:20 And you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
1John 2:21 I did not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because every lie is not of the truth.
Yes George sorry for all to have to witness your anger and unbelief, you write as one full of pride and glorifying Satan, you and him seem to enjoy fellowship.
This message is for ALL WHO JUDGE AND CONDEMN OTHERS FOR CELEBRATING a day that has been set aside to honor the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! And I praise and thank God for His unspeakable gift He gave to us through His Son Jesus the Christ.
Legalism and hypocricy judging and condemning are all sins. People judge and condemn the celebration of Christmas yet, they except gifts from those who give them to them, and you except over time pay on your job for working on Christmas, and you celebrate your own brthdays, and will even get mad if no one remmbers to gives you a birthday gift or a borthday wish.
If you don't believe in Christmas, then don't celebrate it and refuse to have that day off ,and tell your boss you also refuse to accept any time and a hal or over time pay for working on Christmas. Better still, you work without any extra over time pay, and allow those on your job who do believe in the celebrating of Christmas have that day off... DON'T TRY AND HINDER OTHERS FROM CELEBRATING WHAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN!...
Romans 14
The Weak and the Strong In FAITH
1. Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters. One person�s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else�s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
One person CONSIDERS ONE DAY MORE SACRED THAN ANOTHER; ANTOHER CONSIDERS EVERY DAY IS THE SAME Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind. WHOEVER REGARDS ONE DAY AS SPECIAL DOES SO TO THE LORD. Whoever eats meat does so to the Lord, for they give thanks to God; and whoever abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God.
7 For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. 9 For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
10 You, then, WHY DO YOU JUDGE YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER? OR WHY DO YOU TREAT THEM WITH CONTEMPT? O For we will all stand before God�s judgment seat.
11. It is written: ��As surely as I live,� says the Lord,
�every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.��
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.
14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean ( in other words, if you regard celebrating Christmas wrong), then for that person it is unclean.
15 If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval.
19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall.
22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.
BLESSED IS THE PERSON WHO DOES NOT CONDEMN HIM/HERSELF BY WHAT HE/SHE APPROVES. 23 But WHOEVER HAS DOUBT IS CONDEMNED IF THEY EAT (OR CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS), BECAUSE THEIR EATING (OR CELEBRATING A SPEACIAL DAY) IS NOT FROM FAITH; AND EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT DONE FROM FAITH IS SIN!
