How did you get saved?

My dad gave me a book out of the blue called fresh encounter with god. It talked about the characteristics of a godly man and it convicted me. I got maybe 5-7 chapters In and called out the the lord. “Jesus save me from my sins, you’ve told me what I should be and I’m not that” and boom life changed. Since then I’ve been growing my relationship with god.

I got saved September 2019

Thats awesome

I’m really only a toddler Christian Right now

I remember when I was 9 years old I finally understood that I wasn't a good person and that I am a sinner. I had gotten saved on Sunday night church when I went to the pastor after coming forward during the youth program. He had made sure I understood that I knew that I was a sinner and that Jesus is God's son and that he died for those sins. I accepted him as my Lord and savior and at that moment the spirit of the Lord entered me and all I felt was pure Joy. I had literally started jumping for joy being full of the spirit.

Goof for you man. I didn’t get saved till I was a month before I was 16.

So I’m getting confirmed as a Catholic in spring. I would like to know why some conservative Christians have problems with Catholics?

@Milkgamer55 im just glad you made the choice brother.

I dont have problems with catholics, but I disagree with their needing to be a pope

I think it might have to do with the faith aspect of Christians

Or the fact that they have confessionals where you go to preists not God himself

So how do y’all get your sins forgiven?

By simply asking god

Nice

When Jesus died on the cross he became the connection to God

What about popes?

They are just sinners like you and me

They shouldn't have the right to change the bible

They’re given the right to change the Bible?

Catholic bibles have been changed in the past to fit their beliefs

That’s interesting

I’ve literally never heard of my religion in a bad light

Do you think that was during the holy Roman age?

The catholic church was formed during the Roman empire, it was to unify the pagans with the Christians to make a world religion

Catholic church means world church

Something about that makes me feel weird idk

Like having a world government

The pope is in favor of one central government

Wow

This is a lot

The people in the catholic church I believe would be Christian if they believe Jesus died for their sins. But they are mislead in the past

Well we do believe he died for our sins

One of the popes in the mideval ages declared that you could only go to heaven if you paid a tax

At least I’m pretty sure

Bruh

There have been a lot of bad popes

Maybe we just interpret that differently

Maybe? Idk

I can pull up more things if you'd like

I have a question about faith since I’m not exactly a religious person
