How to become a Christian:

Believe in God and his son that came to Earth to save your soul. He died for your sins. Not sure that it requires any religion but it does require belief...faith.

To: Deagle; Salvation

Ageed Deagle,

One should be asking themselves: How does one become saved (by God) and have real salvation, not ‘How does one become a member of this or that church (which is useless)’. As an example (and not just in the Catholic Church, because this can happen in any “Church”) there was a transvestite that was on Jimmy Kimmel tonight and stated that He (she) had been to Mass on Easter, for all the real good it did their soul, they sure didn’t receive ‘Christ’ (One wonders if the priest gave this person their communion though..).

“For by Grace you have been saved through faith” and “18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” It is not ritual or religious rites that save a person, it is belief (faith) in what Christ has done, and none of our “work”.

-JS

Gee, it only took four posts for the non-Catholics to descend and try to tell Catholics what to do!
