After reading several stories from here, I have concluded that all that have left Christinanity, were never truely born again anyway. Eighty to ninety precent of the professions for Christ are false professions.

Many here don't believe in hell, but if I stood in the middle of the road and didn't believe in trucks, I would still get hit by a truck. So what I believe or not believe in does not change the reality of it. If you put a gun to my head and I laugh at you and tell you I don't believe in bullets.

What if there were a slight chance of hell, would you really want to take that chance? If I offered you 10 Million dollars for both of your eyes, would you take it? Why would you put so much value on you eyes which are the windows of the soul, but place no value on the soul itself? For what shall it gain you if you gain the whole world, but loose your own soul?

When I was 18, I had only been in church about 3 time my whole 18 year life. I grew up on a farm and one day while putting up hay I heard about a revival at a small country church. I asked my parents if we could go and they said we could if we finished the work. We finished the work and went that night. After the preacher finished preaching, an alter call was given. As I stood there, the Holy Spirit drawed me. I could see with out a savior, I was doomed to hell and all my good works could not save me. Tears ran down my face and I squeezed the back of the pew till my knuckles turned white. I wanted a new life in Christ but I didn't want to give up my old life. I new I was lost without Christ, he paid for my sins. I went forward and accepted Christ as my personal savior. I am not perfect, I am a sinner saved by grace. I do make mistakes, but Jesus is always there to forgive me and help me through. Jesus is real and he lives in my heart.

The only way you can turn from Jesus is you never knew him in the first place. My heart pains for you. I will be praying for you all.
