I noticed on my hit meter that someone found there way here by searching on Google with the keywords "Becoming A Christian". When I saw this, I was heartbroken that I didn't have a post about it, spelling it out in plain English. So, this is for you, whoever you are in Virginia that visited the other day:
The good news I have for you today is, becoming a Christian is not that hard! It does however, require alot of faith. Jesus has already done the hard part by standing in for you and dying a horrible death to pay the ransom for your sins. No matter what horrible things you may have done in the past, you can be forgiven if you ask and mean it. With that said, the first step to become a Christian is to pray this simple, childlike prayer:
"Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you died and rose again to pay for my sins. I confess my sins and you as my Saviour. Come into my heart and become the master of my life. Guide me in your ways so that I might be your devoted follower. In your name I pray, Amen".
If you just prayed that prayer and meant it in your heart, welcome home, you are saved and are a new creation in Christ! You've been given a new heart and are forgiven of all your sins! Now, your next step is to tell someone the good news and find a group of believers to worship with. It is extremely important to get plugged in with others that will help you in your daily walk. If you don't have a bible, get one! I recommend you start reading in the Gospel of John. And last but not least pray, pray, pray. Prayer is simply talking to God. You don't need a degree in Divinity to pray and you don't have to worry that your words may not sound the way you think they should. Just do it! You are God's child and he wants you to talk to him. But when you pray, pause every now and then to let him speak to you. By doing this, you are developing your personal relationship with Him. As you walk with God, (now this is really neat), He will equip you (To see a good example of how God equips, read the story of Moses).
I hope this post has helped you and I am praying for you. It is worth it!

That would be awesome for someone to become reborn by reading a blog.
To that person:
If you are in need of a church home, and don't have one in mind already, my husband knows good pastors around the world and not just from our denomination. Obviously he doesn't know them all, but he may be able to help you get "plugged in" as Donnie has said. It is vitally important that you do so.
God bless you!
Ouch! I don't have a post like this either (heavy sigh).
