Lapsed Christian thinking of returning to the fold. -
12-05-2007, 08:32 PM
Hi all,
I'm a lapsed Christian and I'm thinking about before returning to the Church. I turned my back a young teenager, but lately, after doing some voluntary work with orphans, I'm thinking about returning to my old church.
But every time I try to walk in, I see a lot faces from the past. It fills me with dread and I bottle it every time. I could go to another church, I suppose, but it's where I grew up, and it I have many happy memories as a child there.
Does anyone have some advice?
Love to you all,
Jeremy.
Hallelujah!
Jesus loves me.

May you burn in the flaming pits of hell you sinner. May every pubic hair on your nuts sack be burnt off by satans own firey tongue. May your mums skin be ripped from her back and used to beat your arse till you cry for death.
Amen to you brother.

What a horrid thing to say!
I thought you where all nice people here, but I can see that I'm very, very wrong!
I only wanted advice. It's not MY fault I've lived in the real world!

Hello, Jeremy. Thank you for your question.
First of all, there is a problem with your terminology. There is no such thing as a "lapsed Christian" -- there are only "wasn't really saved in the first place" Christians. What you experienced was a false conversion. Praise God you recognized it in time.
As far as your old church goes, I don't know enough about it to make a recommendation. What version of the Bible does that church use? Do the people shout "Amen!" during the sermon? Does the pastor present a feel-good message to tickle folks' ears, or does He present the true Gospel and warn folks about the very real danger of Hellfire.
I'm praying that the Holy Ghost will convict you of your sins, so that you can get saved for real.

Pay no attention to him. He is not one of us. Notice the post count of 1. That user is just a troll.

Can you supply to me where in the Bible any of this is stated?

My last post seems to have been lost somewhere!!! I was thanking the Pastor for his advice about the troll. I'm fairly new to the Internet. Computers aren't really my thing. I prefer a good tennon saw, a sharp chisel and a sharp wit.
I was saying that I'm in England, CoE (Church of England) and I'm not sure the Bible translation (I think it's St. James)
The last church I went to the congregation where all shouting during the sermon, and we had to hug (even other men) complete strangers at one point. I found it all.... uneasy...
The Church I grew up in was so different. It was serious, and manners where everything. We would file in, take our place in the pew, bow for prayers, stand for Psalms and Hymns, and be silent during the Sermon. We'd file out and pay respect to the Reverend.
It's all so different now...
It's like the respect has gone. I suppose it's a reflection on our society. I have my own personal demons about my old Church, but it's where I grew and it's what I know.
Even the Reverend was "like you know, with it, and down with the kids"
I just don't understand!
Hallelujah!
Jesus loves me.

Are there no Real Christians in England?
Are they all part of a huge Cult like the Cattlickers?
