    Be careful of cherry-picking churches Miss Raven. They will try to lure you in with goodie-goodie verses from the bible taken out of context. For example:

    Mathew 7: 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    They almost ALWAYS fail to talk about what comes after.

    Mathew 7: 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
    3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
    4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
    5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

    In terms that most people can understand the above passage means that you should not judge until you have given up sin yourself. We at Landover Baptist follow ALL of the KJV 1611 buble, and not just the parts which makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside. The bible is not a "warm and fuzzy" book, but the literal word of God and must be followed. What the John 3:16'ers fail to realize is that Jesus died for the sins of those who believe in Him and ALL of His words - not to mention following ALL his commandments.
    I will most definitely keep all the information you've given me in mind Reverend. I suppose my main question is "How do I become 'saved'?", I noticed my title currently says "unsaved trash, under investigation".
    Does this mean that I am nothing in the eyes of the lord? I guess what I'm trying to ask is 'How do I become a true christian?"

        You become "saved" when you drop down on your knees, open your mouth to praise, and accept the warm love of the lord unto your bosom. Leviticus 20:13 Praised be the sweet love of the Lord!

        As for the title under your name, ALL new members carry it until the DOF has thoroughly investigated them.

        For more questions of being saved, I'd have to refer you to senior pastors here at Landover. I am but a humble missionary to Godless northern Virginia. You wouldn't believe the persecution a man of God recieves within fifty miles of Washington DC.
        "If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. . . . And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the manservant's do."
        (Leviticus 21:6-7)
