A request to my christian friends

I have tried my best to consider Jesus Christ as my Lord and saviour, but I cannot do so. I prefer to remain an agnostic. But I have read the following verses in Bible: "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22 ) And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it. (John 14:13-14 ) Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25 So, if you do not mind, can I ask a favour? Why do not you pray to the Lord to allow me to eanter heaven? If it is true that he grants all prayers, then he will definitely grant this prayer also. I have heard that christians are very kind people. They want everybody to go to heaven. They do not wnt anybody to rot in hell. That is why they spread the gospel across the world. But I am not interested in the gospel. What I am interested in is heaven. So, please be kind enough to pray for me.Thank You. Let us meet in heaven.

Great piece of sarcasm! Lol Interesting to see people emphasizing on the 'need' to believe in an imaginary God/Son rather than concentrating on deeds alone. Let me join the bandwagon. Someone pray for me too. Ahh, a great feeling ROFL What next, a similar request to Muslims too? Shall I begin? Wait, leme think!

In order to get to heaven you must first accept jesus christ as the son of god and your personal saviour which is repenting and follow the gospel.The bible is our weapon to fight the devil so we need it.And you have to pray asking him what you want because people cant pray fo you to go to heaven.Confess your sins repent and be baptize.

Hebrews 11- 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him Sadly, it just doesn't work the way you would like for it too. It would be nice if it did. Then we could be assured our children made it in on our prayers. But each of us will give an accounting for ourselves.

I cannot "pray" you into heaven, but I can surely pray that you find and travel the road that makes heaven possible :) Agnostic just means you are not sure. So I will also pray that you become sure and strong in your faith as time goes along. God is much more understanding of the the things with which we struggle than humans could ever be. Best of wishes...and prayers for you, Karen

I for one know how hard it is to accept this life as a Christian. I battled with myself for years. I tried doing everything that I could to make things right. I cannot pray you into heaven, and I cannot find your salvation for you. But I can pray that you will find it. Believing becomes as easy as breathing. Every breath you take comes from the Lord Himself :). All He wants is for you to love Him. Thats what salvation is all about is loving Him. Accepting what He did for you on the cross. He took all your sin and shame. It goes much further than Him being your savior. He's a friend. He's not asking you to do anything except believe in Him. Trust me, its hard. Even when Jesus walked among his disciples, still there were doubts. That's where faith comes in. We are saved by His grace - lovingkindness. He's a very loving and caring God. No matter how long it takes you. When you do decide to wholly give it all to Him, He will be waiting right there for you. I'll pray for you right now. That God will strengthen your faith, and you will be set on the right path to finding and knowing that love that's greater than any love we could ever experience. And you're right, we don't want anyone to go to hell, but its up to them, not us, which road they choose. All we can do is pray its the right one. Honestly, I don't believe God wants anyone to go either. Especially those who do have a slight hunger in knowing Him. That's why He keeps pulling and wooing. Those times you think about Jesus, that's His way of saying, I'm here, come to me. He wants to show you things that no one else can show you. :) He longs for you to say that you love Him.

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave us His only begootten SOn, whosoever believeth in HIm shall not perish but will have ever lasting life." ALl you have to do my friends is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal personal saviour. Jesus loves us so much. He loves me first. I love Him too.

I will pray that you go to Heaven by being guided to the right path i.e Islam there is no other way to go to heaven as everyone is responsible for himself. If you want to go to heaven then go to heaven, if you want to go to hell then go to hell it's simple as that.

Meeting in heaven not about us praying and supporting you. You have to confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. You have to believe, have faith and do the works according to the bible. The words of God should be imprinted on your heart. Jesus says that his sheep shall know his voice. Christianity is not an easy road but with constant prayer with God through Jesus Christ one can be able to make it. Quoting the bible and not doing what you are told to do will not make you walk through the pearly gates of Heaven. So my dear practice your faith, seek God's face ask for forgiveness and let the love of God comes inside your heart.

being a christian is not a day's job i think, one cannot just wake up sometimes and change, it should a gradual process whereby we remove our bad behaviors and characters one by one, it take s a strong heart to forsake all our bad ways and i do believe that we can get over them when we are truly ready

Hi Frederick, From what I know, we are each responsible for our own salvation, not the salvation of another. We can pray that you will want to have a relationship with Jesus, but that comes with reading the Bible, because God speaks to us through His Word. Can I ask why you turned agnostic? It will help me to understand better.

Fred. I wonder how you come across these Scripture u quoted, You dont pray and get to heaven if it were so there is no need for obeying any laws in the bible. Yes you can praye for miracles, ask for something every thing imagineable can be ask but going to heaven have a qualifications to meet. If you most go to heaven you must buy a ticket which is free of charge, the ticket is your thru a confessin in prayers. You have to invite some one who will take charge of your life who is Jesus christ. Jesus Said an d He is still saying "I am the way the truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father Excpt Througfh Me. If you dont identify with Jesus Christ forget Heaven. Fred What are your fears? are you afraid of becoming a christian ? i will pray for your salvation that is the prayer you need to get yourself to heaven
