How do I be a christian?

[josefff]

A few days ago I was thinking about becoming a christian but today I decided to be a committed christian, but I don't know what can I do can

What I am asking is:
İs there any practices I should do?
Will my sins be forgiven after converting?
There isn't any churches in my country, so how do I get baptized?
İs it okay if I accept Jesus first and than get baptized when I move to a place where there is a church in my reach?
What should I do to become a christian exactly?
What are the things I shouldn't do or remain free-of

Where do you live that there aren't any churches in your country? I saw that you're in the Middle East, but where specifically?

The first thing I'd say is that your desire for baptism speaks for something. If you cannot receive baptism due to circumstances outside your control, then it is what it is. You say you plan to move to a country soon where you can get baptized. So just do that as soon as possible and get baptized as soon as possible.

As far as practical things you can do, you can always watch Mass online. I'd also recommend praying the Rosary.

As for education in the faith, I happen to be a certified catechist. Basically, I can teach the faith to people who want to know it. I'd be more than happy to help.

First thing is to accept Jesus Christ as the Lord and savior of your life for the Bible says who ever believes in their heart and confesses with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord shall be saved

Jesus already paid the price for your sin so by accepting the free gift of salvation you become a new person and you recieve the Spirit of God ie the Holy spirit so your sins will be forgiven

Secondly get a Bible and you can start by reading the book of John to better understand Jesus' life on earth and the letters such as Romans or James to get insight on the Christian walk

If you don't have a church you can surround yourself with Christians online for example discord servers

All the best in your walk with Jesus

No churches in your country? Your page says USA, no? Unlikely. Can you go online and some pastor might virtually baptise you? You can listen to sermons of internet pastors. Pray anywhere, might be necessary to be clean. When I saw the word baptise in my translation of the Qur’ān, my imām said it means colour. Baptism can mean just dipping; you can do it and say some prayers. Nu?

[strateguy632]

better than hearing sermons is reading themself as @Lionman95 wrote

[HippieVeganJewslim]

@strateguy632 reading NT? NT has no Xtianity! Nu, maybe the writings of Paul are similar to the rules of Xtianity, but Yeshua said, according to His gospels, other things than Paul did.

[strateguy632]

practices no. it is mainly faith. first see if you agree with the faith or not. see book first Corinthians chapter 15, 1 until ten. first see if you agree and accept that. if yes, you will like my mytakes here.

[Lionman95]

But you´re in the US right?
I would say first read the Bible especially the New Testament

[josefff]

I am not in the US I am in middle east

[pethouse]

Is it safe to be a Christian their?

[pethouse]

There*

[josefff]

@pethouse Even though it isn't safe I will try to live my religion and take risk of getting lynched or more, Christianity makes so much sense to me so why not living it

[pethouse]

I’ll pray for you, what’s your name?

[josefff]

@pethouse Yusuf (Joseph in your language)

[Lionman95]

@josefff https://www.bible.com Go online there because they might have a Bible translation in your language.

[Lionman95]

You can either read it as a web version or as an app

[BoopBoopBeep]

Sure. What country are you in? Some Christians don't get baptized until they are adults. You'll be okay :)

[slatyb]

You don't have to do anything to be able to say "I'm a Christian."

[BarryLiverstone]

Many churches are now online. Connect with the pastor at one of them for direction

[BoopBoopBeep]

Didn't think of that. Good call!

[BarryLiverstone]

Thanks bro. My cousin is a baptist minister and has a yt channel. So they go live every Sunday

[BoopBoopBeep]

Oh cool beans! Maybe OP will hook up with him.

[BigDog1989]

A good one, as in, an ACTUAL christian, or one who claims to be one, and then does the exact opposite

[Dkc123]
