Am I a backslidden Christian or an unbeliever?

I just want you to know that if you have turned away from the Lord, turn back to him. Don't let the devil in your body win. If you believe you will never be forgiven because you have committed many sins, you are mistaken. God is good and willing to forgive us as long as we confess all of our sins.

Sin distances us from God. Somehow I knew God was always there in terrible choices but sin is fun for a season I felt alot like David lost, depression, anxiety, I couldn't, eat, sleep, I was like the prodigal son in slop. Then God said I'm here come home. 🙏🏽 I never want to leave his side ever again. Godly sorrow is real.

I HATE MY. SIN !! I BEG THE LORD JESUS FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH HIM! I'M SUCH FILTH 😭

I don't think unbelievers sit around and ponder these questions

In my personal experience is that godly sorrow is fully illuminated by the Holy Spirit that leads to true repentance and this is what happened with me. The night I was born again God showed up in a huge huge way, I call it my Moses experience because God told me to remove my shoes because I was on Holy ground🙏 it was a very turbulent time in my life filled with horrible sin, bound by drugs and alcohol. This night I was out with two people drinking and drugging and empty because of a recent failed relationship. The end of the night I was dropped off at a neighborhood baseball field with liquor, beer and Marlboro cigarettes and as I reach the bench to sit down and try and drown my hopeless pain something broke inside me it was a deep pain from destroying my life with addiction and failing relationships, totally broken these words “God I can’t do it” sprung up from my heart! truly I felt those words actually come from my heart and in anguish at the same time I was dumping out the alcohol and smashing the cigarettes and at that very second God was in my midst and right then I physically felt this huge weight come up off from me and I became sober minded and God truly started convicting me of sin in my life and the sorrow I felt for my sin broke my heart and I cried out to a most Holy and righteous God for forgiveness and saying yes to Christ Jesus He began washing me cleansing me and loving on me and that night I was truly born again set free from the kingdom of darkness and entered into the kingdom of God through Christ Jesus! Such love such grace and mercy I was truly regenerated!

I'm sure glad I know I'm saved. I feel sorry for those that don't. Having a perfect assurance of my salvation is a comfort beyond my capacity to describe. Thank you Jesus for your gift, thank You thank You thank You!

Amen. Whether I am an unbeliever or a backsliding Christian is the wrong Christian. Or rather whether I am an unbeliever or a backsliding Christian I need to turn to Christ and cry out for Him to transform my wicked heart and wash me clean. Whether I am an unbeliever or a backsliding Christian it is not too late and there is no shame in turning to Christ. Our heavenly Father is drawing His people to Himself and is eager to receive us.

I am a backsliding Christian depressed in sin :( I need help

That was one of the best explanations on this topic that I have ever heard. Thank you!

Question: Since I was about 6 years old I felt the tug, the pull, the attraction to God and even the structures of churches. Yet, my upbringing environment focused on witchcraft. How is this possible? This love and passion for Christ without instruction, examples, or any human influence? I felt like it was a call to return home. By age 12 I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, but it has been an unusual painful and disastrous path for me- yet here I am, at 65, still fighting my way through life.

If you're a backsliden Christian you're still and eternally saved. A person who is backsliden means that a person has become inactive, not unsaved, or lost of salvation. No one or nothing can break God's seal. You're sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of your redemption. Sin or sinning has nothing to do with whether a person is saved or not. Spiritual growth isn't intent but a process. Salvation is intent in accordance to 1Cor.15:1-4; Eph.2:8,9; Eph.1:13; John 3:16. It's the who so ever will call on the nane of the Lord, shell be saved. Don't be received by these false believers, these social tares, false teachers. Eternal life is Eternal security.

So this is that gift of repentance I've heard of. Thank you.

Faith comes from hearing the message: read your bible especially new converts and dont be led astray by false churches and doctrines of mere men as i was . Brilliant video ,blessings from Ireland and Glory to God.

Oh wretched man that I am. Sin is part of our DNA.

Convicted

How do i know if i'm saved? i've been struggling a lot. one time i think i'm saved and i'm confident, but the other time i think i am a stupid hypocrite who doesn't love God, and God doesn't love also. i just wanna be saved, i want my family to be saved also. Once i was addicted to sexual sin. then one day i prayed with a pastor on tiktok live, i felt the holy spirit and i was set free from that sin. but then i fell away and i started commiting lust and cussing. i heard from another video that people that God chooses out of this world will never fall away completely. now i care about my sin and i wanna be set free from it. i want to be saved, if i'm not, and be the person God wants me to be. i realize and i admit that i have fallen away. i just wanna be chosen by God, not only me, but my family and my friends. i wanna repent. PLEASE HELP ME GO BACK TO JESUS COMPLETELY

Blessed are the people whom are at the center of God working in their midst instead of attempting to do works for Jesus by them.

God wil lead His people to the sea of dead, the sea of unbelive, the sea of depression, the sea of lonliness... i ve been there and God was there all the time. Jesus i love u! I backslide daily, in works thoughts feelings. But every night i repent, and weep for the Almighty to bring it home, His OWN Work in my life!

I don't understand why people go round and round with answering this question when in reality is an easy answer. If you believe Jesus is who the scripture says He is, the Son of God, was born from virgin, was crucified and shed His blood for me to pay to God the Father my iniquity which I was unable to pay. And then resurrected at the third day and is sitting at the right hand of God the Father. Why people make it so hard. If godly sorrow, or whatever sorrow. The only repentance for salvation is changing your mind that you can save yourself or help Jesus with your salvation and instead know that Jesus paid it all. All you have to do is believe in your heart and if you do that those feelings of sorrow come with the territory. You don't have to feel sorry to be saved you just believe and everything else falls into place.

Each person has to work out their own salvation. There's no clear definitive answer. But we should have a distaste and genuine sorrow for the sins we used to commit. It doesn't mean we won't have tendencies because were flesh driven, but we should think twice or have instant regret after committing sin.
