Even though this is an older thread, in reading through the posts I feel like I need to say something.
I am not a Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, or Athiest. But I have a strong faith in God. I believe there is one God and that he gave his Son so that we may live eternally if we so choose. I do not believe that Jesus IS God. I believe that Jesus is the voice of God, and the sacrifice that God made for all of us.
To the people who have decided to "believe" in God, or to become a Christian "just to be safe", or "just in case", you are just WRONG. If you do not have a true faith, or if your beliefs are not mirrored in your heart and mind, God knows this.
Please, please rethink your choices and why you have made them. If you believe for the wrong reasons, then it is not really believing at all. God knows what is in your heart, and what you think. How could he not? He gave us free will and the ability to make our own decisions. If you say, "I will be a Christian just to be safe", then you are definitely NOT a Christian, and again, God knows this.
Just think about it.
