>On a side note how does Christianity treat people like me in the rapture? would i be saved for i want to believe or would i be damned because i hesitate to much.
Rapture is post-tribulation, not before it. Nobody is randomly going to get beamed up just one of these days, before that the antichrist will rule the earth for some time.
Secondly you either believe or you don't. If you believed and confessed with your mouth you have been saved, and if not you're not saved.
>. I like to tell myself i'm christian and believe in god although i don't go to church and never read the bible
Going to church has nothing to do with being saved or not. Millions of unsaved people go to church all the time and they consider themselves Christians. .
KJV is the best bible, other ones have verses cut out and doctrine perverted

>Rev 3,16
>So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
That has been taken out of context, read the rest of the chapter, he is talking about chastening saved people, not salvation.
>And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
>I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
>So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
>Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
>I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
>As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
>Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Who does the lord punish here on this earth for wrongdoing? Hebrews 12
>And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
>For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
>If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
>But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
If you're not receving punishment here on this earth for your sins, you're probably not even saved in the first place.
