Ok, so what about baptism?
What about the part where I asked if you had to believe all out 100%. Let's say I think, for the most part, that I believe in god, but there's a part of me that thinks "what if...". Is that not believing in god?
If that thought is always and forever in my head, and being a human and having to deal with a thing like thought, mind, and choice, how could I ever honestly truly 100% believe? Would I be lying ot myself? What if I WANT to believe, but can't because of that thought? What if I tell others, "Yes, I believe" and I attend church, live by the rules, etc.. but deep deep down, there's doubt.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is... will he understand that I am human and that I will think and feel such things, or will he say "You're only pretending to believe. Sorry, eternity in hell for you"?
Surely there's SOME part of you that wonders "what if.."
