I recognize that there are problems that caused me to not go back to my home church or to associate with any other church or denomination.
I reaffirm that I want to be a born-again Christian. To assure that, I will ask Jesus to forgive me of my sins, come into my heart, and help me to live the Christian life as he would want me to live.
In my heart and mind, I offer forgiveness to those that I believe have offended me whether it be in my perception or in fact.
I know there is nothing I can do about those that have offended me and that I cannot change history. Therefore, I will not dwell on the past.
I promise not to hold a grudge against anyone in my past, particularly those associated with religion whether they be leaders of the church, of the denomination, or members of the congregation. Should I hold a grudge it will do more harm to me than anything I would suppose to the other people.
I understand that Jesus died for my sins and not for a group of people gathered together in a building such as a church, arena, gymnasium, or rented space.
I promise that if I discover a church that is God led; I will reconsider being on the outside of Christian worship. I know that it is my responsibility according to Hebrews 10:25, to assemble with other believers in worship.
I fully intend to be a witness for Jesus and to do my best to win other souls to him for their eternal salvation.
As a result of being disenfranchised, I surrender my former service to Christ and allow him to redirect me into a new path where I may be of service to him in the future.
I will do everything possible to stay close to God through prayer and Bible study, and by allowing the Holy Spirit to touch my heart.
I promise I will not be a gossip, bearer of tales, use malicious language, be hateful in my attitude, or anything else which would distract from my service to Christ.
