Question
Where in the Bible does it talk about being forced to be saved?? I was just wondering because, are you really saved if you don't feel it, you just do it because your parents tell you to?? And where, again, in the Bible can I find this??

Answer
Greetings,in the name of Jesus, the Christ,

The reason you don't see it, is because it is NOT there, nor is the other one.

Who told you all these lies?

You are saved or not, depending on whether or not, YOU "believe/have faith" in and accept Jesus as your Lord, and savior. Now if you look up the word Lord in a dictionary..what does it say?  You take it from there, and answer your own question.

according to dictionary.com, it says the following:
