Uhg, this will sound weird.
but anyway...

Ok so my mind and thoughts, I cant control them at all.

I have a really really bad mind, and really bad thoughts.

Thoughts like...
just pointless cursing or bad images.

I don't want to be this way.
What do I do to make it stop, I want a clean mind. D:

What helps me control my thoughts is by thinking of my favourite hymn or favourite Christian song, then singing that over and over again. Or I try thinking of my favourite verses from the scriptures.

I used to have that problem when I was an Atheist... As soon as I converted the first thing I prayed for was a clear mind and I was blessed with it. Pray for a clean pure mind like that of our Messiah. And know! He will bless you with it!

You are not alone in that. I struggle with that as well. I recognized that I couldn't control it myself, or at least how I wanted to. So I gave it to Jesus and prayed for His help. And He did =)

I've been asking, but I haven't received. And I feel like a failure.
I also now doubt that I'm saved because I haven't received that...
Plus I was told that if you doubt then you weren't saved to begin with.

How long did it take? An did you have to stop doing some things like listening to certain bands or watching certain TV shows?

mmm, I don't really remember how long it took. I gave it to Jesus and kept praying about it so I guess it really wasn't up to me anymore. It didn't take long though. I saw the change.
I stopped watching one TV show but I don't remember when I did that or if it was even in response to the matter.
Though, I don't watch any TV at all now.

i rarely watch TV as well, although I am guilty of watching TLC or Lifetime XD
I mainly watch little kid movies.
I think I'm going to quit listening to ICP and other bad bands... I should delete their music videos off of my Youtube tonight...
Am I still saved though? Or was I to begin with?

Have you confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord? And do you believe He was crucified and was resurrected to save you? If yes, then you are saved. Jesus knows we are not perfect. We are not worthy of salvation; that is why it is a gift.

I don't think that I am saved because I don't remember. If you are saved you remember. But I believe everything, I believe that he exists, I believe that the virgin Mary was his mother, and I believe that he died for our sins.

Then if you are not sure, say it again and ask Jesus to help you to remember that you are saved and that you belong to Him.

Well go fast, repent, and pray.

Listen to nothing but our Father of Heavens Words. If someone gives you "Advice" look into scripture to see if it matches up. People have tongues like vipers spewing venom forth instead of giving words of love and healing.
