none is correct! each of them will try to convince you on how their god is greater than the other gods but it's all lies and mind games.

lol, you're taking that guy serious

he just visits gotquestions (a Christian apologist website) and posts their Rigmaroles here

check https://www.gotquestions.org/correct-religion.html

see how they went around Gish galloping, circularly reasoning, appealing to emotions, appealing to ignorance, committing divine fallacy, god of the gaps, false dichotomy fallacy, equivocation, fallacy of a single cause, historians fallacy, if by whiskey fallacy, kettle logic, special pleading amongst many others I don't even want to mention

I know my own is correct I will therefore encourage you to try this.
First am a Christian, and you can have a confirmation in your heart that Christianity is not only true but have a real assurance in your heart that if you die after being a genuine Christian you will go to heaven. How?

Just go all alone into your room, close your eye and pray from the bottom of your heart confessing all your known sins, including what you may term as small sins like telling lies, etc tell God if He will forgive you for the sake of Jesus who died on the cross for you that you will never commit any of those sins again. As you are confessing one, the spirit of God will be reminding you of others, just own up, if you continue with sincerity you may not know when you will start weeping in confession, but a joy, an instantaneous one will come into your heart affirming that your sins has been forgiven. That is what is called salvation or experiential born again.
When you have this experience, the spirit of God will start ministering unto you beyond all forms of doubt that you not only a child of God, but you are a heaven bound Christian.
Old things will pass away, behold all things become new.
After that experience, you can ask God to lead you to Bible believing church, where you will know more of God's word and serve Him untill you get to heaven. He will lead you. Remember theres no perfect church on earth but we have the church within the church, these are the real Christians going to heaven, they have peace of God in their heart.
Wouldn't you try this? It works, it's real. God bless you are you call on Jesus right away, he will save you, he will forgive you, his power is still the same today.
Try it. God bless. I shall be waiting for your testimony

this is me being honest here

I feel apologists are doing more harm to Christianity than good, although I must admit they're good at arguing for a generic god aka Deism, their argument for deism is very compelling but there's are few sights as Pathetic as seeing them try to move from arguing for deism to Christianity, how they try to move from "something caused the universe to exist" to "that thing loves us, that thing is everywhere, can do anything and does not like the skin on the tip of your dick which he created you with"

they can't possibly do this without committing several fallacies on the way so they just switch the name "god" to simply mean "Yahweh" and pretend they've by so doing proven any other god not called Yahweh false

Thanks for telling us how to become a Christian. You are yet to tell us how we can determine why Christianity is the correct religion.

Perfection cannot be reached through the creeds of religion because they are ALL limited.

Man is a god clothed in rags. He is a master of the universe going about begging a crust of bread. He is a king prostrated before his own servants. A prisoner walled in by his own ignorance. He could be free, he has only to walk out of his self-constructed prison, for none holds him there but himself - Paul Twitchell; In My Soul I Am Free.

Religion is a system created by men for their fantasy God/gods. It's also created to control people and trade.

Believe in evidences/science! cool

Your knowledge of any subject, situation or event can be best with experience. I have told you my experience, and how you can have the same experience. When you have a born again experience, the spirit of the living God will convince you that you have the real religion, but he right relationship with your maker, not only that, the Holy Spirit will make you know that it's the God of heaven talking to your heart. The truth is you can only understand it best by trying it. You word, coined with alphabet can true describe the peace that will come to your heart and convince you that you are now a child of God, you now have a place with God if you should die. The spirit will tell you that you are not just a church goer, you are on a pilgrimage to heavenly Canaan.
I implore, just try my God. Don't wait for a friend, go all alone to meet him in your room, ask him to forgive all the sins you have ever committed, speak from the bottom of your heart, be sincerely sorry. Listen to his voice talking to your heart, he will take control of your thought as you seek him in sincerity. It is real. THEY WAY YOU CAN KNOW THE TRUE RELIGION IS TO TRY PRAYING TO GOD IN JESUS NAME CONFESSING YOUR SINS, ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS UNTIL YOU ARE TRULY FORGIVEN.

It is good to ask seekers to experience your God in order to find out the correct religion but should the sincere seeker also apply that logic to other religions? Should he/she also experience other religions in order for them to arrive at the right conclusion? A better approach to answering the OP is to tell us the world religions and how Christianity could be described as the world's most testable religion. See the videoclip below for instance:

I have told you my personal experience. This experience is based on the Bible and in my Bible I read, " I am the way, the truth and the life no. Man cometh unto the father but by me". JOHN 14:6. If the essence of religion is to see God after death and be saved from eternal punishment, I think it is a wise thing to use a reliable formula not trial and error that can lead to error of eternal consequence. My experience was premised on the formula in the above Bible passage. I hae tried it, it works. If you are therefore sincere in finding a reliable answer to your question, I recommend once again you try my formula. Going g after other religious formula, I can't recommend, because it's not consistent with the formula which I have tried and is working. Also read Matthew 7:13,14. "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are ..."
AM appealing to you to strive to enter in, once you are, you won't have any reason to doubt if it's right or wrong.

There is a time and place for witnessing. This thread is seeking to objectively lead the true seekers in finding the correct religion. If you bothered watching the videoclip I posted you would have got an idea of what the OP is trying to achieve.
