So yes masturbation is a sin

I have struggled with it as well. As well is that it the temptation keeps coming back. Some people say masturbation is a way of temporarily satisfying your libido but it just enhances it in the long run. I originally thought if I do it without lust it is not a sin ,but it doesn't work like that. God created sex to be in the context of marriage. Not for you to be fapping in the corner over thing purely created for lust. Finally, you should use your body to glorify God as it says in Corinthians. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV)

In which book may I ask ,as we may have different versions.

So do you mean that the 'initiation into union with Christ and His Body' means that you become a Christian when you are baptised instead of once you have given your life to christ.

People should dress modestly because it may attract unwanted attention.For example, if we all went to church naked people will be sexually aroused by others. So, people would be distracted by worshipping God and they could commit adultery or even worse lose virginity. That's why people should be modest kn their dressing. I'm sure most girls will disagree saying I "We can be able to wear what we want without judgement." I'm a guy and when any girl waks past in tight fitting clothing I do look. Every guy looks it's common. I'm not sure how some girls may look at guys.

It is not necessary for you to attend church as this is not the basis of Christianity. The way you be come a Christian is by inviting Jesus into your life. He is always there and listening. One thing you would need to get is a Bible either in hard-copy or software format. You would need this to learn more about who God is and what he has done for us? Secondly, Church is not necessary ,but can be useful for you to talk to Christians which may have answer to your questions and encourage you. Also make sure that whichever Church you go to is a bible- based church.God is a mighty and powerful God and he may help you with your exams if you have faith he will do so. And lastly, do not just pray to God for your occasional needs, keep him in your life and pray for those little things that you think you can do in your own strength.

I currently go to an evangelical church.And I believe that baptism is not a physical cleansing of sin ,but a declaration of faith to the congregation and to God. So in order for you to be clean of God just ask him to forgive you. As Jesus Christ had died for every sin that you have done and will commit. The prayer of repentance can be found in pslam 51: 3 -19.
