To whom am I supposed to pray? My dad was a Mormon, my older sister used to be Pentecostal but is now Lutheran, and one of my friends is Jehovah Witness. They caused a great confusion for me. Also I have been reading the NIV. I do believe in Jesus and that he died for our sins. I am not confused about the trinity, in fact, I believe in it, but who am I suppose to pray if I want to repent and be saved - our heavenly Father or Jesus? or does it make any difference?
I am searching for lessons on the synoptic gospels. I hope to answer the following questions:
1. Why are three so similar and John is not?
2. What specific stories are told in Matthew, Luke and Mark and how are they similar and how are they different?
3. Why are Matthew, Mark and Luke referred to as the synoptic gospels?
Can you provide some resources to answer my questions?

My pastor teaches and preaches that after the tribulation those that heard and did not believe the gospel will still have a chance to be saved. Is this what some refer to as second chance salvation?
I have heard that Matthew 25:32-46 shows that those saved in the tribulation are saved as a result of how they treat the Jewish people at that time, by works. Is the giving of food, water etc...the reason one gets the inheritance or is the passage speaking of what saved people do being heirs?
Doesn't the Bible indicate that God has already chosen those He will save, we just do not know who they are, because we do not have the "foreknowledge" spoken about in the Bible?
I would like to have some insight on the subject once in grace
always in grace. Me and some of my buddies have been discussing it and I am not sure I understand it.
