Please read. Youngster needs advice

So my church are in touch with this company called the messagetrust., and try organise these event called the lift event, where they get bands who are Christians who sing songs about loving God, but in different genres of music. This is to attract every type of person to the music to listen and receive the word. But at the end of the concert, they ask you to sit down and listen, they tell you how amazing Jesus is and how he saved you and then they ask you to stand up if you want a relationship with God, but the thing is, people stand up, and your feel pressured to stand up or else be judged by everyone there, I stood up, I'm still not certain o my faith in God, but I stood up, after that, the pastor of my church came over to me and asked me if I stood, I told him I did, and then asked me if I meant it, I nodded and he hugged me sayin it was the right choice. I'm scared at what my parents will think when I tell them I'm still not certain, as they ask me all the time "are you saved yet?" I find this question pressuring and I just usually all away, I feel immense pressure to have a relationship with God, and I feel they shouldn't do the stand up operation as young people tend to follow the crowd, like I did, and I have no idea what to do, can someone give me advice, because I'm not 100% sure of what I believe and when my pastor tells my parents I stood up, they are gonna be happy, and I'm gonna have to rain on their parade by telling them I'm not sure yet, that I'm not ready to decide. So please help me, please.
