My gas stove burners work, but when I turn on the oven, it does not. I have came to the conclusion that it is not receiving gas but do not know why. Can someone help me troubleshoot this?

first of all does it have a pilot light? if it does it’s probrably needs to be lighted.
If you have one of those stoves with a igniter you may think it is ok but it is probably bad. When it lights up it should be so bright you can hardly look at it. If it is dim it is bad, sometimes a dim one will light off if you bump the stove. The way it works is the igniter draws current through the safety valve and opens it. If it fails to draw at least 3.5 amps it will not open the valve. Of course I have no way to know what type of stove yours is but several different types are touched on at this site: http://sites.google.com/site/sublimeappl…
Can be a faulty gas valve which allows gas through to the oven burner.
Not a cheap repair.
