I was 30 yrs. old, and looking back, I can see how the Lord led me all my years to that point. Any other later in life conversions?

I have not, however it always comes to say 'what goes around comes around'--- The past is something that will always come back to you in one way or another!! People need to be more careful in what they do in the spur of the moment, it may not find you today, tomorrow, or next year, however, it will come back for you in one way or another!! God will never forget anything that you have done, and keeps track of EVERYTHING!!! Good Luck for what found you!!

i have been a Christian for almost 14 years. my walk with God has been rough at some points but i wouldn't change anything. (other than the times when i fought against Him)\ni have grown so much through the years. God has revealed so much to me, from changes i had to make in my life to the wonderful truths in His word. He continues to amaze each and every day. I look forward to the years ahead serving Him and to the wonderful plan He has for me.

I don't know what this is in response to, but thank you for your kindness. I wish I were young - but I'm old quite beyond my years - a lifetime of physical confinement has its way of making you mentally mature and empathetic to others.  God grants me the answers I provide as I choose only to be a witness to his awesomeness - may your recognition ultimately be for his glory.

My husband believed as a child, lost his adoptive father and then decided their must not be a God.  He was eleven.\n\nAt age 31, he went to jail for a crime he says he did not commit.  He sat and looked at his life, the steps that got him where he was.  Whether he committed the crime or not he had done some other pretty heinous things.  He realized most of this started when he stopped believing.  He started to read the bible again and asked God to show him what to do with this mess he called his life.  He repented and accepted Jesus again and while he still struggles, he has been freed from the accusations mostly, and lives a better life now.  It was not a miracle, a lightning bolt, or a burning bush.  It was God wanting him to turn his face back to Him.  He will come to you in many ways, just keep asking and talking and loving Him and your neighbor as yourself.  Blessings.

I was 16.  From a non-believing background.  Borderline alcoholism.  Attracted to christians by their love and simple joy.  \nWhen I realized Christ was alive and present in the room where I was, I couldn't resist Him.  I told someone the following day I had been born all over again, and he showed me that the expression was in John's Gospel.  A month later a Christian asked me when I was saved, and I was stunned:  "saved" - what a wonderful word!  That really described it!  So I became a Christian withoutg having been exposed to the two major buzzwords of evangelical Christianity! lol.  That was over 40 years ago.  I have never regretted it.

I'm no pastor... I'm an 11 yr old popular on the inside not so much on the outside girl. my testimony is small and you probably don't want to hear it but... I had a (close to) suicidal father and a cheating mother. they soon split but the night before that i prayed to Jesus to take my young sole and wash it clean. my parents never new until my mom and her abusive  new bf split up. i told my mom i was saved and she was so happy!! since then my life has been great (my mom dumped her bf and got married to a great guy) God blessed me!

I wish I was a Christian when I was your age! I'm only 22 now, but I was not saved when I was 16. I was very sinful.\nKeep serving the Lord!

I was baptized by immersion at the age of 8 for the remission of my sins. Then I recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost as my companion. I renew these covenants at church every Sunday.

I became a Christian when I was 14.  My grandma was living with us and had Alzheimer's disease.  There was a lot of fighting in my family.  I was watching TBN and Jan Crouch invited me to give my life to Christ.  She said that God wants to take me from where I am and do something amazing with my life.  I just have to trust Him.  So right then and there I bowed my head and asked Christ into my heart.\n\nSince then, God has done amazing things in my life.  Today, I'm a college graduate and will be pursuing a Master's degree in Special Education.  I was on my college newspaper and won a first place award in the entire state for my Opinion writing.  I give all the glory to God for my accomplishments.\n\nGod even rescued me from a cult.  I joined a cult when I was in college, and my spirit began to cry out for God.  Late at night, I went to the Christian church where I'd been baptized originally.  The (huge) church was completely empty as far as I could tell, but I saw a light under one door.  I put my hand on the door handle, opened the door, went in and prayed with the pastor in there.  After that I became active in the church again and seeing me later the pastor told me that the door I'd walked through was acutally locked -- he checked after I left, but I'd opened it like it was open.  I know a miracle happened there and God opened the door for me.\n\nOn an intellectual level, I've come to understand that God is more real than we have ever imagined.  I've read books such as "More than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell, "The Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel and the information on the website of the Institute for Creation Research at http://www.icr.org  As I've gotten older I've come to believe in God on an intellectual level as well as in my heart.

Not just one year but childhood up to the age of 12.  Lived in a small Buckinghamshire village in the 1950's.  Didn't realise it then but we were cocooned in an idyllic carefree environment where we could roam freely with no worries and find out about life naturally.  We had rafts on the brook, learnt to swim in the pond, built trolleys from wood and old pram wheels, built tree houses.  We rode on farm tractors and trailers, made catapults, bows and arrows, pea shooters out of cow parsley.  Found out about relationships life and sex without magazines and Video's.  I was so lucky, it was another world but one I will never forget.

When I was younger it always seemed so much easier to be close to God. After school I use to sneak into my church and lay under the pews in the sanctuary, leaving poems in the hymnals for people to find during the Sunday service. It was my little bit of quiet time with God. I felt that by being there, in his presence, he was listening to my every word. But now, I am disheartened by the whole "Christian" scene. \n\nI am a good person, I volunteer my time twice a week to causes that I believe in. I work with people with disabilities to help them gain independance. I love my family, friends, and all the people around me.  But people find out that I am a lesbian and all of a sudden I am this horrible awful person who is out to ruin their way of life, molest their children, and kill people. I had bible phrases thrown at me left and right, people telling me that I was going to Hell, that I would never be allowed in their life again. All of these things made me spiral into this horrible depression. I felt like throwing myself in front of a moving train.\n\nBut one day I went to church. I crawled under the pew like I use to when I was younger, and I wrote some poetry. And then, the next day I did it again. And after that first day, I reconnected with some old friends that I had forgotten about, and I left the negative people in my life behind. And I kept doing the things in my life that gave me joy. I stayed up late to count the stars, and I got up early to watch the early morning sun rise above the horizon. And then I remembered that God was there waiting to listen, that all I had to do was talk to him.

That's funny, Paul, yeah that Paul in the Bible, thought he would live to see the end times, and if he can be wrong about it, I most certainly think you are. Every generation thinks theirs is the end times. Things were so bad in 1000 AD, the Church was corrupt, the Pope was under seige in Rome, the average life span was like 35 years, there were comets and other astral events or "signs".etc., actually today we have it pretty good. Sorry, to throw water on your pity party!That's not sprinkled water either, but full immersion. Grow up and stop being so narcissistic. Every generation thinks they are the worst,and the end of days is near. You know what, we're just another generation getting our 70+ years, but look on the bright side, 70+ is a lot better than 35 a thousand years ago!
