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 used to be Christian.\n\nI used to be Catholic.\n\nI used to be Baptist (for about 15 minutes before the Pastor of the church assaulted me).\n\nI used to be New Age.\n\nI used to be Lutheran.\n\nWhen I realized that the christian movement was full of liar, hypocrites, deviants and scam artists, I became pagan!\n\nPagans can be all of the negative things that I mentioned in the sentence above, but at least we are not afraid call our bretheren on and make them take responsibility for their wrongdoings.  Christians blame the devil and :::BOOM!:::  They have a clean slate... so they can do it all over again.  Example... Benny Hinn.

I was born into Cahtolicism, my parents switched to Christianity when I was like three and I practically grew up in the church.  Before I turned 18 life was pretty good for me, and then when I left Christianity and turned to numerous other religions (among which were Atheism, Wicca, and a few others which I wont mention), everything in my life turned upside down.  I wasnt happy, I lost my job and had trouble finding a new one and keeping it, I even ended up having to file for bankruptcy at the age of 19!  Around the age of 20 or 21 a recommitted myself to Christ and became a Christian again, that is when my life started to change for the better again.  I was raised Christian, but ultimately I think I had to choose Christianity on my own.\n\nWhat keeps me with Christianity is that life ultimately was almost the worst that it could be when I was without Christ, it could have always been worse, but it was my WORST time ever.  I stay with Christianity because I beleive in the teachings of the Bible, I beleive that Christ died and rose again, for me and every person on earth.  The other reason that I stay with Christianity is that I am "Eternally Forgiven," my sins have been washed away by the blood of Christ and although I am not perfect I am saved by God's grace.

I got saved, and still am, LOL, when I was 8 years old. I was in Junior church at the time, and the teacher asked us to bow our heads to pray. She then said that if anyone didn't know Jesus as his/her Savior, to pray with her and mean it from the heart.\n\nI don't remember what the prayer was exactly, but I prayed it with her, and I do know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the Lord saved me! I believe in Him with all that I am, and that He gave His life on Calvary....after 3 days, He rose again, and is now seated at the right hand of God making intercession for us.\n\nOhhhh yesss....Saved, saved, my sins are all pardoned my guilt is all gone!! Saved, saved, I am saved by the blood of the crucified One...

I am sorry, but those words you just said were descriptions of Jesus.  I am no Jesus.  The Bible says that a Chrstian is a follower and believer of Jesus Christ who STRIVES to be like the almighty.  The Bible makes it clear that you will fail.  No one is perfect.  I am a Christian because I try to have the best relationship with God that I can, I have and will see people delivered and set free from sin, I try to worship God as much as I can, and I strive to be part of my local church.  The one think that makes you and I human, not God, is the fact that we will never always succeed.  God knew this, so he sent us a way to not have to pay for our sins, he sent his son jesus to lift the burden off our backs and to sacrifice himself for every person on earth.  All you need to do is believe and ask for forgiveness.  That is a REAL Christian.

Christians are not to sue Christians. Is what it saying.\n\nWhen Jesus said that. Jesus was on earth in what age? Mosaic age. Jesus said: The age to come. what age to come? The Christians age.\n It didn't become Christian age until Acts.Ch. 2.  Day of Pentecost.

TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN\n\nIt's a process over time, it's not going to happen overnight. But there are steps to take. First pray and ask the Father into your heart (mind) and life. Ask for change of you. Ask for guidance and direction. Ask for forgiveness of your sins. Do all this in Jesus name (authority).\n\nCome to the reality that as long as you dwell in the flesh body you are going to fall short. All are sinners. Repentance is a change of mind not a license to sin. Perfection is maturity or full age in His Word. We are to produce fruit and glorify Christ.\n\nHis Word is an life learning process. Trust this man or no man unless you check it out in His Word. I've been at it earnestly for 16 years. I'm producing fruit but feel I'm still in the process. Don’t clean house (clean up your act) without filling that void with the Word of God.\n\nLuke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. \nLuke 11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. \nLuke 11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. \n\nBy the way, born again means born from above, check it out.

I became a born again Christian the day Jesus saved my soul. He put a new song in my heart, and gave me something to live for. I want to live my life pleasing to Him. He made me a new person. I no longer enjoy sin, or being around it. I want to go out and tell others how to be saved. God gave me peace, joy, and love in my heart. He is the one i live for, and I put my faith and trust in Him. I seek God for the will of my life. He has used be in many ways, and I Love Him, and thank Him, for everything.

The age of concent in most states is 16. So I'd say 16 at the earliest. I was 17.\n\nEdit: I'm not a christian, so I don't need to follow rules of what's a sin and what isn't.

The word "Christian" has adopted a very broad meaning.  Christians in the Bible were actual DISCIPLES of Christ.  Acts 11:26 says, "...And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."  Luke 14:26-27 tells what the requirements for a disciple are.  The term CHRISTIAN means a follower of Christ.  You can be SAVED, but not a disciple.  You can be a CHRISTIAN, but not saved.  Being a follower of Christ does not save you.  Judas Iscariot was a disciple of Christ.  He did not go to heaven. (Acts 1:25) A scriptural CHRISTIAN is one who puts the LORD JESUS CHRIST before all other aspects of their life and does His will and not their own.  Believing in God does not SAVE you but believing ON the Lord Jesus Christ as YOUR Saviour does. (Romans 10:9-14)\nIf you would like more detailed info, e-mail me at ISFTB@yahoo.com

Yes. Jesus became my Savior the day He saved my soul. He changed my life, and gave me something to live for. He put a new song in my heart. I no longer enjoy sin, or want to be any part of it. I want to be a witness for Jesus. I live my life apart from this world, and seek God for the will of my life. I Thank God for all my Blessing, and I Love Him with all my heart!

I am saved, I believe in Jesus Christ as God's only Son who died for my sins and I have asked forgiveness for my sins.\n\nI have also followed God's leadings and they have not been easy, but I still obeyed.
