How does one become a Christian?

That is a good post, perhaps there is another angle that can be used to exemplify becoming a Christian. The church is the bride of Christ. How does one go about finding a mate and falling in love? How do we find a spouse? We spend time with them, hearing their words. We give to them, they give something back, even if it is only a caring ear. We share with them our sadness and disappointments, and as the relationship grows, they may shed a tear with us. We learn of their hurts, pains and sorrows, and as the relationship grows, we shed a tear for their hurts and sorrows. We show our gratefulness for their presence, for their gifts, we give back in gratitude. But maybe even more than giving in gratitude, we thank them constantly, for their presence, for their understanding, for their making a place in their life to love us. As we do this, we discover new directions for our lives new ways to show our love, we are filled more and more, day after day, year after year. That relationship that grows is between a man and a woman. Jesus is the Bridegroom to the Church, there is a reason for the analogy.

The answer to that question is in God's living word the bible. It is our instruction guide so to speak. Yes I think it is easy not to know what to do as a knew believer but, we have Gods word as a guide to help us through. And don't forget the importance of prayer. New believers can always speak to God and ask for guidance and help and understanding.

This is interesting. Being a Christian a long process. You can't say your a Christian within the day. Christians, in a simple definition, are followers of Christ. Being followers of Christ is obeying ALL his teachings. Strictly speaking, either one of the teachings you BLATANTLY disgaree/contradict with or you do not want to observe disqualify us as one. Being Christian is not just saying you are one. It is more on your works that will testify that you are indeed one.

You become a follower of Jesus when He finds you. It's not our work but His.

Becoming a christian is a simple process, but hard to describe. To a nonbeliever, it might not make much sense. But basically, it's a personal thing that can only happen in a person's heart, no one can be coerced or forced into it. It's a matter of faith, believing that Jesus is who he said he was and that he can save you from your sins and bring you into friendship with God. What more can I say?

You were asking for a step by step set of instructions, right? You have to open your Bible and read. All your prayers and questions have been answered there. Sometimes, though, you might feel that you still don't understand what's written there. But believe me, you only need to open your heart and mind, and you will see, all your questions have been answered! CIAO!

A Christian basically means a follower or a disciple of Christ and this implies a process of walking in His ways. It does not start and end in a certain point but a continuous walk with God in his daily living. It starts by heeding God's call to repentance and faith and to live in His presence giving glory to Him in whatever we do. We grow and mature in the company of other believers who share the same faith. The truths in the Bible are our practical guide to daily living. It is not a set of dos and donts but rather principles where we can apply to our lives as followers of Christ. Cheers.

there are only two things to do 1st love the lord with all your heart and love your neighbour as you love yourself just following these two commandments with all your heart will ensure that you are a good christian

To be a Christian is to know the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You repent of your sins (turn away from them) and ask Christ to be your personal Lord and Savior. You ask Him to forgive you of your sins and admit that you need Him. Then you know that all of your sins are forgiven and you have a new life! Does that mean all of your problems will just disappear? No. But you do have new joy and hope that only comes from knowing the Savior. You put your trust and faith in Him and you strive to live the way He taught us to. We cannot live the Christian life alone. We need help. We need God's help and He will help us to be what He wants us to be and lead us to where He wants us to go. Knowing Christ personally is the greatest thing there is! He is the best and He will never leave you or forsake you. His love is very real. I pray all will come to know Him.

one can be a christain when he realise that he is a sinner that he has been doing wrong things ever since and then he will acknowledge that christ came to die for him then he will tell God to forgive him of is sin wash him with is blood and come to take every area of is life.the second step is that he will continue to study the word of God to be born of the word and the spirit of God coming to live in him.without this no real born again

I was born a Catholic. But it wss just something I did because I was brought up that way. In 1973 I met the Christ I found loved me for me. I was not perfect, I had a lot to grow into. Now I live my life filled with love that only Christ gives.

I don't think there are step by step instructions. You probably have to go to a church and discuss it with a priest, then you probably have to do a adult baptism, holy communion etc.

A Christian is a follower of christ.To be a true christian we have to do whatever Jesus did.Jesus said if u wish to be my disciple take up ur cross and follow me.Christianity is exciting.To be a christian is to be in the world but not of the world.Following christianity is following christ.Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. Acts 16:31 Believe in the Lord Jesus, you and your family will be saved. Praise the lord

One can become a christian by baptism. Jesus have said in bible that one will not enter the paradise untill he take is rebirth so you can take a rebirth by baptism. Believe in God,Pray to god,Praise him,Leave the devil you will be original Christian.

And of all of the information given here they prove that they know him not! I rebuke all of these posts for making the path to Christ Jesus more complicated than it really is! In order to be a Christian, all you have to do is follow Christ Jesus. There is only one step and that is to believe that Jesus is the Christ or Light of the world, the great morning star that gives life to the universe. The Sun and Stars that are placed in the sky, the fabric of GOD, the Son of GOD, a child of GOD, a teacher, Jesus is the path, and his path is clear to those that know how easy it is to follow and know GOD. In order to be a Christian all you have to do is desire to be a child of GOD. Jesus made a place for you in heaven and heaven is where GOD is, pure and holy. If you want to talk to GOD meditate on heaven, do what you know is the right thing to do, be honest, and help others. GOD is there with you. Just as I am with you now. You will know. Peace and Blessings, Sincerely, Gary

There's something that one of the elders at my church gave me. It's inside the front cover of my Bible, and I thought I'd share it. Parts of it answer your question, so it is relevant. The Bible This book contains - the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true and its decisions immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, good to support you and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, the Christian's character. Here Paradise is restored, heaven opened and the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand subject, our good its design and the glory of God its end. It should rule the heart, fill the memory and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgement and be remembered forever. It involves the highest reponsibility, rewards the highest (greatest) labour, and condemns all who trifle with its holy contents. Anonymous So there you have it. Your Bible has all the step-by-step instructions you need. You don't need to go to a priest for him to tell you; take a stand and find out for yourself. It is good to get spiritual guidance, however, so that they can support you in your walk with God. Need some verses? How about: Mark 16:16 Acts 2:38 Acts 22:16 I Peter 3:20-21 John 3:5 Acts 8:36-38 Matthew 10:32-33 Ezekiel 18:20 Acts 10:34-35 Luke 6:46 John 6:29 Romans 10:17 Matthew 7:24-27 Hebrews 11:6 James 2:24 John 12:42 Acts 17:30 Luke 13:3 Matthew 10:32-33 Acts 8:36-37 Revelation 2:10 Outlined in these verses is the simple plan of salvation that God gave us through His Bible: 1.) Hear the Word of God. 2.) Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. 3.) Repent of your sins. 4.) Confess that Jesus is the Son of God, the Christ/Messiah. 5.) Be baptized for the remission of your sins. 6.) Continue to live faithfully. Hope this helps!

When one accepts JESUS as their savior they should go to the local catholic church and ask to talk to the priest. Tell the priest that you have just accepted JESUS and that you want to join the Catholic church. You will recieve at least 6 months of instruction.
