how long have you been a Christian?

[nicolek]

Hi everyone! I am just wondering how long you have all been a Christian...did you always believe (since you were a child?), did you start to believe during your teen years? Adult life? Just curious!

Oh I also wonder when and if you were all baptised..i guess that will have to be another poll!


thanks for sharing!

lol. . . i found the other one first anyhow. . .

I met Jesus as my personal Lord and Saviour in October 1995

He was knocking on my heart and burning under my chair to get my b*** up and run into his loving, open arms

how long i've been a christian

i've been a christian 8-9 months

 

[imready4thelord]

i guess i always knew there was a God ,
but just because i know God is real doesn't mean i am a christian.
it has been 8 years know since the lord came seeking me,i wasn't looking for him.
but i thank God i was willing to listen and give in to him.
he knew what the following years would bring, and with out him in my life i probably wouldn't be here today

 

[led by the spirit]

:thumbs_up I have always known about the Lord from an early age. I grew up with a Godly Grandma. And you couldn't help but know the Lord, for she was always talking about him and to him. I thought she was a crazy old lady, but I learned to know him thru her. and now I'm the crazy lady.:girl: I get told what a fanatic I am all the time, and you know what i say? I say yes your right, I am crazy for my Lord. :thumbs_up But anyway I wasn't save til 1979, it's been a long time, and I'm still praising my wonderful Lord Jesus. :thumbs_up I was baptized in the same year.

:thumbs_up It's been a wonderful journey and I know I will finish it with my hand in the Lord's all the way.:shade:

I have been a Christian for a bit over 18months after going through school an atheist God revealed himself to me and showed me his truths

 

[Mmj]

I have been saved since july, this summer

 

[Beardy]

i cant say since a teenager because that would mislead to past tense and non of the others apply.

I have always known their was a god and believed but it wasnt until recently when i decided that i would believe because it was in my heart and not only my head. so my answer would from the beginning of every sun rise until it all passes away.

 

[kalamela2004]

I have been a christian since I was 7 y/o. Jesus is Awesome!!

 

[HomeWith3]

My husband was a Christian, and I was a non believer. When I flew to the U.S. I felt the Lord for the first time and was baptized in July 2003 what a wonderful feeling to know I will never be alone again.

 

[patti4jesus]

I was raised in a home that believed in God, but did not believe in a personal relationship with Jesus. So, I don't really think I could call myself a christian until I accepted Jesus into my heart. I guess I see that whole calling yourself a christian kind of a gray area. To me, I became a born-again believer 5 years ago. I was baptized two months after being saved.

I accepted Christ as my Saviour while I was in UNI so at 21. It is a daily struggle but I would not trade it for anything in this world.
