Hello there, and sorry in advance, if I'm not in the good forum. I have a question, that may seem silly, but occur often in my mind. This is especially adressed to people who converted to christianity from an agnostic/atheist background or another religion. When did you start to really consider yourselves christians ? After baptism ? Start of catechism ? After an particular revelation, act of faith, etc ?
I mean I'm heavily attracted to christian faith (especially eastern orthodoxy, by chance I live in a big city with people from all over the world and I attended a few liturgy in a greek orthodox church), but I still don't really know if I can label myself a christian. I used to believe that faith was like a lightning, striking you suddenly at some point. But right now it's rather growing in my mind, step by step, with reading, reflection, some messy attempt of prayers.
It's quite hard to put exact words on what I mean to ask but it's basically when did you start to feel the confidence to say "yeah, I'm a Christian, that's what I am".
Thank you all ! Bless you.
