• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I want this thread to be dedicated to everyone who was of a former faith or belief and then converted to Christianity and tell why they did in the first place.

Above all, what has everyone gathered that made them convert? Why Christianity? Please feel free to tell me your background beforehand, what you believed then and your perspective, etc., why you may have had rejections against the church, what was your belief enviroment being raised by parents? What did they believe? What was the ultimate turning point, what inspired you?

Thanks.

I can't really answer your question since the only thing I've converted from is nominalism (having grown up in a church at Christmas, Easter and Harvest family). But I thought I'd post so you didn't think your thread was being ignored.

I hate to say this, but, this is really not the place for this type of topic, the edification forums for Christians only, is the place for this type of discussion.

Also, I think you will find, that a great number of Christians converted.

As for why I am a Christian,

Well God called one day, and I answered. I know it sounds lame, but that is what I have for now.

God Bless
