That depends on your friends (and you).

I remember one of my friends who is into Oneness got quite upset when I converted. He even came around demanded to speak to me in the presence of Jesus and then ended up leaving swearing "f*n Christians" this and that. I wrote him an email and he came around the next day and apologized. Now he has faith in Christ's kingdom, it's amazing. They say "love conquers all", there must be some truth to that..

This is probably a stupid question, but if I become a Christian, will I lose my friends?

I don't think it's axiomatic that you'll lose all your friends, but some of them will probably be put off by your being a Christian.

When the unregenerate see Christ in a Christian, it can be a very convicting thing.

You'll find out who your true friends are :)


This is so true. You will loose the people in your life who do not love you absolutly, or you for you, but do not fret because you will also gain many friends that also share your beliefs and you may even be a light for some of those friends who are against your choice (no greater gift!).
