The Bible says that anything you pray for will come true -
"Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25 NAB)"
So I have a simple request to Christians here. Pray for me to become a Christian, Im sure the power of all of you together can accomplish this simple wish as promised by Jesus. If Im a Christian tomorrow I will come back and edit in that it worked.

Sure...but it is only a name. What is important is to live it. People call themselves Christians and their actions reveal that they are the opposite of what Christianity is all about, but they can justify their actions because they are "Christians".
I leave you with a question:
What is more important...To behave as a christian and not be called one, or to be a Christian and not act like one?

I will pray for you. to be come a Christian devoted to the Lord. However, the way that the Lord told Joshua, Be strong and of a good courage, you must pray for yourself and you must believe it in your heart that your prayer will become a reality. the bible says that god is merciful to a humbled and constricted heart. He knows your heart and understands you soul. If you pray as well and believe and truely want to become a Christian, God will do this. However, remeber what James said " You pray and ask, yet you don't receive, because you ask wrong" This means, that you must ask God for your cause and you must allow him to change you as well, let him take over you life.
God Bless.

You are not rightly dividing the scriptures. In the four Gospels, Jesus was doing sign and wounder to show Israel that He was who He said He was. Their King. Have you tried to move a mountain? Why did it not move? The answer is simple, that is not your pray promise. Your promises today are: Phillip 46 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.Phillip 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
1 Thess 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1 Thess 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
2 Cor 4:15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
2 Cor 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
2 Cor 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
Phillip 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Mark 11:24-25 - ABSOLUTELY!!! You've made the first step toward a beautiful life in Christ. Where ever you are, please find a church that teaches the apostle teaching (e.g. pentecostal, apostolic). Everyone is not teaching about the full power of Christ's resurrection and how He intends for us to live. I have first hand experience with this type of church and if you're serious, you WILL get fed spiritual what you need. God Bless

God will not force himself on you. You have to believe. If you want to be a Christian you can pray a prayer for yourself.
If you want to receive Jesus now, and accept His gift of salvation, it's a matter of believing in Jesus Christ, repenting of your sins, and turning the rest of your life over to Him.

As a christian, I can not pray that you become a christian. I can pray and ask the Lord to draw you by His Spirit and believe that He is doing that. But, God made every one, saints and sinners, with a will to choose what they will do. You are the one who has to make up your mind to follow Christ. I, as a christian, can not pray against your will. It is unscriptual.
So I say to you, If you were to die today, where do you want to spend eternity? Make the decision, give your life to Christ today!
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV)
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him (Jesus) from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

We don't have to pray for you to become a Christian. If you repented of your sins and sincerely meant it, excepted Jesus into your heart then your a Christian! IT'S FAITH my friend. When most people become Christians it usually isn't followed by a "warm fuzzy feeling" or an overwhelming sense of love, but that doesn't mean their not saved. "It is by FAITH through grace that we are saved.

I'm in. And I have no doubt that if He is willing you will be.....you do know that you have free will?
You do understand that you may wind up at the edge of hell crying out to Him from the depths of your soul in agony that is unimaginable? That's what it took for me to believe....to "become" a Christian. It is worth the pain. May God bless you with it if it is what you need to come to Him.

I'll pray for u man, but it is not just us that have to pray, u must ask Jesus in ur heart to do hiis will in ur life. and pray w/ ur whole heart. Tell him u realize that u r a sinner and ask for forgiveness. ask him to come close to u and take ur life and give it all to him. The bible says "Draw near to Hm and He will draw near to you". U have to make the decision to receive him and love him and give urself to him, that is not up to us but u alone.

I pray now in Jesus' name that your eyes will be opened.
As far as being simple, yes it must be simple for us because we could do nothing of ourselves to be saved except accept the fact that God reconciled (past tense) the world to Himself by the blood of Jesus. I' m sure that it wasn't simple for Jesus to die though and be separated from His Father to accomplish our salvation.
