You obviously think you are better. Afterall, you "accepted" the great saving gift of God by accepting Jesus, and the others turn it down. Wouldn't that make you better, in your eyes? Admit it!

Ok people. You say I could also choose it, so you're not better than me. Come on! I didn't choose it, and you did. Doesn't that make you better than me? DUH.

I am saved only by the Grace of Almighty God. And it was His decision to save me, not my decision to be saved. The choice, as it is, cannot be made by the person themselves, It has to come through the revelation of the Holy Spirit. So I am certainly I am no better than you or anyone else. Because believe it if you want, or don't. The problem is that until you receive the love of Jesus you can't understand because I can't explain it in terms you can understand. How do you explain "red" to a blind person? Or the sound of an electric guitar to someone that is deaf?

I accepted Jesus into my life, because I was unworthy of his love. He willingly gave it to me. Just because I chose to be Christian makes me no better. There are self righteous hypocrites that give us a bad name. I am still a sinner that is a fact. I still cuss, because I haven't learned to control my mouth and I still have impure thoughts, but I have tried to learn to control them. God loves me and the only thing I can give back to him is my love and in-turn give it to other people. I love you and I don't know you. That is what it is all about. We are told judge lest you be judged in the bible. If I look down on other people what does that make me? I am never better than anyone else, I am just very blessed. Let me tell you I am making 300 dollars a month right now not enough to survive because I am making a name for myself by working an unpaid internship and at a retail store as well, but you know what, I am so happy to have my family and friends and God and so very rich in spirit that I cannot contain it. Just remember to look at all of the facts before you judge us.

Absolutely. without a doubt, Christians are better in the eyes of God Himself. I don't have to admit this. Read the Bible.
I'm a better follower of Christ than a unbeliever. If this make you feel inferior, get over it.

Any Christian who agrees that s/he is better than a non-Christian doesn't seem to be much of a Christian at all.
A Christian knows how much in need s/he is of God's grace and understands that everybody - Christian and non-Christian alike - is in the same boat. None of us are worthy of God's gift of salvation. I do not pray for unbelievers because I feel I am better than them, but because I know how much we all need God's grace and because I want them to experience the same joy that I experience through my relationship with the divine.

Being saved does not make me better than you, or anybody else. It does make me rich. I have a perfect home in Heaven waiting for me. Made of streets of gold. My Father owns it all, and some day, it will be mine to.

Not really because I kind of think that every person has sth to believe in. Even if it is not a God (Allah, Jesus or sth) it can be money, possessions, even Internet or drugs, alchocol. People have all kind of idols today. I don't feel better that non-believers because they are not aware of their emptiness.

I believe that everyone is equal, whether you are Black, White, Asian, Chinese, or whatever. Everyone is loved equally by Jehovah God. I don't think I am the only one who has been "accepted" by God, I believe there are many who have been accepted, and when you truly believe in him and are ready to dedicate your life to Jehovah, then you will be, as you say, "accepted". For more information, please contact me.
