I wasn't raised in your religion since before I could talk, so I don't have that reason. What other reason is there?

If you wasn't raise in any religion then you must find out for yourself the reasons why we serve a living God. I wasn't raised in any religion also but I searched and find out for myself!

You don't that is the beauty of freewill it is a matter of choice...Just understand by your own choice there may be consequence...hey that actually sounds like real life not just eternal life...you are responsible for your own choice...and it is yours...If God be God follow him..but if Baal follow him..seems simple enough
Now if you were raised in..a Christian environment..(not just religion) then you know that the bible is clear the only way to make it into heaven is through Jesus...since He said He is the way thr truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by him...that is probably reason enough....if your desire is to go heaven...Trust the Lord he will not steer you wrong... God bless

Well just because someone has been going to church their whole life does not make them a Christian. When you experience the power of God you will know he is real. Don't harden you heart to Christ. You just have to be open minded (and yes I have looked around at other religions and science open mindedly so I know what else is out there) and not just look for reasons to always prove your denial and just give it a chance. I wouldn't suggest going to a church service or something because those are usually aimed for people who are already Christians. Find someone you know to be very knowledgable and Godly that you can feel comfortable and just talk to with them and hear what their saying with an open heart.
Just don't harden your heart.

You only hear the teachings of the false teachers that arose after the death or departure of the apostles.
Paul cried and warned: Ac 20:29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Ac 20:30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
[ The Apostles new the true ministry would be lost: ]
1co 13:8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done away with.
( and the total falling away from the truth of Jesus Gospel )
2th 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,
[ Paul wanted to rehearse the basic doctrines if God permitted ]
Heb 6:2 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Heb 6:3 This will we do, if God permits.
[ Paul don’t want to rehearse it again, and don’t want to bothered ]
Ga 6:16 As many as will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on God’s Israel.
Ga 6:17 From now on, let no one cause me any trouble, for I bear the marks of Jesus branded on my body.
I cannot fully explain in this writing, but I can prove it from the Bible..KJV 1611
In Jesus' true ministry you did not have to change your religion, nor have or join one...it did not matter of sexual orientation it was all spiritual orientation..you could have a mind of your own..
1. To all those that do good for others and things
2. do and practice truth for good
3. extend righteousness in your contact with others
This is Jesus in you.......The above three laws are a lifetime study and Godly philosophy...this is not a lifetime of religion, book reading, customs, or traditions, this did not matter
The above three are the kingdom/government of God and of all the true prophets of the most high God.. in all the religions of the world

At first communicating to God was a problem. I couldn't feel His love because i couldn't understand anything.
Gradually, as a i grew older, more problems tumbled around me and i seem to call out to God more and more often.
And yes, he answered most of my prayers. He saved me from being biten by a brown dog, it was the most amazing thing of my life and i shared it with the church.
He gives me that very special feeling, the feeling that i could trust in Him no matter what cos' He'll always be by my side.... Here's what a simple poem can explain my feelings.
I walk on the beach, feeling all down and torn
Why doesn't God help me, I thought, staring at the one set of foot prints on the sands, mine. Where was Jesus's?
Then one day as i was walking on the beach to drown my sorrows God came to me and said,
"My child, during your difficult times you could only see one set of footprints on the sands.... I've never left you, i was carrying you."
I love Jesus so much i would die for Him... He died for me, so why can't i do the same?
Loving god FOREVER,
God Bless You! =)

I don't think that anyone is asking you to. That will be your choice. We are free thinkers and if you are mature enough surely you can decide for yourself what to believe. If you want to be right, research every option there is and then decide if you believe... and to what you believe. I may be a christian since birth but it was my choice to continue believing when I got older and knew more. And it still is.

look around at the beauty of this world
how can you witness a birth and say there is no God?
look at how gorgeous the mountains are the oceans
God is out there. The "big bang theory" couldn't have done all of this
who else answers prayers works miracules and gives inspiration?

The bible is the only religious book that can prove itself(Dan ch2). If you follow the bible 100% it will change you life for the better. The emphasis is on the bible not the religion.

Me neither do I was raised in Christianity. God did not predestined all to believe. Since I was predestined to believe, I'm a christian and a believer.
