My braver was saved at a young age same as me, but he chose a different path then I did. We both drifted away from the Lord for a while but I got back on the right track and started acting like a Christian. But my brother claims he is not a Christian. Can someone who is saved suddenly just decide they don't want to be a Christian anymore? What should I do about my brother?I don't want him to spend eternal life in hell.

Let him make his own decisions. You can't change your brother, only he can.

i could enhance on your assertion by asserting...do no longer worry brothers in humanity. something that enlightens ones existence is a efficient asset, even with the shown fact that a lot of human beings elect to forget approximately approximately enlightenment because of the fact they have closed their minds to gaining understanding of. many every physique is certain by their family likes and dislikes, others are guaranteed to the training of one e book, or man or woman. If i elect to purely examine a math e book, i would be very enlightened approximately arithmetic, yet i will have found out no longer something approximately international historic previous. thank you and could Allah advantages you for the solid additionally.

Well, you have to realize that he did get exposed to God at the same time u did. As we get older, we often search or look to other relgions or spirtual outlet or religions. I beleive that everyone has a choice in life to follow any doctrine they feel comfortable with. I was raised Baptist, but as I got older I started looking at other religions. I became Catholic and it was what felt right for me. I personally feel in my heart God is not going to turn his back to your brother. You as a Christian should continue to pray for him and keep him in your heart. Hope that helps. I hope it didn't sound too much like babble.

Stop worrying about a nonexistent afterlife. Let him live his only life the way he means to. The only important thing is that he's happy before the Worm comes to get him (a.k.a. the maggots who eat your rotting flesh). Other religions can be paths to happiness as well. Let the guy live, and be more tolerant. I'm happy there's no one like you in my family... I'd be beheaded for being a Satanist!

Pray for him daily. Sounds like he was raised right, and the scriptures say, raise your children in the way that is right and they will never stray far from it". He is rebelling right now, you continue holding him up before the Lord.

There are other ways to live your life, you don't have to be saved, it is his choice as far as what path to choose in life. What you can do is love him no matter what.

Pray for him, for his understanding and his attitude.
Pray for yourself; ask God to give you wisdom.
Talk to your brother about why he doesn't believe anymore. He may have had a crisis of faith that nobody noticed!
Remember you are not your brother's Holy Spirit.

if he was a Christian then he knows what says that religion that will happen to him if he doesn't believe so you just make sure he understands the consecuences of his acts and let him be

Be worried about your brothers happiness here on earth. It would leave you less time to worry about others and help yourself.
