Christianity is about Faith ,and it requires a certain amount of Faith, to even seek it out. to believe in something you were not raised believing is not easy for the Religious and Cerimonious thinkers, But if studied through the Bible sets you fee from Religions Dogma and replaces it with a Personal experience that compounds Faith. The Anointed was Anointed with the Spirit of God the same as We are Anointed today if we seek it. it is not Religion it is Experience.

I don't think so....well it all depends on the person and if they have leadership qualities and an open mind. If you're a follower then yes it would because you're following everyone around you...but if you tend to think for yourself and are curious and want to explore other things and options....than no it wouldn't matter where you were born and what religion was in place.

The True light has shown on every child born into this world. John 1.
A person must be born again to become a Christian. Jesus said that you cannot see the Kingdom of God unless you are born again of the Spirit. That comes with True heart faith in God.

u do have to have faith..but there is more to religion than faith and believing. you have to go by the bible, i dont care what you was raised in dont go by what mom and dad is just because there your parents. read the bible, there are so many false doctrine out there Jesus warns us . but people think they can leave however they want and make when you cant and thats not just my opinion the bible says that.u have to live according to the word the new covenant was the teachings after Jesus died on the cross and you will find what he says for us to do in the book of Acts. so read the bible for yourself ask God to help you.when i say Jesus and God im speaking of the same person, there is no Trinity thats a lie straight from HELL. God was a spirit, a spirit cannot die, so he gave himself and body of flesh that can die. and he died for mankind, he was the Lamb the sacrifice.i am apostolic. and i believe you have to be baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost.
Jesus is the Father, Jesus is the Son, and Jesus is the Holy Ghost
Father, Son , and Holy Ghost are titles

Christianity is just like any other religion, just with different doctrines. If you are born in the US, you are likely going to be a Christian. If you are born in Iran, you are likely going to be a Muslim. There is an obvious correlation between a parents religion and the child's, and the area in which you live and your religion. Christianity is no exception.

correct... no one can be "born" a christian... No man can decree anyone a christian... following a mna invented doctrin or dogma will not make anyone a christian... Only God can make anyone a Christian.... only those who come to God in The Way He proscribes and receive His free gift of Salvation are The True Christians... and of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head.

I think even the way you live out your christian faith is effected by where you live. For instance we are very rebellious as a nation and find it difficult to get along with others and live under authority. Even though Jesus was the very model of obedience and submission.

Everything you wrote is fine as far as your "CHRISTIAN" Based assumptions...but chances are if you were born in India you would not be a christian, so where you are born and the dominant religion of your country play a major part in what you believe.

Location does matter because where i live all the churces except 2 are catholic, so there arent really many options for anyone who is jewish or protestant to go to a chruch, unless they are willing to drive into different towns and cities. If your born here you are going to school with majorty of catholic kids, so thats what you are subjected to.

I was raised in a Christian home, and I'm a Christian myself. But my choice to follow Christ was out of free will - not my parents' bidding.
I don't agree with your statement completely, but I can see where your logic is going.
