How do you tell someone about your faith?

Question

How do you tell someone about your faith without making anyone feel uncomfortable? We are asked to invite people who still do not know Jesus to our church. I have lots of muslim friends I would like to invite, but I get to loose nerve whenever I have the chance. NO, I don't want them to convert (though it would be nice for them to know Jesus). Please help.

Answer 1

The best way is to live it. Let people see that there is somthing different about you... when they ask, tell them.

Answer 2

well my friend one thing you should know that in Koran it says that Jesus( Peace be upon him) is NOT god. Every Muslim all over the world only believes what Koran says about Jesus is a messenger like many other such Adam ( peace be upon him) is first prophet and Muhammad ( Peace be upon him )is the last prophet. According to our belief It will be a waste of time both for u and your Muslim friends. And the beauty of Islam is that it free to worship (Allah) any race, young or old rich and the poor can worship God 101% FREE of charge 4 life time. please don't take this personal because we always respect others religions. How ever try to invite other religions.

Answer 3

the truth is you do want them to convert. for why else would you want them to come to church and know Jesus??. Thats is obviously the agenda you have. You make that very clear.
Why dont you just come out and ask them? If they are friends and muslim, they have probably been expecting it for a while now anyway. Some probably would like to go, some not. why dont you suggest going to their mosque on friday and they come to church on Sunday or saturday, which ever it is for you.
Be peacefull and cool, I wouldnt have a problem coming to church with you if you asked, and im an atheist.

Answer 4

I not know really. I just love Jesus and be a good person. When people ask me why I the great person I am, LOL! I tell them about my relationship with the Lord. Most people have heard about Jesus, they just not want to accept Him. Jesus did not say to push it, He said to tell "The Good News" if a person want to hear then Bless them, if they not want to hear, move on. So, from how I see this; I just be myself and do mention Jesus if the conversation lead to that. If, they want to know more, I take them to a good Church close to where they live, I know many.

Answer 5

your muslem friends already know of jesus, and respect his teachings.

as for how do you tell someone about your faith,

1, you make it evident that you are a spiritual person.
2, you live and act in accordance with the concepts of your
religious beliefs.
3, when they ask you about something you use it as an chance to
relate it to your religious beliefs. but do not always do this or you will come off too string.

make it known that you are religious and able to teach about your religion. after that people will start to ask you for advice.

this way you will be teaching people that want to learn and not wasteing your time on someone that already has other beliefs or does not want to learn.

Answer 6

I like to start out by sharing an amusing antedote, come to think of it my religion is an amusing antedote. I don't want to convert anyone either, still it would be nice if they ate baked goods. I figure ever one likes baked goods in one way or another, so they're already part of my religion; they just don't all know yet. I'm a Piegan, we worship delicious baked goods, just like our ancestors did, yours too; or you wouldn't be here today. Same as everyone on the planet. It's the oldest religion too! There now. You could tell folk about your religion just as I've told you about mine. Drop by a bakery real soon, get some pie; we're encouraged to share recipes with people who don't know pie. All good things to your doorstep, take care.

Answer 7

as a Muslim let me correct you.no Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus[pbuh].we believe He is the word from God.we believe He was one of the mightiest messengers of God.we believe He healed the sick,blind, leper,all of that and more even some that Christians dont or wont accept.where we part ways with our Christian brothers is you say he is Gods son.we Muslims take exception to that because it does not befit the majesty of our Lord that He should take unto himself a son.and high is He above all that you abscribe unto Him.TO ANSWER YOUR QUES, YOUR ACTIONS WOULD IMPRESS US THE MOST.

Answer 8

Don't preach! Unless you are a preacher and in a church.

Just live your life according to Christ's teaching. Openly show and act with compassion & forgiveness toward ALL others.

Teach by example and answer honestly when someone asks why you do it.

Go the "narrow path", that leads to truth and life, and don't hide it. You will find it rewarding and at the same time you "teach" by example.

Answer 9

We had a muslim neighbor, he was a very good person, very kind ..... my family was always able to have long religious discussions with him.... one thing I've noticed, is alot of the muslim people i know, actually don't mind talking about religion, so what we do, is we respect eachothers beliefs, sometimes we were able to find out just how similar, though different our beliefs were... we've never tried to change him, he's never tried to change us, but we can have a wonderful conversation about god for hours on end....

My advice, is pray, ask god for guidance, and then go to them, talk about their beliefs, how they feel, ask them questions, show interest........... while still respecting their beliefs, talk about how you feel, dont just come right off and ask them to go to church, but build the kind of relationship, where you feel free to talk about religious matters with eachother, regardless of your differences in beliefs,

eventually, you will get to the point, where you will feel comfortable enough to ask them, you can let them know you arent trying to convert them, but just say you'd like them to come to your church, that you would just like to share with them, how your church is, and introduce them to people...

Answer 10

As you get stronger in your faith, it becomes easier to do. I understand how hard it is, When I was in high school I would invite ppl to certain events that were held at my church such as a pig pickin, or pizza party. There is no pressure there, they just meet ppl who know Jesus. It is not our job to save ppl, we just introduce them to the word and Jesus does the rest. Just have faith and pray. You have such a sweet heart, God loves when His children are concerned about each other.

Answer 11

If i where you i probably wouldn't ask, they might take it the wrong way and not be your friend , plus if you know they are Muslim that's kind of rude to ask them then, don't you think? Besides they obviously already have a religion and seem contempt with it seeing as they haven't asked you about Jesus.
