Divorced once.
All friends are not Christians.
Yes, explored all other faiths, none are like Christianity.
Adult.
Christianity is the only faith that has no grasp over its people, you can leave at any time, you are free to make your own decisions. The powe of the holy spirit is real and evident. Being a Christian is like accepting a present on Christman that you do not deserve.
Yes 90% of year.
No, but I would if I had to...
Non-denomonational, but have attended Lutheran - which I consider to be about as close to the best "system" I have found. Luther was an amazing man who changed the way we worship.
Most importan part is the resurrection of Christ, without that, everything is meaningless.
No, not directly... it was more the feeling that I was not living my life in accordance with His will. Sorrow.
Yes I read the bible regularly and it amazes at how deep it is, and also that it really is the living word of God and speaks to you.
Finding a new church is important, but not as important as your peronal relationship with the Lord. Location and sound biblical doctrine are important. Visit for a while go to a few local churches and then get to the know the pastor... "church shopping" isn't recommended though... All churches will disappoint you in some way because they are built of infallable humans...
Good question, not enough... being good at prayer is hard work...
Great questions by the way, good luck.

Are you divorced? if so more than once? NO
Are all of your friends Christians? Most are, I have some that are not.
Have you ever explored other faiths? Explored extensively, no.
Was your decision to become a Christian made as a child or as an adult? I was 8 years old when I was saved.
What about the Christian faith attracted you to it? I was raised in a Christian church. At the age of 8, I felt the Holy Spirit calling me and I responded.
Do you attend a church regularly? Yes- 4 services each week
Do you work on Sunday? Well, if you can call it work, I'm a church pianist.
What kind of church do you attend-catholic, baptist, methodist...etc? Baptist
What is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of the Christian doctrine TO YOU? Knowing that God will forgive no matter what and that no works I can do can get or take away my salvation. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I'm perfect or that I always make the right decision!!
Did the fear of hell in any way influence your decision to become a Christian? No
Do you read your Bible regularly? Not like I should
When you move how do you find a new church? Haven't been faced with that. I transferred to a different church (in the same city) after my original church started having problems w/ the pastor.
How often do you pray? Several times a day- I need it....lol!!
Thank you for you time. Your welcome!

I am not divorced, but I did become an unwed mother early in life. (pre-salvation)
Not all of my friends are christians, no. I did explore several other faiths (pre- and post-salvation) Decision made as an adult.
I wasn't "attracted" to becoming a christian and fear of hell never really played a part. It was more a relenting control of my life after having made a total mess of it. I attend church at least twice a week and do not work on Sunday.
I currently attend a Baptist church, but I could give a rip what banner I or anyone else waves as long as the gospel message is being shared.
I try to read my Bible as often as I can. Some days, I can sit and study, drinking in God's word for hours and other days, I just don't get around to it. And I like to "pray without ceasing" which means falling in and out of conversation with God all throughout my day.
Since getting saved, I have not moved far enough away to need to change my church. So I have no answer to that one.

Never been divorced....married 7 1/2 years
No my friends fall all over the spectrum
Yes, I grew up Protestant, tried Wicca and have now converted to Catholicism
I did decide as a child, out of fear, so it didn't last long.
God's love and forgiveness attracted me
Yes, I attend Church at least twice a week
No I do not work on Sunday, but sometimes my husband has to.
Catholic
Show love to everyone, trusting in God's forgiveness and love
When I was a child the fear of hell did influence me. As an adult now I see that God is love, patience and kindness, so fear doesn't matter.
I try to read to read my Bible regular I don't always get it done though.
Yellow Pages are helpful, but I call the Chamber of Commerce and have them send me a relocation packet, it has everything in it.
I pray several times a day

no. 1 husband of 12 yrs
most but not all friends are christians
didn't need to explore, God revealed himself to me. It's about relationship not rules of a particular religion
my decision was made as an adult. I was 21. But I can look back on my life and see where God was with me.
I prayed to God in my heart. Nobody else I knew was a Christian. God began answering the secret questions of my heart until I fell in love with Him. Only after He completely had my attention did He begin leading me to find a church
I attend church on Sunday, I also go to a bible study on Tuesday and lead one on Friday
No I don't work, I am a stay at home mother who homeschools 4 children
non-denominational Christian
The most important part is that Jesus died for my sins. Also very important is that He is now my best friend
No. I didn't fear hell at all. I was the worst and proud of it.
I read the Bible everyday
I would pray then visit a few. I would go somewhere until I decided which one I would make my home church. I wouldn't be slack on attending somewhere because it's easy to fall into sin or deception if you don't be careful
I pray all the time. I talk to God just as I'd talk to a person. He's interested in everything I deal with so I include Him. Of course, I also set aside about 20 minutes a day to worship
It was worth my time.

No. Married 9 years.
Not all of my friends are Christians, but most
I have studied other faiths; both before I started to live my life for Christ, because I was searching, and after, so that I would be able to reach out to others and be aware of some of the deceptions that are out there
I accepted Christ as my Savior as a child, but never lived a truly Christian life until an adult in my mid twenties
What attracted me to Christ, and thus Christian faith, was the ability to have a relationship with God and forgiveness from sin. It was the truth in Christianity that attracted me
I attend church regularly, teach Sunday School for adults and adult Bible study and lead a weekly Christian Men's group
I have worked on Sunday. My regular job does not require it, but I have helped out others in times of need.
I attend an Evangelical Free Church
The most important part of the Christian doctrine to me is salvation by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ
Yes, fearing eternal punishment for my sins affected my desire to search for forgiveness
I read the Bible regularly
My wife and I have only changed churches once, when we moved after being married, and we joined a church where we knew other people
I pray multiple times every day
You are welcome

I am a Christian.
I divorced my first husband. He is now deceased. I am remarried over 20 years.

I have done a little exploration of other faiths.
I was raised a Christian [Catholic]. I chose to remain a Christian as an adult.
I do not attend church regularly.

I would like to find a non-denominational community church.
The most important part of the Christian faith to me is CHRIST!!! and living my life as close to Christ as I possibly can.
No, hell was not the reason why I decided to remain a Christian. I embrace Christ. I love God! I cannot imagine my life without God. I don't know how anyone can live without God in their lives!
I read my Bible every day.
I pray every day, several times a day.
You're welcome and God bless!
