You shouldn't be in this section since your a teen. This place is hard for an adult to be in.
Go to the teen section and share the Love of Jesus there. Trust me, they will probably be more positive than here.

Before you do go, please pray the Lord give you His Words of Wisdom.

Have a blessed day!

Honestly - most adults who aren't Christian likely won't listen and I'll tell you why. Most people who aren't Christian aren't Christian for a reason. That reason is often experience. How much more real life "experience" could you possibly have than them? I'm not saying this to insult you, but to show you a real reason why you might not get too far with this.

I think those who want to bring others to their religion should do it the right way. Wait until someone either asks you for information, or the topic of religion comes up and the opportunity arises. The second a person claims they aren't interested - stop and leave them be. The reason a lot of non-Christians dread Christians is because of the ones who harass you and try to force you to turn to their religion.

You can't and shouldn't try. Teen or adult, any attempts to try to force your beliefs on others is obnoxious and will do nothing but alienate people.

The only things you CAN do are, if someone asks you your beliefs, state them; and pray.

Spend every waking moment that you aren't in school or doing homework praying for the salvation of all atheists and believers of other religions.

Start now.

Turn off your computer and start praying.

Don't stop until everyone on Earth has converted to your religion.

First of all, I appologise for the other rude comments some other people made. Take no notice of them! I'm a teenager too, a born-again Christian at that. And yes, you can bring adults to the Lord. Start with the adults that you are closest to, pray for them every day, ask the Lord to give the right opportunities to speak to them and the right words to say. Start involving the Lord in your convos with these other people. Testify of one or many of the miracles and great works the Lord has performed in your life. Ask them about their lives, if they are having problems or a bad day offer to pray for them. You never know where the Lord might take it. Reaching out to others with your faith is not always easy but take courage and strength in that you are doing God's will and oneday He will say to you, "Well done, good and faithfull servant" Be encouraged because I am going to pray for you for the next couple of days, God bless! ps: I'd love to hear about what happens with this, feel free to email or im me...

Well the first thing you need is the motivation, and you seem to have that!

Second, you need knowledge. Go to church every weekend, and during the week if possible. Learn as much as you can, take notes, take classes.

Also, start looking into volunteering at your church. Wherever they need help, volunteer even if it isn't the most appealing job. You will gain so much valuable experience that way.

Find out if your church offers any opportunities for missionary work. See if your church will sponsor you and send you somewhere around the world to do mission work.

Think about Bible college after high school.

"Preach the gospel at all times...Use words, if necessary."

All the best to you!

Not by preaching it to others, honestly.

"But by, as James said, 'Be a doer of the Word'"!!! Love others with Gods Agape love described in 1 Cor. 13:4-7, 11. And living a genuine Christian life of Forgiveness. Read Matthew 6:12, 14, 15. Obey the words of Jesus!! And Never Judge others in thought, word or deed!! Read Matthew 7, the first few verses. Live a sincere life of faith and obediance to Jesus, and meditate day and night as the word of God says to do. Jesus said, "if you love me you will obey my commandments. Faith works by love."
Read and obey the words of Jesus out of love for Him!! And I like the book of James personally - it encourages people that want to be a Real Christian through its words. Apostle James always took the words of Jesus very seriously, because he loved Jesus, his Lord.

As you live what you believe, it will draw others to you. They Will ask you questions, and this will give you many many opportunities to share your faith with them. "And Remember, You Are Actually Sharing your Faith with them by simply living it(without judging others)"!! It really isn't necessary to go up to a person, or to go door to door, etc. for if your truly living the life, people will approach you!! And never judge others as Jesus said.

The world is watching Christians. They see so much hypocrisy in Christians that preach and try to convert then do not live up to what Jesus really taught !! It so......sad. And this should not be.

You are not a Hypocrite !!! Share your faith with teens and adults by simply living the words of Jesus, and people will come to you, saying
"There is something different about you! Something very special, and I want it." And there is the open door.

Hope this helps.

You need to tell them how much Jesus loves them. People want to be loved and this will make them happy. Then tell them they need to love Jesus back or he will torture them in hell for all eternity. There might be some people who won't understand why Jesus would torture people if he loves them. But even though Jesus loves them he can still get angry at them for not returning his love. The example I give is suppose you have a pet cat that you love very much. Suppose one day after feeding the cat it scratched you. Wouldn't you strangle the cat? Well its the same with Jesus.

Atheists might try to convince you that science can explain things. But science depends on evidence and reason and those are just tricks by Satan. Don't be fooled by Satan's Science.

Also Atheists may be a lot smarter than we are and know a lot more but just remember while you are lounging around in heaven, Jesus is goining to be burning them with hot coals in hell.

And don't be afraid to lie to convert people to Christianity. When they are in heaven they will thank you for it.

I personally have converted many many people on this site to being Christian. They read my writings and are convinced immediatly to becoming Christian. I get nice emails from them thanking me.

A fellow soldier for the Lord!

You may wish to consider the fact that you can't bring anybody to heaven. Not even yourself. Therefore, asking how you can save adults is a misguided question with a fundamental misunderstanding. You can't save anybody.

God's Son, and God's Son alone, is he who brings souls to eternal union with God.

What you can do is spread the news of salvation through Christ. You can tell people what the love and mercy of God has done in and to your life. You can answer questions they asked by referring them to Scripture. You can support it with your personal testimony. And you can pray that God's will be done on earth, and that God's will be made apparent to you for your life.

You are going to have to get used to the fact that not all of us believe the same as you. I do not believe there is a heaven. Please don't try to force feed me your religion. It makes people angry.

Believe how you want, have all the faith you want, but don't share your faith with anyone who doesn't ask for a bite.

Live your life as an example, Let worship not just be something in church, your life is suppose to be about worship. And lastly, you need to know that everyone will not be save. Thanks and have a blessed day!
