Yes. It took the Law that Jesus used to bring sinners to Him that made me realize that in order to be a Christian, I had to repent and then put my trust in Him.
Haven't looked back to the old life since.

When I was younger I did not know as much as I know now. As in the bible it says "move from the milk to the meat" some people just stay in the milk forever...never moving on to the meat of God's word. I am glad I am now in the meat! But that came with age and more understanding and desire for the Lord. However I always knew the Holy Spirit was with me even as a child- I would feel convicted EASILY over things. And I always wanted to please God. But it is truly amazing to have a relationship with Jesus Christ....seek Him more. Study the Word- and let HIM teach you- pray the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth...talk to God daily...this is what establishes that relationship. Have a good day!

Well, I always THOUGHT, growing up in the catholic church that I was a Christian, until I was shown from the Bible what it means to be a true Christian.....since we were never encouraged to read our Bibles ourselves (too complex for the average person, we were told), I had NO IDEA how wrongly I was being led AWAY from God. I thank God that He sent His servants to me who loved God and the lost enough to share the life changing Gospel message of Jesus Christ with me. I've never been the same since!

Yes. Anybody can be baptized, but they might not have a personal relationship with Christ. That is where the whole being "Born again" comes in. You have to place God in every aspect of your life. Must importantly, you need to have faith in him. Communicate with him through out the day and do not lose faith. If you really want to, you can find Him. It took me 23 years and two baptisms, but it was worth the wait.

Yes, there was a time in my life exactly as you described. But Now I know the truth that I need to spend time reading the Bible and praying every day and just listening to God, I am grateful that God never gave up on me!

I was one of those that figured that since I wasn't a Jew then I was a Christian. So, yes.

Yes, for a pretty long time actually, until about five years ago.
