Jesus did not convert to Christianity. Christianity is the belief that Jesus is the Savior. Jesus could not converted to Christianity because the religion is about the fact that he died on the cross. Jesus was considered king of Jews because he fulfilled the prophecy of the coming Messiah. It is illogical and impossible for Jesus to convert to Christianity.

Because Jesus was the Christ and the disciples were his followers they were the first to be called by Jesus Christ, Christians. Acts 11:26 "It was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians." If we follow Jesus' teachings we are also called Christians. Jesus did not have to convert to Christianity he was The Christ. He did not go by his own teachings but by God Almighty. The head of Jesus is God Almighty and the head of humanity is Jesus. When Jesus was baptized it was to set an example. Matthew 16:24 "Then Jesus said to his disciples: "If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake and continually follow me." God Bless you and draw close to God for wisdom and understanding. Good question.

How old are you? This is one of the dumbest questions I've ever read. Jesus was a jew. He died a jew and was ressurrected a jew. He taught under jewish law and lived under the jewish law and professed the coming of a new covenant upon his death. The blood of the covenant was his blood and considering where there is a change in the priesthood, there must be a change in the law, that explains why christianity came about. It was the relationship God offered after the cross...a new covenant. Jesus is the head of the body of Christ now.

Ok Jesus was a Jew that was known as Christ who is the son of god and the messiah the jews were waiting for. Unfortunately they did not accept him.
Christianity means a realigion that follows Jesus Christ. Therefore no he was not really converted to a Christian becaust to be a Christian is to be a believer in Christ.
Yes he was baptise, but because he was accepting God into his life.

Jesus could not have converted to Christianity because there was no Christianity until years after His resurrection from death and ascension to heaven. As a man He was a faithful Jew.

Jesus was baptised by John the baptist. He was thus converted in to a true christian. It is indeed clear in Matthew Ch.4 that Jesus was spiritually baptised. But actually those who follow Jesus is said to be a christian. Jesus followed his father in heaven and trusted his doings. Thus we can say that Jess is a christian

Jesus IS the "Christ." Therefore, Jesus IS Christianity. We model ourselves on Him because He is God, and as God, does not change.
So, is there something that God cannot do? Yep. God cannot "convert" or change, nor can He lie or have a promise go unmet. Simply not possible.
Thus, since God cannot "convert," and Jesus is God, no, Jesus did not "convert."

ok your obviously stupid or just very very uneducated. Jesus was jewish. he never was a chrisitianity around his time because there was no such thing. chrisitiany didint come about untill around 200A.D. the followers of jesus including his apostles were all jews. and after the crucifiction his followers continued his teachings. around 200 years later these teachings became known as christian teachings. because they are the teachings of christ (notice theCHRISTian). so was in no way connected with the christian church inhis life. but his teachings becam the christian church. and about the time there became christian religion the (or about 100 years before) the Roman empire began its downfall. and this was in part due to the growing number of christians within the empire. thats why they fed them to lions.

Christianity was not destinct from Judiasm for many years after Christ's resurrection, so no.
Beyond that Christians are those who seek to be more like Christ. Since Jesus is Christ, he doesn't not need to convert to be more like himself.
