Not until you learn how to spell it.

I say yes, but I also hate it when people like you challenge others to prove their religions. Do you need a reason to decide on what you believe in? Are you so desperate of spiritual fulfillment that you go with the advice of others? (which by the way, alot of their reasons are very circumstancial or just plain stupid) Think about it yourself. A religious conversion is a huge part of your life, and I'd be dam*ed before I let someone else on an online discussion decide what God will lead me to salvation. If you think that you will be able to have a happier life with Christ in your life, go for it. But if you think it's not for you, be at least agnostic. Then when the proof hits you in the face, you will know what to follow.

No. It is not a decision to make just to make it.
To truly become a christian it is a total commitment and way of life that hits you like a truck. You know when the decision is correct for you. Most people that call themselves Christians have not been hit by the metaphoric truck and truly have not taken the steps. Just because someone claims to be a Christian does not make it so. Faith without deeds is dead.

Yes, If you wish to follow Christ.

To be a Christian means to follow Christ, to desire Him, to fellowship with Him, to be indwelt by Him, and to bring glory to Him in your life.

Some people think that to be a Christian means you can't see movies, that you can't dance, can't have a drink, or that you can't have any more fun. That isn't true. Christianity isn't about rules and regulations to follow. It is about a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the Old Testament times God gave the Law which had to be followed precisely. There were instructions about clothes, food, what you could or could not do on the Sabbath, what you had to do in the temple, how priests were to carry out their functions, how strangers were to be treated, how people were to be punished, etc. All these things were to be observed properly and precisely since all of them affected their standing before God. That was in Old Testament times, but now we have Jesus and the requirements of the Law are no longer necessary for us in order to please God.

Being a Christian means that you are changed on the inside, not controlled from the outside. It means that your heart has been changed by the presence of God. It does not mean that you are required to go to church, required to pay tithes, required to be good, required to do anything in order to stay a Christian. It means you desire to do those things because you've been changed.

You will have God leading your life. It is so much better now that I have Him leading and guiding me. When I speak to Him in that unknown language it is the most wonderful feeling in the whole wide world. I was looking for this through drugs, alcohol, material things, and many other things. But when I experienced His Love, I don't ever want to go back to anything else!! You can experience this yourself by experiencing Acts 2:38. It is for all of us!!

If you feel the need to belong to an organized religion and you've found value and beauty in Christianity beyond other faiths you've considered, yes you should convert.

If you haven't found anything that interests, draws you or just "clicks" with you in Christianity, then no you should continue seeking. You may come back to it later or find something else that touches your heart and "just makes sense" to you.

Yes, but what you are doing is not joining a group of rules and regulation, you are being invited to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ himself! And he will give you his spirit to live in you and bless your life. Go read John 3 and get that spirit. And acts 2.

If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)

Yes you should. Otherwise, you will face the wrath of our FATHER. HIS SON will come at the appointed time and Judge each and every one of us according to our obediqance to GOD's WORD. Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. We must HEAR GOD’s WORD. - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
2. We are told to BELIEVE. - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
3. We must REPENT (turn from) of our sins. - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
4. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST before men. - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
5. We are to enter the waters and BE BAPTIZED. - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
6. We are told to CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL until death. - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

Yes, if you study it and make up your mind that you will stick with it. Read the book of John in the new testament bible. You will learn more about Jesus and go to a good bible believing church . If you decide to become a Christian, you will never regret it.
