Don't go to Yahoo answers for stuff like that. Most of the people in here are against Christians. Ask your Pastor. You can't ask an Muslim or Atheist how to accept Christ. Only come here if you or your friend know more about the Bible. If you don't, they may discourage you.

If you haven't, I think it usually helps when someone hears another's personal testimony of how they came to know Christ or why they believe. Pray and have faith and I'll pray for you too. Remember, nothing is impossible with God. Also maybe find out what's keeping her from accepting Christ and go from there. Good luck!
God bless

Tell your friend that everything that she has ever wanted and asked GOD for if she dedicates her life fully to GOD she will get. At first the devil will try to destroy her but thats only because he knows the blessings GOD has in store for her. Let her know that the only end poze and the end to her pain is living eternally in heaven with God, not rotting in hell because she let the devil intimidate her. Let her know because of her desire God already honors that and that thing that she needed help with its on hte way. Now imagine her fully dedicate God willdo things her friends or the devil can't even tough. Be encouraged and tell her to be encouraged. If either of you need more advice or another friend.

First of all I am sorry to see you got a bunch of negative comments.
Secondly I am excited for your friend. I know we as belivers want to just give that person about to get saved a nudge to push them into doing it but I also know sometimes that doesnt work. It really depends on who you are dealing with. What I would do personally is just continue to share testimonys of what the Lord has done for you and how He blesses you in your everyday life.
By doing that she will understand the power and wonders that God holds and she will want the same thing.
Also keep praying for God to continue to work in her and soften her heart and bring her closer to Him.
By your consistent testimony and prayer she will be saved by Gods wonderful mercy and grace...
Godbless you ...

The best thing is to be her friend.Thank the lord I have been blessed to have helped a few including a brother that was agnostic and has passed away and have found through their conversations to me on the subject of Jesus is that they say I just loved them and they saw something in me that was real and they wanted it.

Yippeeee!!!!! Everything the world is seeking after is their's. Peace, joy, love etc. All the good stuff. It also means that no matter what they have to go through in life, they will never have to walk alone. Yes..I am happy for them. Mmm

One one reads the teachings of Jesus Christ there is a common theme; getting rid of your negative emotions (hate, anger) and replacing it with positive emotions (love, trust). Do you know what that makes a person? Happier.

Nothing really. Pray to God for her and then give something up for her. Give up a cup of coffee or a candy bar or give up a movie. It will not go unnoticed by God. He is the one that needs to convert her. If he wants you to say something then he will put it in your mouth.

I would show God's patience and pray for the Holy Spirit to speak to her/his heart. Don't badger as I'm sure she knows what you think about her situation and it may hinder her seeking the Lord.

My brother (who is soooooooo lazy) was like that so I finally sat him down and asked him to make a decision right then and there. I don't know if that would work on anybody else though...
