First of all, do you believe in Christ truly in your heart?
I guess not that's why you're seeking opinion. If you won't mind, accompany this friend of yours to church and open your heart to see what is there that God can offer to you. From there, you can make a decision.
Respond to this friend that you would like some more time to think about it and explore the love that Christ has to offer.
If you really ain't interested yet, just let her know. A child of God should not be forcing you nor pushing you too hard so as forcing you away.
I'm a believer in Christ myself =) All the best and God Bless.

Maybe, you have said or done something that might lead her to believe you are lost. Don't get mad at her, but if you have been saved, go to her and set down with her and explain that you have received Jesus as your Savior, and that her for being concerned. A true friend should tell their friend about Christ, if they had any clue that they were lost. May the Lord Bless both of you.

How do you know you are saved. Because you have confessed Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior & you believed in your heart He died on the cross for remission of your sins and raised up from the dead for your justification.
And, if she has done the same, then you two are already sisters in Christ.
If she can't believe you are because maybe you don't go to her church, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you know Jesus and love God. You can pray to God to let your friend get an assurance in her heart that you are a child of God. Then just let her know. Tell her what Jesus did for you. Tell her your testimony. If that isn't good enouph for her, then you did what you knew to do, and it doesn't matter whether others think if your saved or not. It matters what God assures you of in your spirit. It is Gods Spirit that bears witness in our spirits we are part of the family of God.

I would ask her with genuine concern why she believes that you might not be saved.
It is quite possible that she hears your words, but sees you living a different lifestyle than the words of saving grace that you profess to her.
It is never a bad thing to get anothers opinion of what they see about you that you might not be aware of.
The real question to ask yourself is
If I were put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough proof to convict me if I couldnt get up on the stand to testify.
The answer should be yes, but take a look at your own life and see if your thoughts match your actions, and would others know that you are a child and follower of God without you telling them.

If by potential of "saved" you recommend switched over from residing a life-time of unhappiness into one that has meaning and objective then, definite, of direction he could be. there is not any clarification why he could no longer be. absolutely everyone could be. God forgives rapidly, through fact God is conscious why we do issues, and knows that we are all performing out of our cutting-edge understanding, and doing what we predict of is powerful. the only concern that holds us lower back is ourselves. Self-forgiveness is an entire diverse count. Forgetting the previous confusing too. And having others see you as you're, and not as you have been. yet God does not techniques whilst you're making jokes approximately Him. Why might he? He'd must be a notably puny and petty God in case you need to worry Him with stupid little human words. it fairly is all reliable by potential of God.

Only you and God know your heart. It sounds as if she is judging you and there is only one judge that you have to answer to and that's Jesus Christ. If she is a good friend you should sit down with her and ask her why she thinks that you are not saved. Of course you need to go to your quiet place and spend some time in prayer and the Holy Spirit will reveal to you how to handle her questioning your relationship with God. Remember, some people hide behind "religion" saying they are saved and in reality aren't. But, as I said before, your best response will come from time spent in prayer about it. In His Name Greg

This is not somehow who is interested in a conversation - she is interested in preaching her particular view of Christianity -
which, by the way, is not Christ's. One of the things that Jesus says again and again is - Do not judge, lest you be judged. Forgive us our sins AS WE FORGIVE those who sin against us. His whole life was one of acceptance.
Your friend has already judged you and continues to judge. She is not interested in hearing you, just talking at you.
I have never found a way to communicate with that type. Walk away and let them try to save the world - whether it wants to be saved or not.

I know you have said you are saved to her before, but you need to be straight forward with her. Tell her very plainly that you are saved. But, most importantly, your relationship with Christ is a personal matter. If you know where you are, then that is what is important. Many many people get way too caught up in being judgmental and nosy. Dont let her get to you

Is there anything you are doing that gives her a reason to think that? Are your actions not adding up with your saying that you are a Christian? Regardless of what you are doing, she's not being much of a friend because she's not listening to you. If you said that you are a Christian, then that should be enough for you. I'm sorry, I don't mean to be horrible about your friend, but she isn't being one AT ALL. If someone do that to me, repeatedly, I wouldn't put up with it and the friendship would end soon.

Ask her what she means by you not being saved.
The definition of a person who is saved is one who has placed their faith in the finished work of the cross. Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the whole world so that we could have eternal life. All a person had to do is repent of their sins by asking God to forgive them. If you have done this then you are saved.
