I find that when I meet a new friend, if I find out they are a Christian I feel closed off. In my past experience, being a TRUE Christian means that they have to believe they have the only right way and others are wrong. I have had some Christian friends that never tried to change or save me, but I still am convinced that I am judged, as I am so famliar from my past with their beliefs. When you meet a Christian that says they 'accept' you and don't need you saved or changed, do you also feel confused?

Yes. I understand what you are saying completely. I was a Christian at one point as well.

Christians are people like everyone else with faults and weaknessess. This is just a guess, but perhaps they don't try to change or save you because they're afraid of what you might think. They shouldn't be but I think maybe this is the case. Would you like to really freak them out? Next time you are together, ask them what you must do to be saved! (you can write to me too if you like).

True Christians dont judge anyone and accept people for who they are, at least the True Christians I have met and deal with on a daily basis

Being christian doesnt mean that you cant have fun and that they are just a dull person. Actually true christians are the happiest people. What kind of friends do you have that say they "except you" as if they are god? You obviously got chrisitians confused.

If somebody says they love me the way I am, they should not then turn around and try to convince me to change.
I have Christian friends and family members who have tried to get me to go along (or who probably secretly wish I would). But when anyone directly tries to get me to turn into a Christian, I politely tell them no.
If they continue to pester me, I avoid them whenever possible.
If they have enough sense not to bring it up again, we can be friends. This is how I have any Christian friends at all.

no, I accept their believe and get past it.
Its not really being judged; they just believe something not tru and worry about you.
a TRUE christian cant believe they are better, just they have accepted the truth and hence are saved however unworthy

I never feel confused! I think Christians are the most confused by themselves. They really do not know what they are doing. Ever heard the statement, " misery likes company"? Well there you go, and that is what happens when you allow yourself to be brainwashed by a fairytale, written by old farts that cant get it up anymore.

I'm just gonna say this. If they are true Christians who really care about you and love you, then they will present the gospel to you atleast once. If they don't, then they don't care about you. What they are saying when they don't present you the gospel is that your fun to hang around, but I don't care about your eternal destiny. They are saying that they don't want to see you in Heaven.

I like to think that they really do accept me, but I'm pretty sure they just put my beliefs out of their minds so that we can get along.

If one accepts the Scripture, that the only way to Salvation is through YAHOSHUA. Then one SHOULD feel compelled to share that insight.
