Will marrying a non Christian causes me to lose my salvation?

Question

Few things not to add in your answers which is the following

1. Once you accept Jesus Christ doesn't mean you are not going to hell. If you don't follow God properly you will not make it to heaven.
2. I request that you talk about Christianity and not any other religions.
3. Answer only if you are a real Christian.

I am not trying to be mean here you know. But I am looking for hard facts and not opinion. I don't need answers like as long as you love here nothing matter because it does because Holy Spirit really exists and I have some personal experiences in my life to proof his existence though I will not say on here what I experienced. All honest answers is very much appreciated.

"real Christians" and if you are a real one you'd probably know. I don't consider people who pray to humans a Christian or pray to idol a Christian. That's an example.

Answer 1

um.... marrying a non-christian is not advised in the Bible....or actually to be avoided as mentioned in the Bible. I believe there must be a reason for this

first of all you may be a strong christian but your future partner may do to you what solomon's wives did to Him...turn you away from God and this is detrimental to your salvation.

Please listen to God and take His advice
May God be with you and ever before you

God Bless

Answer 2

Marrying Non Christian

Answer 3

Great question. On one side there is a Biblical Prohibition against marrying a non-Christian. But, no it has no bearing on your salvation. It's more of a practical prohibition to save you some possible trouble.
The issue just has to do with values. Christians want to give all of their life to Jesus (or try at least) This means they will want to tithe some of their money to the church. What will the person you marry think of that? Chances are they will find that very difficult to understand. Also things like raising money to go on mission trips, going to church on Sunday, joining a home fellowship group. If you decide to watch or not watch a certain movie will your spouse understand. One big issue is that it can cause a lot of strain in the marriage. I work in a church specifically for people who hate going to church. There are many Christians who are married to non-Christians. I can almost certainly say that it never works out well. It may start off fine, but it ends up being bad later and eventually hurting the kids. (If you have any) Say you think cussing is bad and you stop, but your spouse doesn't- and you don't want your kids to hear your spouse cuss....these are all practical thoughts of why the Bible prohibits it and I can say I've seen these reasons firsthand.

Answer 4

It is mostly a matter of the Christian's walk with God. For a Christian to marry a non-Christian, it would be a bit difficult to fully uphold his/her Christian values with someone who does not share the same. From personal experience, usually the non-Christian has greater influence over the Christian (in marriage). Most Christians would also refer to Paul's warning about being "unequally yoked" in 2 Cor 6:14-17. Although it is true that life on earth is a mere droplet in a bucket compared to the eternal afterlife, but that droplet determines where you spend it - heaven or hell. By grace you are saved through faith and by good works you show that you are saved.

Answer 5

God gives us direct instructions NOT to be unequally yoked. You can keep your salvation and try to save him along the way but you will probably have a long rough marriage. You may love him, but if the two of you are not equally yoked you will rarely have the same opinion on any thing, he will probably do many things that will make you wish that you never would have married him. I would suggest that you listen to God and marry someone that is equally yoked so that you will have a good marriage. I admire the fact that you are putting God first and yourself second. That is the way it should always be. You are on the right track.Now pray and search your scriptures and you will have the answer in no time. I think you already know the answer , that is why you have questions about marring him.

Answer 6

I have received God's wonderful annointing of Holy Spirit.
Ask God in this case, cause marraige is one major decision in life. I asked God His child and I have got a wonderful person and I am so glad of it now after 3 years of married life.
Marrying a non-christian will not loose salvation, but many problems will come which will be more, cause of different beliefs.
So ask God always and ask Him only for His will in your life.
If you have experiences with Holy Spirit, you must know that there are also trials. I was not able to face trails, so I asked my spiritual leader for guidance and support.
He told me to read bible for 30 mins each day and meditate on that and then pray to God.
You will see God guiding you with His words.
You can mail me if you need anything in particular or prayer support.

Answer 7

To be a true christian, once bapitized. You have to live and lead the life of one. It's hard enough with a mate that is christian. But your beliefs being so dirrerent are bound to be a strain on the relationship, and your salvation.

Answer 8

It is of my understanding, that once you are "saved" and accepted Jesus Christ as your saviour, there is no way you can lose your salvation. We are human and all fall short of the glory of God, even when we are saved.

And when I say that, I don't mean that we as Christians can go out and do whatever we want because our salvations are guaranteed.

However, god does speak about being not being yoked to non-believers..

I think that sums it up.

Answer 9

Nothing, I repeat, nothing can cause you to lose your salvation!

Jesus died once and His redeeming blood was shed once for remission of sins. If you could lose your salvation, that means Jesus would have to die again and that His blood wasn't enough the first time.

As Paul said, you can lose rewards in Heaven, but not salvation.

Once you accept and believe in the blood of Jesus and that He rose again and is sitting at the right hand of the Throne of God, you WILL go to Heaven.

We are told not to be yoked together with unbelievers, because they could lead you astray, but it ain't a reason to go to hell

Answer 10

Quick background - I call myself Christian, but do not believe in organised religion. I have my faith and beliefs.
You need to ask the question - Do I love the person I am marrying? If yes no conflict.
Love is a highly regarded Christian value.
Do not try to force your belief on your partner they need to find their own way.
Live your life by your Christian beliefs, your partner may take them up with you. It is another area of your life together that will flourish. In the end you may be your partners salvation.

Answer 11

Hi, I am a Chrisitian and based on what I was taught, the person who is saved will not loose their salvation. It does say in the bible for us to not be unequally yoked with a non-believer. Then it also says that the believer can lead the unbelieving spouse to Christ. The Holy Bible (KJV) also talks about if the non-believing spouse wants a divorce that has nothing to do with committing of adultery and they just want a divorce--to let them go, but a Christian is not supposed to get a divorce from the non believer, unless adultery has been committed.

So basically, the non-beleiver does not understand our ways of a Christian life, so how can we expect them to live like we do and follow the same beliefs as we do? I have nothing against a non- believer marrying a Christian.

You need to just pray and ask God to help you. Ask God to help you and the other person to grow closer together if it is God's will for the two of you to marry and ask God for the marriage to not take place if it is not His will. Fast and pray. Get your flesh under subjection, so you can get the answers that you need from God.

Always pray that God's will be done and everything will work out just fine. I wish I had scripture to show you on this subject. You can go to www.holybible.com and do a search there and the verses will come right up for you. Just keep praying for the other person's salvation. Who knows...maybe you will be the only Christian that this other person may ever know in their life? That can mean alot to God for you to help the other person come to know Christ as you do. Just be patient and keep praying.

I do not know if you are a man or a woman....but the Holy Bible does say that a woman is to obey her husband and if you are a woman....then you are to still obey your husband, but where he is not a Christian...you should not have to obey anything that he says that is not a Christian belief. For example, if you are a woman and your non believing husband says to you, "Honey, let's go out to the club and drink tonight." You as the Christian know that this is wrong. You are to be nice to him and tell him that it is against your beliefs to do this and that you love God and you want to obey God. You have to stay strong with your beliefs and by your good examples....hopefully...you can win him over to Jesus too. This scenario goes the other way too---if you are a man. I hope this helps you.=)

Meanwhile.....invite your fiance to church with you. Let he or she know that they are not going to be pressured into getting saved--you just would like them to go with you to hear you sing in church or something nice like this and then afterwards, you go out to dinner.=) Please let me me know if this helps you.=)
