would you believe in CHrist ?

It depends on what *you* believe. Hopefully, any person that would do this, that is, try to convert YOU on their deathbed, is just loving and sincere in their own faith and they're doing it because they also love you. It's hard for me to not see this as one final guilt-trip, though...
Basically, I think that this should affect you only as much as it would if the person wasn't dying. Would you believe in Christ if they asked you the same thing over the phone and you were going to see them tomorrow?

I would reassure them that everything was ok with me and that regardless I love them but I can not change my belief just because they ask me to. I could never believe in god I have never believed in him and probably never will. I say probably because who knows where I'll be in 20 years maybe I'll be in a funny farm talking to walls and eating paper. All jokes aside if someone loves you why would they ask you to change? I consider myself a good person I don't go out to hurt others and I help who I can so for someone to want me to change that would be asking me to change all of me because that alone would be the biggest change of all to change everything I believe in.

if it meant that I would see then again you bet your bottom dollar I would and I wouldn't think twice about it, of course I already believe so it is easy for me to say that..But it is always better to believe in Christ because you made the choice yourself....because doing it the other way you may not be a happy one, so do it on your own by accepting Jesus into your life..you'll be more happier doing it that way.

Um no. First of all, they're dying. It's not like they can be happy that i gave my life to Christ when they're dead...
Second of all, you don't just all of a sudden believe in Christ like that...

Belief wouldn't save you without the heart change ;)

No I would tell them everything is OK and not to worry, because if heaven is true and they are going and I am not, they can't miss me, because they won't feel pain.

it won't hurt to try. why not try? you won't loose anything. remember though, truth comes from the mouth of the dying.
