Answer 1

I was "born" into Judaism. I was born again into Christianity when I was in my 40's. I am still in the process of becoming fully aware of my beliefs and fully accepting them as my truth. While I am now a baptized Christian, I have studied other religions whose philosophies speak truth to me, also. The Fusionism I am embracing is what is really ringing true, what is really becoming part of my awareness. It is an ongoing process, an evolution of my soul.

(((Rammie))). Question only that which beguiles you. If truth resonates within you, then accept that and move on. Do not question your truth just because someone thinks you should. Truth is truth. It has a resonance. You know it when you know it. That is all.

Answer 2

It took me a very long time to - possibly in my fifties when I began to work out how it began to fit together; before that it was all convention, brainwashing and inadequate formation. I had to start thinking in a radical way and venture out of the square to began to see the indispensable value of my faith. Main stream answers left a lot out and is often tarnished with manipulative agenda. I now subscribe to my Christian denomination by choice and not because I was born into it. Many of my contemporaries have dropped out of the faith while I found a way through it.

Peace

Answer 3

I was born into a catholic family and when I was about 12, I started to refuse some of the teachings, that they had. I didn't understand at the time , why. But now that I am a Christian who is born again, I know that it was God. He didn't want me in those areas, that were not of Him.
In my German family , I am the only one , who is born again. The rest of them are still practicing the catholic religion.

Answer 4

I was lucky to have parents who although believed in God, never made me worship the principles of Catholicism. I became an Atheist at 18 and I am now 19. I'm an old fart.

Answer 5

I am of the same Faith as my parents and as of their Parents but not because they believe in that Faith but because I have studied it and Know it to be truth. I accepted Christ as my personal Friend and Savior and was baptized when I was 9 but decided to get re-baptized because I wanted to rededicate my life to God almost two years ago when my husband and I renewed our marriage vows at our 10th anniversary. He was re-baptized as well it was a wonderful and very spiritual afternoon. It brings tears of joy to my eyes now to remember it.

Answer 6

I knew my parents believed in a God, but they did not go to any any church, nor did they really get specific about any doctrines. I came to believe in my mid thirties, and I am fifty seven now. Both of them did have a spiritual awakening late in life, but I did not share their belief until much later.

Answer 7

I wasn't born an Independent, Fundamental Baptist, God choose it for me. He lead me to the right church. I was "born" into the Church of the Nazarene and boy is that church spiritually dead!

Answer 8

while i learned and accepted, my full coming to faith and understanding that Christ was not just my Saviour but also my truest Friend was 32 years after my birth and teachings.

Answer 9

My parents were christian,but I didnt feel born ito it and my parents never tried to drill anything into me.I came to Christ myself.My parent just help strengthen me when I did become Christian.
