Based on my informal research, the following are the 10 most common ways that people become Christians:
1. By birth, i.e. parental influence
2. When they were under tremendous stress one time in life and need spiritual guide
3. By miracle, which they link to the power of God
4. By trying to disprove Christianity but actually found it to be true
5. By marriage, influence from spouse *
6. To gain personal interests through the church (social network, relationships) *
7. Successful preaching by others
8. Finding out the current faith is not true, convert to Christianity
9. Just because Christianity sounds cool or seems to be beautiful
10. By instinct
* You may not call these folks real Christians

I'm not quite sure where I fit in there. I was rasied Christian, but I left the faith for about 15 years. I returned, but didn't really "get it" until I faced a spiritual crisis. I don't know. Probably 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 10.

Can it be a combination between one, two and seven? I was Christian by birth but never really thought about it. I believed God probably existed but it never concerned me, until two years ago when both two (finding God in a time of stress) and seven (preaching from others, mainly my friends) occured.

No body is a Christian a birth. In order to be a Christian a person must accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior.

None of the above, I had a personal experience with the Holy Ghost, I was atheist, it wasn't suppose to happen, it was suppose to be impossible, but it happened, and I know what I know to be true and can't deny God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit ever.

Number 9, basically ... its a little more complicated than that, but number 9 boils it down to its simplest form.

Greetings,
Mortal man, a child/person becomes Christian, through the First Sacrament that is Baptism.
Not by anything else.

Ummmmm No.........Being a true Christian is believing in our Lord Jesus who died for our sins. Taking in the Lord and you savior is a true Christian.............It's called the bible which is the book of life.

Satan's hands around my throat. I almost died and I wasn't saved. Jesus walked me out of the shadow of death and I have never looked back.
