Mention it to them, but dont be pushy. If they are interested then you can go on, if not then stop. They may have different religious beliefs then you.

Open up a discussion. Something that will get them interested and talking. We just recently had a big discussion going on in my office about God and religion which steamed from the Nostradamus prophecies. We really got into and they asked me loads of questions. One of the girls started digging into the Word to find more answers and so did I. The best thing...get them thinking. Apply the Word the their every day lives. You won't loose your friends as long as you don't try to push it on them. Play to their curiosity. Some of them might want more and more and others might shy away. Just go with it and pray about it. Ask God to be with you and help you to say the right thing.

If you go to church then invite them to some of your youth activities. That will open the door. A real friend would not get upset with you for talking to them about God. Hold on to your faith no matter what. Don't listen to the negative and rude post that you have received on here.
God Bless!

The best way to share God's word with others is to live it. That is, let your friends see Christ in you. Let them see the love in your heart, by the way you treat them and others. Let them see it, by the way you live your own life. Then, they'll become curious enough to ask you questions about the Bible. Until then, study your Bible; so you'll be able to respond correctly.

Quite honestly, as part of some religions I know it's your "job" to so-called spread the word, but honestly I don't see sharing it with your friends as not being pushy.
If they want to understand more of your religion or talk about God, they will come to you.
Please do not take offense to this. Your friends may get the wrong impression, especially if they do not have the same beliefs as you.

Do not listen to what the God -Haters are saying, listen to the word of God,,,, Jesus said --GO--, you must obey if you love him. Allow the Holy Spirit to do the converting, You just be faithful.... And yes people will get mad at you --- you may even lose friends---it happened to Jesus, His Apostles, and it will happen to you if you are faithful to tell.---GOD SPEED

no affence but not many 15 year olds belive in god
so start easy
by asking wot they think happens when u die
then ask if they belive in god
if they do tell them how you feel
but if there god mates then just ask them out straight
cause they probly wont care
if you proper mate
hope this helps

Nothing. Say absolutely nothing. If you want to influence people, do so by example. Live the holy life you want to preach about.

I agree with captain bunkan... and I don't want you telling me about Santa, the easter bunny, toothfairy or cupid either.
Good luck.
PS just be a good role model and people will follow your ways.

as a 14 year old myself,i would be pissed at anyone who came up to me and told me anything like God isnt real.
i believe in him,and accept that others dont,but if they try to convert me,they'll leave with a black eye
pretty much the same concept.
