If I were converted to Christianity with lies...?

Question

If I were converted to Christianity with lies, would God accept me if I converted other people to Christianity with the same lies?

Would I be condemned for unaware trickery?

Would the people I converted be condemned?

Answer 1

You can't be tricked into becoming a Christian. Either you believe or you don't.

Since you don't convert anyone yourself -- God does all the work -- then what you say, whether it's truth or lies -- doesn't make a difference. If God brings the person to salvation through your lies, then they're saved. It's not because of anything you said.

Answer 2

1) If I were converted to Christianity with lies, would God accept me if I converted other people to Christianity with the same lies?

Answer: God would accept the conversion of those who innocently converted, but would ask you to "go and sin no more."

2) Would I be condemned for unaware trickery?

Answer: if you were unaware that you were tricking people, that would not be trickery. Fooling people without you being aware of it called ignorance, not trickery.

3) Would the people I converted be condemned?

Answer: Of course not. You, on the other hand, I worry about!

You need to stop tricking people into converting. It's a form of false witness that is one God's list of The 10 Greatest Don'ts!

Mt 15:14 - so ignore them. They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch."

Mt 23:16 - "Blind guides! How terrible it will be for you! For you say that it means nothing to swear 'by God's Temple' – you can break that oath. But then you say that it is binding to swear 'by the gold in the Temple.'

Mt 23:24 - Blind guides! You strain your water so you won't accidentally swallow a gnat; then you swallow a camel.

Ac 20:29 - I know full well that false teachers, like vicious wolves, will come in among you after I leave, not sparing the flock.

Ga 4:17 - Those false teachers who are so anxious to win your favor are not doing it for your good. They are trying to shut you off from me so that you will pay more attention to them.

1Ti 6:3 - Some false teachers may deny these things, but these are the sound, wholesome teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ, and they are the foundation for a godly life.

2Pe 2:1 - But there were also false prophets in Israel, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will cleverly teach their destructive heresies about God and even turn against their Master who bought them. Theirs will be a swift and terrible end.

2Pe 2:11 - But the angels, even though they are far greater in power and strength than these false teachers, never speak out disrespectfully against the glorious ones.

2Pe 2:12 - These false teachers are like unthinking animals, creatures of instinct, who are born to be caught and killed. They laugh at the terrifying powers they know so little about, and they will be destroyed along with them.

Jude 1:8 - Yet these false teachers, who claim authority from their dreams, live immoral lives, defy authority, and scoff at the power of the glorious ones.

God Bless You!

Answer 4

God judges everyone on an individual basis. If a person was not sincere (a hypocrite) when they preached the gospel but they were still preaching the truth, the converts would still be saved but the person preaching would not be...

In the gospels, Jesus told his disciples to listen to the teachers of that time (the pharesees and the scribes) and to do what the teachers said to do... BUT Jesus said for his disciples NOT to do what the teachers actually did....the teachers were hypocrites.

Answer 5

I would say as long as you have Jesus Christ as your personal LORD GOD and SAVIOR and you believe Jesus is the Son of God and that God raised Jesus from the dead and Jesus is now with power sitting at the right hand of God the Father. I wouldn't think you have a thing to worry about as long as you are born again and baptized.

Answer 6

I wish I knew who was accepted by God and who was condemned.

Answer 7

You know the answers to this already. If you have to lie to get people to convert to Christianity, it doesn't say much for either you, nor Christianity.

I would imagine that it is you, and not anything in the religion, that is at fault here, though.

Answer 8

Well, seeing that are a million something denominations, who all say different things, and

WE ARE RIGHT, and THEY are ALL WRONG, automatically. (It does not matter who the WE are.)

And everybody cannot say different things and all be right.

How many lies, halftruths and misconceptions do you think there are in Christianity?

Hmmm?

Answer 9

What lies were you told, allegedly? Sounds like a suspicious question to me.

Answer 10

I think you will not be saved. Salvation is like a marriage contract. You need to take YHVH's name and follow His rules. Then you become the "bride" of the Messiah, and He will save you in the end. If you haven't, you won't be. If you accept the Messiah, you have life, if you choose to remain connected to your sins, you go where they go. (They will be consumed in the purifying fire that destroys sin and sinners so YAHOSHUA can make all things new.)
