Christianity : My Beliefs Of Christianity And My Religion

I have grown up in a Christian home but it wasn't until my junior year of high school when I was at Hume Lake with my youth group that I dedicated my life to being a disciple for Christ. That following summer I went on my first mission trip to Haiti to serve at an orphanage and shortly after returning home I decided to get baptized. My faith was put to the test when my family decided to move from Santa Barbara to Pennsylvania during my senior year. My dad moved there six months early while my mom, my brother and I stayed back and lived in my best friends small guest house so we could finish the school year. My world was completely flipped and nothing was going the way I planned but I knew that I could trust in God in whatever situation he put

Christianity played a significant role in my life up until lower school. I would go to church with my Dad every Sunday morning to help set up, which is how we became close. I fondly remember how he instilled that with a close relationship to God, you could get through anything. I took what he said to heart, said my prayers before bed and meals, and read my bible. I always dreamed of going to Heaven and spending eternity with my family. As the only religion that I had ever known, I thought everyone else also believed in Christianity. I never questioned any of it until elementary school.

I became a Christian when I was 8 years old in the summer between 1st grade and 2nd grade, I grew up in a Christian household, and we went/still go to First Baptist Church of Hendersonville, TN. As I grew up I found that I thought what it meant to be a Christian was by going to church, believing in Jesus, and being kind to others, that is what I thought until high school, I knew there was much more to it, but I did not know where to start. Once I hit high school, I became more grounded in my faith. I developed a great Sunday school group all four years that I was blessed to have and they were not afraid to go deeper and I also joined the last two years of high school growing in a Wednesday night group. I thought of my Sunday school teachers

The environment you grow up in and people you find yourself surrounded by as your make your way through the maze of life has a profound impact on a person 's worldviews. I am no exception to this rule, and to illustrate this point I will detail how I was raised, what I believed, and how I came to start examining those beliefs a little closer. This critical examination of my own beliefs has led to change how I think about the world in an enormous way, and has had a massive impact on how I relate to and understand other people.

My whole life I have been surrounded by Christianity. I’ve gone to church for as long as I can remember mainly because of my best friends uncle. My best friends uncle is a Pastor at a Methodist church. All of this has influenced me in my decision in determining that Christianity is the Ultimate Reality. The major claim of Christianity is Christ, Son of God, rose from the dead to show his deity and forgive us for our sins.

I became a Christian in 1982 while in high school. I had never attended church prior to Easter 1982. I found something interesting in the whole of the service and decided to read a Bible. The Bible made some sense to me. I had a few questions about some of the stuff that had happened and was given Evidence that Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell. Well that answered most of my questions. I was also given Mere Christianity which answered more questions. I felt convicted by the Holy Spirit and asked G-d to come into my life and forgive me of my sins.

Christianity has proven to be very essential in my life. 1. it has provided a sense of protection for me. I first experienced this as a child while while growing up in a household without a father figure. He provided me a sense of security from a spiritual father that I didn't have from a physical father. 2. Christianity has also provided a moral standard. This standard has allowed me to hold myself accountable in situations where I otherwise would have been weak. Finally 3. it gives me the assurance of life after death. Through teachings of my grandmother I look forward to the blessed return of Jesus Christ at the last trumpet sound. For the Lord himself will decend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and

Since birth, I have been a Christian. Specifically, I belong to the United Methodist Church. My mother was a Catholic, but had decided to become a United Methodist and to raise me in that church. I have always believed in Christian beliefs such as God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, as well as having read Bible stories since childhood and participating in Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, retreats, and many other things. I have many essential memories of being in church, from asking the pastor to allow me to finish the bread and grape juice from Communion at the end of every Eucharist Sunday service (she always obliged) to being certified as a Youth Lay Servant and giving a few sermons. My faith has been a big part of my life for all nineteen years of it, and I try to live my life in a way I believe God wants me to.

Growing up I identified with being Christian (Methodist) because my grandparents were members of a Methodist church and I often attended services with them. Once I graduated high school and went to college, I began attending a nondenominational church which was a huge change from the religious experiences I had as a child. After my first experience at a nondenominational church I attended services throughout my remaining 4 years. Although I adopted my parents’ ways of worship early on prior to any life experiences, I later became independent and developed my own spiritual identity that I still identify with.

I have always believed in Christ since I was a little girl. But it wasn’t until I made the decision to follow him when I truly started to have faith and believed. Following him has mold me into the person I am today. Growing up my grandparents and parents set a good example of how living for Christ should look like. They were always involved in church. My grandpa was a deacon for over forty years and my grandma open her house to many people from the church. Both of my parents became a Christian in their teenage years. They both serve in ministry at our local church. My mom sings in the choir and my dad is a deacon. They have hosted a small bible group in our home for over seven years. Seeing my grandparents and parents serve the lord taught

When I was younger my parents and I would go to a church often and then we had stopped for a while. My mom then registered me into Catholic church classes when I was in fourth grade so I could do be baptized and do my first communion. After I had got baptized and everything I started to question which religion was the right path. Then I started questioning Christianity specifically.

In conclusion, my start in Christianity was a bit later than some, but a bit earlier than others. I have learned, and continue to learn so much about God, myself, and the world around me from the bible, my family, and my peers. I will always have many questions that are unanswered, but I know that God has the best plan for me, which is why I keep believing in Christ’s name and strive to live my life in a way that glorifies

I have carried the title of “Christian” for as long as I can remember. Still, appropriating the Christian faith for myself did not begin until middle school. As a child, my family moved churches and traditions every few years. My family first attended a Baptist Church, then moved to a United Methodist Church, and finally settled in a non-denominational Pentecostal Church. It was while we were attending this church that I had the most significant experience of my life to date. While I was attending a youth conference, the pastor began giving altar calls for different groups of people. After various altar calls, he eventually gave a call for those who felt called to go into youth ministry. I had never considered such a path before, but something

Long time ago, I was told that Christianity was the true religion until a Muslim told me it isn't. So I studied their claims, then I asked, was Sunni or Shia the true one? Then the answer was &@^&#₩%"*!. So I once decided to be a Hindu, then I met a Sikh that they don't agree with each other in India. So I read about philosophy, then they complicate things by verifying or challenging almost everything. So I once convinced again that Christianity is the true religion, then again there are 33,000+ sects in the world, each one saying that other sects, denominations or religion is incorrect, and those who don't belong in their sect or denomination is a sinner or deserved to be punished forever. So, I decided not be a member of any religions on

Since the day I was born my parents took my sister and me to church ever Sunday. I grew up in a loving Christian home and was encouraged at an age where I could fully understand, to purse a relationship with Jesus. I accepted Christ into my heart when I was in the second grade and was baptized in the fourth grade at age 10. Growing up I have always been super involved in Church. I have a heart for people and love serving. Since 3rd grade until now, my senior year of high school I have been on the leadership team with my youth group. I can not imagine my life without Jesus as the center. I have been pushed to step out of my comfort zone and because of that I have grown in several different ways. For example, I am an extrovert and enjoy getting new people, but never liked public speaking as I felt nervous and intimidated. By the many adult leaders, and pastors coming along side of me and encouraging me to step of on my comfort zone I now highly enjoy speaking and spreading the truth about The Lord in big groups of people. I am so thankful for the many God loving people that have come in my life and helped stretch me. Jesus is my entire life and I am nothing without him.
