Lasgidi90:

No, I'm saying, what if religion wasn't taught until you get to a certain age. Do you really think many people will accept religion as it is now?

Yes and No!

Which is what we already have and see.

hopefulLandlord:
most are upbringing

Christianity is not acquired by birth.

Lasgidi90:

How do you think the world would be if everyone was allowed to pick his/her religion to practice.

You don't need to argue with that Crunchy a$$ Dtruthspeaker..........all he types on here are gibberish and he feels he's making a whole lotta sense.
People like him just try to look for someone to vent anger and frustrations on.

He's always been like that on Nairaland!
Just ignore him and let your a$$ have peace!

Well I was just trying to engage him in a meaningful conversation.

All of the above

Upbringing. Now, I am an atheist.

Conviction...... I am true testimony of the presence of a living God being in the Church

Most people are Christians because their family members are Christians while many others were just forced. Most people don't even adhere to the rules of the religion, except on Sundays.

Exmilitant:
I was among the few fortunate ones who grew up with no religious background.

Papa wasn't religious.
Mama didn't care.

Mine papa didnt care
Mama cares.

@pocohantas,ishilove and cococandy i give una 24hrs to share your experiences on these wonderful thread or i will creat a counter thread, How did you become a winch

Kobojunkie:
Personal research, and trials!

I researched different religious ideas and tried all I could until God Himself responded.

before then were you neutral?

I was raised that way.

Conviction Christ is the way

Born into a Christian family with a Christian upbringing, so I became a churchgoer. However my convictions come from researching the Bible and an English translation of the Koran. Which taught me that the Koran at a first glance is just a copy of the Old Testament with lots of omissions and several tweaking of Hebrew names to Arabic. For example, Moses is translated to Musa and Adam to Adamu! I’d rather go with the original than a photocopy (no offense meant, just my personal opinions)!

Grammaton:
You may have become a Christian because you came from a religious family or you became a Christian because you had the conviction or that's what your friends made you believe. But how did you really become a Christian?

From upbringing to conviction.
But now I lost interest in it. Still in search of a religion that will give me that inner solace.

I used to be by birth and compulsion, but now I've seen the light and left any nonsense called religion.

By Upbringing God is love

Papa wasn't religious.
Mama didn't care.

You were quite fortunate bro.

Dtruthspeaker:


Most people who claim Christianity by upbringing are not usually Christians aka Christ-like.

Christianity is not a Citizenship acquired by birth and compulsory indoctrination.

It is a citizenship that is acquired by the exercise of the Right to Choose which citizenship you will to acquire and whose citizenship you will to cast away.

That is how a valid Christian citizenship is acquired!

In the Country of Christ, Free and wilfull exercise of the personal right of choice is EVERYTHING!

Therefore, anyone who does not and did not go through due process can not and will not be a Citizen of Christ! Therefore not a Christian.

I just wish I could give you a hug

Nobody was born a Christian..
Even though you were born in a Christian family or your dad is a pastor doesn't matter until you give and surrender your own life to Christ....then you become a Christian...

I became a Christian through conviction too..
Having a personal encounter with the Lord is the best

Honchoslim16:

Did you make sense with the shit you wrote there..huh?

Can't play with me, you know I come trim, I'm in a different league!

Don't mind the guy, he's still living in delusion.

Dtruthspeaker:


Even though it was being taught me, I checked it against ordinary natural living and I saw that it was accurate and good and very gainful and sweet.

Now because of God, and His Son and His Teachings, I have found everything that the Bible said I could gain and life is very very sweet! Exactly as Written in the Bible!

Every religious person holds this view- including Muslims, traditionals etc.

Upbringing. I have my mum to thank for that.

Raised in a Christian home..but was a bad boy in every sense of the word..

I just looked at my life that if I continued like that I will have a terrible future and life ahead, so I just decided to turn to God,and be more focused and serious with the regular church sermons and my life turned around

No one directly preached to me I just took the word and God seriously and he did not fail me
I was 14 then

by birth and baptism and for fellowship. no more sin with christ fellowship

Administration1:
Christians, it's high time you wake up from this wickedness, look at the crises in the financial sector.

The worst is yet to come in the form of Tinubu Shettima ticket, as if the muslim muslim ticket is not a wicked contraception, they decided to spite all Christian by fixing the rally for a Sunday by 9AM when people are about going to Church.


Taking the millions of Nigerians who are Christians to gutters.

Do you know the funny thing? most people will still come out and collect the 3k promised for each person.

Tinubu is evil

Conviction

Attending Church doesn't make one a Christian (Christ like). In the time of Jesus Christ, the pharisees were religious (like the nominal Christians in today's world) but they never knew God and didn't portray his nature. Attending Church doesn't automatically translate to you having the nature of Christ Jesus
