Q&A for How to Convert to Christianity

Follow your heart and accept the Lord in your heart. I recommend going to a church to get baptized, or read the Bible.

Go to your nearest Christian church and ask questions. Join them for a bible study or go to the meetings. Talk to the priest about converting.

Marry a Christian woman so that she will be able to assist you in your Christian journey from now on. It will also be very helpful since you will have someone to pray for you and support you in everything you do while you are both in Christ.

Keep your faith a secret and worship in private. If you must pray in public, pray in your head, don't bow your head or fold your hands, and always remember God will never abandon you. He sees you as extraordinarily brave to go against the government and trust in Him.

You need to be able to find faith in Jesus and know it's not just about reading a book, knowing the rules, or acting like a good person. You need to pray and listen. Give the Holy Spirit time to answer you prayers, and know God doesn't move at the same pace as us. Sometimes when we think one thing is right such as a perfect job or what appears to be a great partner ultimately doesn't fall into God's will. It is so easy to try and put your will first, but when you truly let it play out God's will is not only going to have a superior result for you but for those around you.

You do not need money to become a Christian. Being a Christian is about the mindset of your heart, believing in God. With Christianity, it's all about your relationship with you and God. The only thing that you would need to buy is a Bible and many places will give one to you for free. And if you can't get one, then you can always read one online!

Ask Jesus to come into your heart proclaims that you believe in Him or are willing to believe. That's a great first step. Have spiritual discipline: Following the Lord means that you want to turn from worldly ways and start surrendering things to God. Churches, bible studies, reading the bible on your own, hanging out with other Christians that will hold you accountable to right choices and love you through your struggles, these are all good things to do. Build a relationship: Being a Christian means that you have a relationship with Jesus. Just as you would with a dear friend, it is good to plan "hang out" times with God. Ask a Christian friend for more ways to do this.

Which denomination you join should depend on your worldview and whether you agree with the theological position of the denomination you are considering on important issues. Try out some different churches, talk to the priests and do some research to find out which one is for you.

Baptism is symbolic and doesn't save you. If you have repented from your sin and accepted Christ as your savior, you may choose to follow this decision with public baptism.

Evolution does not necessarily disprove the existence of God. Science deals not with metaphysical matters of religion, but rather with the observable nature of the world around us. Just as there are sects of Christianity that deny evolution as incompatible with the faith, there are also many Christians and sects of Christianity that have accepted evolution into their belief systems. You can study these differing interpretations in order to come to an understanding that best suits you.

Yes. If you convert to a Christian and accept Jesus Christ as your savior, he will take care of you no matter what. He will help you through everything that comes across.

Be supportive of her. Make sure that she feels both the presence of you and God in her life. You can also read some of the Bible or a Hindu text together to celebrate this wonderful stage of life.

You don't have to change your name if you want to convert.

Catholicism is a form of Christianity. There is no difference, except that some people make mischief by making out that one isn't the other or that one is superior to the other. Catholicism is just one version of celebrating Christianity in its many forms.

You'll go to heaven when you die, and you'll have peace in your heart while you're alive.

Having a relationship with Jesus is a choice you must make on your own. Fear the Lord, not men! You can't "make" your parents Christian, but if you are truly reborn, they will start to notice changes in your behavior - positive changes. You don't want to live in sin anymore! (It is for freedom's sake that you have been freed!" Gal. 5:1) Make the decision on your own, and then live it. Pray for your parents, because that's how the Holy Spirit works.

If you love God and you want to serve Him, you are a Christian.

Belonging to a religion gives people guidance and community.

Contact churches in your area, if you can find any. If not, check online, there are many websites available with the information you seek.

Find a translation of the Bible online in your native language. You can pray in your native language, since God understands all languages. Pray to Jesus and ask him to reveal himself to you, so that you may give your life to Him. Pray for a Christian friend to help you on your journey. God is faithful.

See if you can access the Bible and read the entire New Testament. Reading God's Word will encourage you and help you to hear His voice. Then, ask God what you should do -- how you should talk to your family about your desire to follow Jesus. God will give you wisdom and courage.

Find a local Catholic church and ask about joining their RCIA classes. They will prepare you to join the church.

That is fine.

Yes, you can convert without your wife. In time she may want to join you.

Some may, but overall no. I'm a Christian, and Christmas is a celebration of Jesus's birthday, and Santa Claus is a part of the celebrating of Christmas, although not so much in the religious sense. He is somewhat linked to Saint Nicholas but very loosely, much like St. Valentine is linked to Valentines Day. Some people say that Santa and Christmas trees have pagan origins, but it's all just in spirit of the holidays and having fun. Christianity itself grew out of many pagan traditions, probably absorbing some. There's no harm in children believing in Santa Claus, nor is it a sin.

No, there is no payment for accepting Christ as your personal savior and becoming part of the Christian faith. The only reward is eternal life. John 3:16 says "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son so that whoever believeth in Him shall have eternal life". There is definitely no payment to us, but there is a large reward.

No, it does not.

Converting for someone else may not be a good idea. But if it sends you on the path of true conversion it may be a good thing. I know many people who been converted by their significant other and have remained strong Christians. If you know for a fact you will never have faith, it would be disrespectful to your boyfriend, to God, and to yourself to convert. But if you want to explore this, you should. Start by attending church with your boyfriend. See how it feels to you.

No, I don't believe so. God instructs us to put Him above all others, including our spouses. Changing religions for your spouse would go against that since you would be putting your spouse above God.

According to many Christian sects, if you're not following Jesus or if you don't believe in Him, then you're definitely not going to heaven. So yes, you would go to Hell. But Jesus doesn't want to put you there. He loves you very much.
