Q&A for How to Convert from Hinduism to Christianity

No, not necessarily, unless you just felt that conversion was necessary in order to fulfill the commitments of one religion or the other.

No, there is no other religion that believes that Jesus Christ is the risen king. (This is why it's called "Christianity.") The other Abrahamic religions hold Christ in high esteem, but they do not believe he is/was God/the messiah.

No - most churches expect you to tithe if you can afford it, but they shouldn't charge you for conversion. If they do, it's a very big warning sign - find a different church.

No, you do not need any documentation or permission to convert to being a Christian. Just go and see your nearest Christian priest or minister and they will help you. If there isn't a minister, just become friends with someone who is Christian and they can help you.

Someone might want to convert if they prefer the history of Christianity and its beginnings to those of other religions. Someone might feel a deeper connection to Christianity, God, and Jesus than some of the other deities in other religions, or they might enjoy reading the Bible as opposed to other religious texts. There are many reasons why someone might convert, but ultimately it's a personal choice.

Well, just because it's the most ancient surviving religion in the world doesn't mean that it suits everyone. As a matter of fact there were many other religions before Christianity and Judaism. Worshipers of the true God such as Abraham didn't even belong to a religious group. Also, the bible teaches that God is one and that he alone deserves to be worshiped, which is quite different from what is taught in Hinduism. Everyone is free to make their own religious choice.

To go to heaven and be saved, you must confess your sins and believe that Jesus is Lord. You must be a Christian; there is no other way.

Generally, religion and spiritual beliefs are personal. Most likely, changing faiths will not affect or change your poverty, which are related to complex socio-economic circumstances that you'll need to tackle through the system, such as by getting an education or a job. However, if becoming Christian makes you happier, safer, or provides another attribute that will make your life feel better as you struggle to "make it," then by all means consider it.

You won't receive any money for converting. Don't convert to Christianity for money. Only do it if you actually believe it is the faith you wish to follow. If you're obsessed with money, faith is perhaps not foremost in your mind.

Yes it is your choice when you are baptized and confirmed etc. Usually you just can pick it on your own(catholic churches) but some churches might not let you use a saint's name.

You shouldn't have to pay to accept Jesus in your heart. You have to make the decision yourself if you want him or not. The local priests are charlatans and should be reported to consumer affairs authorities.

Actually, there are thousands of "Muslim" Christians. Christian missionaries are active throughout the Islamic world. People who follow Islam can turn to true faith in Christ. It happens every day, even if it is not in the headlines.

A man who converts to Christianity for money is not a true Christian. He is a lover of money, not a lover of Christ. He is ruled by greed, not ruled by the Lord Jesus. Many times, a follower of Jesus experiences ridicule, suffering, and persecution for his faith. The love of Jesus is greater than all these.

Some people living in Islamic regions become Christians. They can learn more about following Christ from other Christians in the community. It is true that it is dangerous to be a Christian in some communities. Christians try to keep the dangers minimal, but security can only come when the persecution of converts is ended. Jesus empowers Christians to live in Truth even while their lives are threatened.
