Seeing as I'm a Lutheran, I believe I've been a Christian since I was baptized as a newborn. So that makes it 25, close to 26 years now.

I don't know. I was raised Christian and considered myself to be a pretty staunch Christian but I did not realize until age 20 that Christianity required a change in lifestyle. So 10 years or so if you count that as the beginning."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard RavenhillComment

Me too - I was practically born in Church*, from a Christian home, but didn't realize that I didn't actually have a "personal relationship**" with Christ until about that same age.Originally posted by KingsGambit View Post
*reminds me of the line "If a cat crawled into an oven and gave birth to kittens, would you call them 'muffins'"?
**I realize some here hate that expression, but I simply mean that my relationship to Christ - prior to this - was based on the fact that my Dad was a deacon, my brother was a preacher, I attended Church, etc.... I don't think I had made a genuine confession of faith where I really "meant business" prior to thatThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.Comment

How long you've been saved.Originally posted by Christianbookworm View Post
I'm not trying to assume anything, just noting a tendency in myself to feel proud about how long I've been a Christian which I need to squash when it comes up. I don't think I'm alone in that.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

true, except why aren't all the Christians who have been Christians for many decades mature? Years plainly do not correlate with maturity.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!Comment
