How to bring someone to Jesus

[DenisV]

Hi, I am a christian male (born again) and I have found myself in a bit of a situation. I have a girlfriend, who I work with, who was not christian, but the other week, when an alter call was made she put her hand up to accept Jesus. She was prayed for and I think she said the sinners prayer. The problem is that she was involved in various spiritual practices prior, and has studied different relegions, and I don't think she truly believes that Jesus is who he is. I really like this girl and she says she really likes me too, but it doesn't seem like she is really trying to find Jesus. Im trying to keep this as short as possible, and am looking for advice as to how to go from here.
If you need/ want any other details about my situation, please ask me and I will provide what I can.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Dennis and welcome. Just a point, you use the word think a lot in your post Where someones confessions , repentance and conversion and salvation is concerned, we can't afford to work on if's but's maybe's and think's. So maybe you should sit down and talk to your girl about the issues you've raised and see what her reply is. Maybe after trying all the false gods and religions, through meeting you and seeing the joy of being bathed in his saving light, she has found the One and Only True God and has finally opened her heart to Him.
The alternatives are that a) she really likes you and just went through all the ceremony to please you (flattering, but a lost cause) b) she's spent her life experimenting with the others and thought "Hey why not give this a go too" c) She is still under the influence of the false gods and is trying to infiltrate your church to destroy it from within.
Sorry to be blunt and it's only my take on it, but that is what I'd do.
Blessings Dennis

Hi,

That is great that you are concerned for your friend and want her to find the right way toward Christianity. I found this today and maybe it will help..

Hear the gospel: John 20:30-31 Romans 10:17

Believe: Rom 1:16, Acts 18:8, Heb 11:6

Repent: Luke 13:3, Luke 24:47, Acts 3:19, Acts 17:30

Confess Faith in Christ: Romans 10:9-10, Acts 8:37

Be Baptized: Matt 28:19, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, Acts 10:47-48, Acts 22:16, Romans 6:1-6, Gal 3:27, Col 2:12, 1 Peter 3:21.

Be Faithful Unto and Until Death: Matthew 25:21, 2 Peter 1:1-11, Rev 2:10.

My take is that she'll need discipling. You may want to get her into a woman's bible study at your church or somewhere locally. She needs people to help her through studying and applying the faith. The "conversion" could have just been emotional, perhaps done because she's been searching for meaning all these years.

I don't see the word 'love' anywhere in your question.

You appear simply to be seeking an explanation of someone else's thoughts. No matter how hard you try, you can never know what someone else thinks and feels. You can only know how they act and what they say.

Are you decided already that you would not be 'unevenly yoked' (Cor: 6:14) or are you open to relationships with people with different beliefs? If you are 'open', what do her beliefs matter?

If you are concerned, just keep in mind that you can never know her mind for sure and you would have to take her word for her beliefs knowing that she may change her mind again - but so may anyone.

If I were you, I would travel hopefully and judge her by her actions, not by her words. :twolove

I'm sure you've heard this old saying; "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." ....and the reason you can't make him drink is that you can't convince him he's thirsty.

Be careful who you marry, but don't be eager to find fault in her.
