Are you driven by Faith or Infuence?

i never change my religion ever since. its because i already experience a lot of miracles from god just in my religion alone. every time i need him i just pray and ask for help then all of a sudden someone offer help to me though i know it might not be god directly but he uses other people to help us. its not about religion, what matter is our love and belief to god. as god didnt say what religion he will just going to save or listen but he said he will save those who love and believe in him. so believing and loving in god is already enough no need to change religion.

I was to a baptist , my dad and a agnostic, my mom. By the time I was born neither went to church. We celebrated Christmas but it was more secular than religious. When I was about 13 I fell for Judaism. I have been practicing for 21 years now. For me I found a religion that fits me. That answers my questions. That welcomes my questions.Is there a better religion? I see it this way , there are many paths , one must find their own path and be faithful.

Hi, primeaque86. I am usually driven by influence at first. But then I will secretly go to God and talk with him about my desire. And if I really want it to happen for me, I will just believe and trust that God will fulfill my desire. Some people change their religion because of personal reasons. They probably could have burned in the church. And, from that they only trust certain people. This made their religion take a decline and they just stop attending church and they also don't believe in God as they used to either.

it is not religion that anyone would be saved but through our faith. but i must say that i was influenced by faith to change religion. i have seen more of against my faith from the religion i was born with so i changed when i believed there is one religion that will guide my faith through salvacion.

Do you really need religion to find God?? Do you really know any religion that understands God? Why is it when people decide to find God that they get someone like religion to help them?? Is religion more about being social??? I am never driven by faith or influence. I am driven by the need to know and discover the real truth.

religion is a more personal matter. everyone has his or her own belief, and many religious organizations came into existence because of these beliefs. there are many reasons why one changes his or her religioun from one after the other. it can be both by influence or by faith. By influence, my cousin changed his religion because of a girl. if he will not change religion, then the girl will not accept him :-). By faith, my friend moved out from one church to this church because based on his personal bible readings the new church he is in now is more biblical than the other.
