Where does becoming a "follower" begin? Is it at the time of acceptance of Jesus, or could it be later, or earlier? I'm not quite sure, but I do know that God requires us to FOLLOW HIM. How we do that is different for each person as He has multifaceted paths for each of us-no two people are the same.
I do know He does NOT:
require us to "shun" our family
listen ONLY to the "leader" of our church
read ONLY books written by a "certain" group of people
argue with people about religious beliefs
We are not convicted by someone else's beliefs, nor are we to follow a "person" who says he is Jesus Incarnate. We must have a PERSONAL, MENTAL, and SPIRITUAL relationship with God. Prayer, Bible Study, The Holy Spirit, and having an "Open Heart" to God's leadings, are all things we must nuture in order to get stronger in our beliefs and have a closer, more personal relationship to God.
God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are on call 24/7.
