However, I became a follower of Jesus at age eleven. That makes me a Christian.

How did you do that??/....just a question, answer if you want to.

I recognized I was a sinner after talking with my pastor. He explained that only Jesus could forgive my sins. He explained how sin has separated us from Christ and that only His blood can cleanse us of all sins.

He explained of the need to repent, believe and follow up in baptism. I said I wanted to do that.

I repented (Acts 2:38) and began believing (John 3:16) in Him. This was followed up in baptism (Acts 2:38).

I continue to grow and mature as a believer. I think I've moved on from milk to solid food as a believer. Still a lot of growing to do.

I owe my eternal life to Him and Him alone.
