Growing up around Christians or even going to church on a regular basis does not instantly make someone a Christian. Knowing God is not at all like joining a cell phone company. God does not offer a "family share plan". He does not let us tag along and get "free minutes" just because our parents or grandparents have already paid for it. (or lived it). God wants us to choose for ourselves to serve Him, not because of our who are parents or friends are. He wants us to choose Him because we WANT to!
JOSHUA 24:15 "Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve."
Know Whom you believe in and why ... because there will be no piggy back riding into heaven!
and this has been a piece of my heart today;

Powerful my friend.
I love the "family share plan" that is a great analogy!
When I was young, I had the misguided notion that since the majority of my family were Christians, my "holy genes" would guarantee a place in heaven for me...well, God convicted me of that right quickly, and I have since tried to share with others...like you have here...that it just doesn't work that way...I loved your cell phone analogy!
