History
Motivations for conversion | | The neutrality of this section is disputed.
Please see the discussion on the talk page. | In the third world, missionaries are accused of disguised in charity to spread Christian faith. When comforted with this, the missionaries say they involved in charity out of love for the people and to help them.

The main motivation for missionaries is spreading the faith that has reshaped their lives with others.
Those that doubt the reasons for missionaries to spread the Christian faith do not have a grip on the true motives. If you believe the tenets of Christianity, as laid out in the Bible, all Christians are called to minister and help those around them. What greater help could they offer, than the eternal life that they believe is given to all those who accept Jesus Christ.
Requirements According to the Christian faith, the requirements to become a Christian are to obey the gospel as follows:
1. Hear the gospel (good news: death, burial & resurrection of Jesus).
2. Believe the gospel
3. Repent of past sins.
4. Confess that Jesus is the Son of God.
5. Be baptized for the remission of sins.
6. Live a faithful Christian life (forsaking the pre-conversion manner of life).
Numbers 5 and 6 above are not considered essential to salvation by many Protastant denominations.
