I'd like to think that. I was never in prison, but in my younger days ( 18 years ago) I did get arrested and go to jail a couple times. I can tell you I didn't go because of anything I believed in. I went because I did wrond and, well...was arrested. By the way...I haven't been in any kind of trouble since then. That was a bad experience. I can't imagine a prolonged prison sentence. Like I said: I'd like to think I'm the kind of person that would be willing to be imprisioned for my beliefs. Honestly, though, I can't answer this question (honestly) until I find myself in this circumstance. Lord give me the strength to stand up for You, should it come to that. I hope I never have to put my faith to the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been faced with this question when bringing bibles to a country where it's illegal to do so. When I told the pastor I wanted to do this, he asked me, "Do you understand that if you go, you might not come back?" I understood and was willing to take the risk, but he made sure I understood I could be imprisoned, tortured, and/or killed. By the grace of God I walked through the lion's den safely and the Bibles were delivered. A pastor was arrested for Xth time the day I left and the week prior to my trip 3 missionaries were beheaded (I did not know this at the time but would have gone anyway as I knew God called me to do this and was in His hands regardless). I would do it again in a heartbeat if God called me to it. Had I been caught and threatened with prison, torture, or death if I didn't deny what I believe? I believe God would have given me the strength to stand as He has for many throughout history. The real question is whether we are willing to daily live for Him.
