I want to become a Muslim but since I was raised as a Christian some of my friends say I will go to hell because if I do convert that means I am denying Jesus. Please help me.

Your friends have misguided you. By not accepting Islam, you will be denying
Jesus and his correct position. As a Muslim, belief in Jesus (Eesa - may the
everlasting peace be upon him) is an integral article of our faith. A person
cannot be a Muslim without believing in Jesus as one the greatest and
holiest prophets of God.

And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
