Is this person a Christian?
If yes then no he hasn't.
If no, then he has committed it.

The person thought he was the antichrist (intrusive thoughts tried to convince him) then he thought he was Jesus (again intrusive thoughts). Before this episode, he DID confess Jesus as the son of God and his savior, so on that note I believe he was a Christian and still claims to be...

So what do you think?

Based only on that I would say he is a Christian and because he suffers from an unknown mental illness hence the intrusive thoughts.
There is no way he could have committed the unforgivable sin.
Jesus said he does not quench a smoulding wick.
We fail to understand the depth, reach and passion of Jesus's love for us and even more for the struggling lambs.

If the alleged man thinks he’s God, then he is antichrist...’

Agreed with you there. I'm just trying to figure out how to counsel him.
I did not realize that this is an actual scenario. All you can tell him is"Don't let your imagination run away with you".

Such as? I have more information if you're interested.

This is a very sad soul.
He needs professional help. I haven't found that these types can be 'counselled'...they are already busy listening to the voices that are telling them this stuff.

Bless you...H

Or he is mentally ill.

Here is a challenging question for you.

A mother comes to your church and brings with her, a child who is visible disturbed.
How would your church welcome them and help them?
( by disturbed I mean unable to sit still, violently twiching, makeing strange loud noises and reacting with screeches to loud noises. )
Would people be found to sit with that child, would they be welcomed each week or would they be asked to leave?

I don’t attend church.

You just described today’s church.

Would people be found to sit with that child, would they be welcomed each week or would they be asked to leave?
Maybe Luke 8 would be a good place to start. The one in question is a man.

i'd maybe be careful there, we are called to be elohim too, and you are getting this scenario second-hand, the subject might not have put it that way, or etc. "He thinks he's God" is a cliché, after all.

we may be privy to a convo made more in confidence to a confidant here, wherein one is being a bit more brutally honest than they might normally be in public? After all, most believers are or were doing what was being said anyway, whether they have the stones to admit it or not, me included.
