Are You Just Another Fake Christian pretending to be a true Christian?
If you are a true Christian and not a fake Christian,
explain to me what exactly it is about you that differentiates you
from any of the fake Christians.

Because God has convinced me through His spirit that I am His, and has drastically changed my life and heart from who I was to who I am now. I see the work of the Spirit in my life making me more loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, and faithful, and the Word of God does not in the slightest repel me away, as the Scriptures say they will for the non believer.

But this is besides the point. With the exception of a person claiming verifiable heresy against God, no one has any right to tell someone they are or are not a Christian. We can tell them that their expressed post [something they said.] was not Christian, but we cannot tell others they are not Christians because they don't live up to our standards.

Why are you looking for another fake Christian? Do you need company?

Right. Being a doctrinal heretic does not mean one is necessarily lost. However, belief in a false Christ is not salvific.

Omg i am agreeing with both of you guys wow :)
Well not loving mjh's self- testimony but wth, i gave you a like mjh bc "but we cannot tell others they are not Christians because they don't live up to our standards." The rest I could debate. And Solo Dei Gloria just...gives me the willies, sorry. I mean the words are great, but what they stand for, yikes?
Why are you looking for another fake Christian? Do you need company?
Ah if that is the case then i am pretty much a fake Christian i guess, but even so i would not be testifying of myself in order to prove otherwise unless i was called to account...k which i guess maybe i am? Am i being called to account here?

hmm, well that's certainly um bold i guess, but wadr (with all due respect) you are not ezackly asking me why i have the confident expectation that i do, and you are asking me to testify of myself, my testimony is invalid see so maybe a rephrase of your Q, if you like

Why don't you just talk to me
here I am.
Time consuming.

Matthew 12:37
For by thy words thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

As you can see I cannot condemn anyone.
Only they can condemn themselves.
So maybe you should say
have any of you condemned your own selves with your own words yet?
Why do you tempt?

Aren't you a bible teacher and shouldn't you know these things?
I knew where this was going from your first post. Nothing edifying.

I do not think God sent me to post here on this forum.I will

I know He sent me.

He even tells me what to say to you.

This somehow leads me to wonder if you are of the belief that when you turn left instead of right or, "decide" to NOT run a stale yellow light, it has all been pre -programmed - within you that , your choice in that matter, was already decided without any conscious consent of your own. Did He not give each one of us unique personalities? I would say He did.

Ahahaha...that was pretty witty BL :D

Do you see anything edifying here in anything you have said to me?
Even though you are tempting me to say something evil to you
I will not fall for it. How did I waste or consume any of your time? I did not make you read what I posted
and I did not make you post anything on the forum and I did not make you reply to anything I posted.

I am not taken by surprised
that you said this to me.

But since you asked
I will tell you
using you
as the example
so as you can really understand it.

Get you a piece of paper and a pen.
Then make a lists of all the things that God does for you
everyday of your life.

Then make a lists of all the things you do for God
everyday of your life.

Then compare them.

By that time you should have a somewhat
clear understanding of my definition
of a Lip Service Christian.

Look, YOU invoked the TERM "FAKE CHRISTIAN"...

I am not a mind reader, as to what YOU THINK or SAY.

Seems AS IF you are saying, according to you, A FAKE CHRISTIAN, is one who DOES NOT "DO WORKS", that are up to your "STANDARD", tit for tat, of Seeing what the Lord has done for an individual and the individual should keep up to comparison of the Lord....or otherwise they are seemingly according to you...A FAKE CHrIStIAN...

If so, then the anwer to my question TO YOU, would be, simple...
You believe a FAKE CHRISTIAN is one who does not keep up doing Works for the Lord in comparison to what the Lord does for the Individual....Correct?

If your phrase "FAKE CHRISTIAN" is not based on "WORKS" of the individual...

Then please try again to Define your phrase;
FAKE Christian.

Glory to God,

It appears AS IF you think a "FAKE CHRISTIAN" is some sort of Christian...
(Maybe a follower just learning...Maybe a Converted Christian IN Christ....who knows what YOU THINK, less you are ABLE to reveal it)...

Seems AS IF you are saying, according to you, A FAKE CHRISTIAN, is one who DOES NOT "DO WORKS", that are up to your "STANDARD", tit for tat, of Seeing what the Lord has done for an individual and the individual should keep up to comparison of the Lord....or otherwise they are seemingly according to you...A FAKE CHrIStIAN...

I take it that you did not like my definition.
There again I am not taken by surprise of it.

So since you rejected my definition I will give you another one.

Matthew 15:8
This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth,
and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Hence the term

" Lip Service Christians "

You gave no definition.

You Suggested a lesson in comparing my works with the Lords words.

If you are going to make up a PHRASE and present a PHRASE, least you could do is DEFINE what the PHRASE means, that you have made up.

If you are incapable of defining what YOU MEAN, then why would you expect others to GUESS what you mean and respond to you based on a guess?

Stop avoiding and define;

WHAT exactly do you mean ... by your phrase, "FAKE CHRISTIAN" ?
