Five reasons why you aren't a "true" Christian - Are you toast?

New topic:

The Worship Experience - Corporate and Individual - Loud and Quiet

The corporate worship at my church is loud. (the way I like it) Other churches are much quieter. The worship is also very physical. Raised hands and swaying to the music is common. Clapping hands and shouts of hallelujah. Also quieter moments seeking to hear God's voice. Individual worship...

1) You have the right doctrine and can prove it. - YES or NO?

Paul's doctrine is the Church Doctrine.
So, if you have that in its entirety as your core foundational theology, then you are in God's will, in that regard.
If not, then you're not.

2) You read your Bible and pray for one hour every day. - YES or NO?

Prayer is best when you are in conversation with God, all during the day, in your head.

Whereas if you try to schedule it, you are setting a time limit on God.
Who does that, who really loves God?

"well God, i'll give you an hour a day, just as soon as im finished giving Netflix 5 hours every day, and christianity board 5 hours".

Reader......Prayer is conversation with God, where you and God share with each other.

Talk to God like He's your best friend, because He's even more...>He's your Heavenly Father, if you are born again.
If you are not, then He's your eternal Judge.

John 3:36

3) You are winning souls for Christ every week. - YES or NO?

Soul winning is multifacited.
I endevor to do it every day.

4) You never miss a church service. - YES or NO?

Being faithful to be a part of your local church assembly, is good discipline.
If the person has a family.....then that can sometimes prevent a member from showing up, as sometimes the Kids have the Flu.
Whereas if you are a part of the Church Leadership, then the motto is....>>"crawl in, don't call in".

5) You give financially to the church WAY beyond your means. - YES or NO?

The Church is not the building....its the born again believers who are in it.
So, if you tithe and give offerings to support the continuation of your local assembly, then that is the right thing to do, every week.
If you give to the poor, or into the work of a missionary, or to support some situation like the "International fellowship of Christians and Jews"....then its all the same..
We are told to "give cheerfully", but if you dont, its still giving and it still counts.

Why limit yourself to something?
Just do whatever you like.
I don't like to put myself in a group. It limits the way I think.
Things should be like this, and things should be like that.
The church has no vitality. It doesn't appeal to me. I focus more on the issues of faith that I want to focus on.

Ecclesiastes 12:8
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

Can you show these requirements from scripture? Your list looks like some man made concoction for self righteousness. I submit you can do all of those things and still be "toast"

Do you have the freedom to openly worship and fellowship with other believers where you live?

Yes, it is a man made list.

God does not save a sinner so that they can do something for Him, as the main reason.
He saves a sinner because God "so loved the world that He gave Jesus".

Are the churches controlled by the government?

Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
