Some people, like the Catholics for instance, believe they are born again when they are baptised as infants. This is wrong teaching. You can only be born spiritually (be born again) when you see your need for Jesus and respond to his call. Now surely people will know if they've done that or not. Although there are those who say they are born again and we can't always tell for sure - but God can. My pastor friend Bob says that you can tell a wolf in sheep's clothing from their footprints.
It is too late for me to post tonight .
and my goodness , I’d forgotten all about this old thread , I’ll have to reread it from the beginning...
I must admit then when I sometimes read old posts that I’ve put up...I sometimes scratch my head and say ,’ did I write that !! ‘ ha! So I’ll look back in here tomorrow .
goodnight from me for now...
I am surprised that this thread has gotten this far.
Did not know that it was that hard a question.
When is a Christian not a Christian?
Can anyone know?
Is anyone qualified to determine?
Is it a matter of an individual's belief?
Can we tell by their fruits? But can their fruits change? Or do they die rotten?
I try to stay away from such decisions saying, it is above my paygrade.
But does it matter if you are a Christian or not, if you do not make it to heaven?
It does not matter how sweet you are, sweet does not get you to heaven.
If you are a sweet person that preaches that Yeshua is not a God or that you can sin all you want and still go to heaven, what are the ramifications? Not just for yourself. You may be practically sinless.
What happens to the people that believe you? If they do not make it to heaven because of what you preached, are those damned souls held against you? As they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Are sweet Christians going to be screaming for eternity because they caused others to go to hell?
Is OSAS and this new denomination effectively handing out licenses to sin, with an exclusive reservation in hell?
What is Christ going to think of all that?
