Why might you imagine that you would benefit in an earthly sense, when others call you Christian?I was born into a Fundamentalist Christian family. I raised my children in a Christian home. I was the Chairman of Deacons in a medium sized Southern Baptist Church. I was even a Bible teacher in a Christian School for a year and a half.
I’m not sure what to tell you. By some people’s definition I am a Christian. I’m heavily indoctrinated, extremely familiar with the culture, and I love Christian people. It’s the logic that is lacking. I think every Christian deep down knows the truth.
Nobody in this thread has been able to tell me how I benefit if one person calls me a Christian or one person calls me a nonChristian.
How do you conduct an investigation into whether someone is a Christian or not?
Try dying to self. So powerful. So beneficial.
Don’t you think that arguing over things that don’t matter is stupid?I agree with that but that does not require a person to be identified as a Christian by other people’s standard.

And to merely call ones self Christian for earthly gain is the very definition of taking the Lord's name in vain. And it is a sin that can produce no fruit.
Why would you care one way or another?So should I ignore people that say, “you are not a Christian if…..”. “You must not be a real Christian because….” so on and so forth?
That's up to you.So should I ignore people that say, “you are not a Christian if…..”. “You must not be a real Christian because….” so on and so forth?

But that’s not what you believe, now is it?Well. Since the claim is that I will either live in eternal bliss or eternal torture, then I would say that it matters a great deal.
I prefer the eternal bliss to the eternal torture but I just can’t figure out which one I get.
Your fate in that regard is not contingent upon man's assessment of your faith.Well. Since the claim is that I will either live in eternal bliss or eternal torture, then I would say that it matters a great deal.

Have to wait, and see. But in the meantime... What is one doing today, to ensure the best possible outcome for tomorrow?Then how do you know if it will be alright or not.
In truth you are the person who must decide whether you are Christian. You say you were brought up in Fundamentalist Christianity and then carried on as an adult working within this. I think that something you possibly could do is look at the many different kinds of Christianity there are in the US. I believe there are some more gentle sects. You might discover they suit you more but whether you are a Christian or not is something you need to decide/know for yourself.I was born into a Fundamentalist Christian family.

I see no hate or hysteria in his post.That's how the demons perceive God and those He has called.
Your hysteria and hate will win you no followers
But the game you are playing is based upon what you believe.The truth is not dependent on what I believe.
But the game you are playing is based upon what you believe.
You don’t believe in God. You don’t believe in Satan. You don’t believe in heaven or hell.
So why does it matter to you what others might believe?

Because you aren’t being genuine. You’re playing a game. It’s kind of fucked up.Why does it have to be about me? There are others reading this thread. We need to let all the people in here know the rules for deciding whether they are Christian or not
