    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    Ha, I thought there was no more debate after 325 AD.:D..I mean it...that there was no question... what they said was a Christian, was a Christian, period. It is only now lately I have found out modern Christians think differently! That's ok...it's just news to me. It's also interesting the diff...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    Philip James could you read this again: "I don't want to seem I'm talking behind anyone's back, but then why didn't he say that? If it is about baptism...I was not baptized until I myself...no community or mothers or fathers, no relatives...NO support, just the opposite... got Baptized as a...

    RE:Have you such little trust in the faith of your fathers and mothers and the community that asked the gift of Faith for you? Perhaps HE was with you all this time and that Faith finally flowered...~Phillip James to Miss H I don't want to seem I'm talking behind anyone's back, but then why...

    RE: ''BUT, I was not Born Again at that time...nor Baptized in the Holy Spirit, either...''-Miss Hepburn I have no idea what this means. Hi @aspen, long time :)...but, why did you like this, it's the only reason why I didn't pass over it...care to explain what on earth it means? And God is...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    Thanks all of you for posting with me. xo :) I would like to comment that I never knew that there are people that think a Christian must be Born Again...(I am)... but I was not always...and I was plenty Christian and back then I did believe in every single word of the Nicene Creed... probably...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    Hi Pearl, What you said seems simple to me....:) Yet, a Hindu could acknowledge the need for God's love and also a Muslim...so acknowledging grace and forgiveness thru Jesus... that would be very particularly Christian! (Bear with me, gosh, I feel like I'm grilling nice people!) What if a person...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    :) You're asking 'me'...that is above my pay grade, my friend! LOL. But, I don't label people ..they call themselves what they will....atheist, Buddhist-whatever. But, if you are asking ''what if '' questions...I'd say that person would be quite lucky !! ;)

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    I do not disagree , exactly... But may I ask ...how do you know God the Father...would have a name such as 'Christian' for us? And where is it that God says to be a Christian you must be born again? Yes, a person needs to be Born again as Jesus said to enter the Kingdom, that is not in...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    So what is your opinion of the Nicene Creed and /or the Council that was set up ...Christian's declaring what a Christian was? "This is a Christian." Toss it out the window, ignore it? Thanks. Oh, John1:12 talks about being a child of God...nothing about being a Christian. Am I making you crazy...

    When is a christian NOT a Christian?

    HI, :) I still think it is belief in the Nicene Creed 100%, I know, I'm one of the only ones ... makes no difference if a person is the best person ever ...if you don't believe every word in that you are not considered a Christian by the Christian Standard that was written ...that is what has...

    Wait ... listen to what you wrote, my friend..He is in control of everything...yet, He does not cause anyone to sin... Now which is it? See what I mean? ;) Now I dunno if He is 'control'...but everything has it's being within Him...that's how I would say it anyway. Take care.
