(please Christians only) What makes you a Christian? (please Christians only.)


  • Ppps: I don't mean to be rude or unpleasant but if you're not a Christian and still answer to this make sure your comment has respect in it. Woe to you in Jesus Christ name if you're disrespectful

    Do say you're a Christian because you go to church?
    Or because Daddy and mummy say they're Christians so it's same for you?
    Or because you have personally tested the waters?

    I don't go to church but I am a Christian because I believe in God in the holy Trinity. The Father the Son and the Holy Ghost..
    Christian because I believe Jesus Christ is my saviour and died for my sin's.


  • Personally tested the waters :) ... I mean everybody should go test those waters themselves, because being a member of a church or participating in liturgy does not get you into heaven and literally every church says that too!

    But I'm not a fan of individualistic christianity either, for Christ clearly wants unity, a outwardly visible unity among all those who believe in the triune God:

    Jn 17:22-24: And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are on: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

    How would "the world" see the unity of those who believe, if they are not part of some community that is visible too?

    Being Christian is more than believing that God is triune, more than following any liturgy, more than helping your neighbour. Being christian means loving God, giving Him all, for He is giving you all: Himself. And you do so by doing His will, which is Love's will, which is to love God and thy neighbour and thyself. Which is too, to be in unity with the other christians, and not sneer at each other's speciality but share your wealth of liturgy, of community, of love of scripture, of spiritual gifts, of charity...


  • @Kaneki-kun I personally tested the waters. I think that everyone should try out a religion at least once in their lives :)

    @wet-teri there's been a lot of work God did in my life between today and the day of this post. And so based on the wisdom that The Lord has revealed to me between this time i want to bring some lights <<photizo>> to your reply and I pray in Jesus name you'll understand.

    James 2:19: <<You believe that there is one God; well done: the devils also believe, and tremble.>>
    You can automatically see from this verse that believing is a good thing but it doesn't set you apart; WHY? because demons also believe in God. They believe in Jesus and they tremble at the mention of His Holy Name Philippians 2:10.
    <<So if believing alone doesn't make someone a Christian, whats makes someone a Christian?>>: You may ask. Well, let's see what God throught His Word has to say about this.

    1. Being Born Again:
      OurLord Jesus-Christ said: <<verily, verily, I say unto you, Unless a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit John3:5-6>>. So to be a Christian (follower of Christ) you Must be Born Again.

    2. Being Holy and Set Apart:

    • The Lord through the 2nd letter of Paul to Timothy said: <<Let anyone who confesses the name of the Lord depart from iniquity>>.
      One may ask:<<What does depart from iniquity means?>> Well The LORD answers that;
      • in 2nd Chronicles 7.14 as << to turn from our wicked ways>>,
      • in Luke 13:5 as to repent <<.... unless you repent, you too will all perish.>>,
      • in Romans 6:6 as turning away from sin <<...henceforth we should not serve sin>>
      • in Romans 13:14 as putting on the LORD JESUS <<clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop paying attention to your Sinful Nature and Satisfying its desires.>> and finally
      • in Ephesians 4:22 as killing fleshy desires <<... put Off your Old Self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds. ...And to put on the New Self, created to be like God in True Righteousness and Holiness>>
    1. Sanctified with the Spirit and Blood of Jesus-Christ:
      1Peter 1:2 says <<...choosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through Sanctification of the Spirit, unto Obedience and Sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ>> . So from this scripture God is telling us a True Christian like the Apostle Peter is one who is sanctified through the Holy Spirit and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus to Obey Jesus, His teachings and Commandments. John 14:15 The LORD says: <<If you Love Me Obey My commandments.
      And some of His Commandments are:
      • Be Holy;
      • LOVE GOD WITH ALL YOU HEART, MIND AND SOUL
      • Love One another as I have Loved You;
      • Go OUT into the World and PREACH the Gospel;
      • Heal the sick, Help for the Needy; Set the demonic captives free;
      • Bless those who Persecute you; Love and Pray your Ennemies;
      • Pray for one another; Depart From ALL iniquity;
      • In ALL you do Glorify and Give Thanks to YHWH

    so @wet-teri in short that above is what defines Chrstians by what GOD says through His WORD. Just Going to Church or Just believing doesn't make anyone a Christian. It only makes them believers not practionals, but i'd Love to believe you're Exercising and putting it into practice according to GOD's WORD and STANDARDS.

    So feel free to reply to this Topic Again Based on the points above
    thank you


  • I just have faith that someone had to have a hand in all this. Even Drs are guided by him. So people still get fixed or healed in hospitals(51 days in a hospital) but I believe God or Jesus was in the operating rooms when I was guiding their hands.

    Beloved I'm really happy to hear this testimony. Personally it proves to me that my Father is still restlessly deliverying on His promises. Watching on His Word as He says.
    You know some people might read this and judge us as delusional, some others foolish and some other crazy. But it's your experience if you felt the Lord working on your body and no one can take it regardless of what they say, think or believe.

    IDrK but if you need some Help, Have some questions regarding the LORD or the Christian Faith I'd be glad to help.
    Aslo Jesus is God and God is Jesus, there's no division between them nor are they 2 different person. It's the same Person but with 3 different essences, just Like You and Me. We are humans and also have 3 different essences: Spirit, Soul and Body. And we're like that because We are created in the Image of the Most High, who also is 3 as 1.

    God is a multiplier not an additional. So 1x1x1=1, three 1s giving 1. And in case you want I can show based on the bible God is a multiplier


  • Glory be to God. King of kings, lord of lords.
