Thank you for your comment. I am aware of what the definition of Christian is.
Just saying.
I would like to clarify somewhat however.............Christians are believers in AND followers of Christ. As such, they believe He is who He says He is, and they FOLLOW the Gospel He gave to His Church. The description of your Congregation troubles me more than a little, however, as I am not part of or party to your specific ideology/theological beliefs, it is not for me to criticize. My Congregation has two classes of people. Those who are believers in and disciples of Christ, and those who have not yet accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. Every Congregation has unsaved members, even if they do not want to admit it, such people are there in attendance. Among those who profess Christ, there are Saved and not yet Sanctified, and Sanctified Believers. Not all believers in a Congregation may be Sanctified.......meaning having been laid hands on and prayed over by the Elders of the Congregation and receiving the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.
I do not know if your Congregation recognizes and teaches the Divinity of Christ and/or the Holy Trinity or not, but, this too, is required of a Christian Congregation. Even though there are those here who disagree, my Congregation stands fast on the belief that only those Church Congregations that believe in and teach the Divinity of Christ and the Holy Trinity are truly Christians.............anyway, thank you for the information.
