What is "believing"?? Is it just saying in heart "Jesus is the lord", or is there something else in it? I wonder why Christians baptize, speak in tongues, pour oil on their head, confess their sins, observe sabbath, holy communion, go to church every sunday. Is not all these "works". an "act"? I don't do all these "works". Do you?
one is either of the flesh or Spirit of God, born again in God's Spirit

Everybody are true Christians if they believe what the scripture says, and avoid what the churches teach. I have learned a lot of things after joining christianchat. I have learned a lot of truths from ur posts in " Questions about salvation and the Holy spirit". i don't mark myself to be the true christian. I wish i cud become one. I wish i cud be the chosen one. I live with a hope. that's it.

None of us have it all right. What i have understood is that no mortals will be ever able to understand the truth completely. bacause we are still in the flesh. I do alot of mistakes brother. I sometimes dont understand it. But i never forget to ask God. I ask him to show me the right thing. Churches doesnt teach that.

Knowing the complete truth doesn't make us a true christian i believe. Trying to walk in the path of Jesus Christ, accepting the chastisement of God, following the commandments of the apostles does.

God bless you. i know you love God too...you care, that is why u joined this site and started sharing the word of God:)
It is a growth into God, just as an apple when born in and through the tree branch is.
For the Apple when first born on the tree branch is a perfect apple is it not?
What is the problem? It is not yet matured and ripe yet. So maybe this be why we are to trust in the living God? To do what? grow us in and unto maturity.
Hebrews 5:10-6:6, if God will permit and we are ready for this mature, perfection found in God through Christ's resurrection. there is no more forgiveness from God to be executed from God to any of us, it is done. Christ is not coming back to hang again on a tree for the sins of the world this is done.
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

I personally don't consider believing in Jesus to have anything to do with even knowing the man walked the earth, or having heard His spoken name.

I believe it has to do with trying to live the way He did, and many people find this without ever hearing the story.
And many people read the story till their eyes bleed and only care about pushing their way to the front of an afterlife.

.
I believe there is truth to your line of thinking If they have batism of the holy spirit,


1 john 2:26 i am writing this to you about those who are trying to decieve you.
but as for you christ has poured out his spirit on you.
As long as his spirit remains in you.
you do not need anyone to teach you. For his spirit teaches you about everything and what he teaches is true, not false.
Obey the spirits teachings, then and stay in union with christ.
yes my children remain in union with him so that when he apears we may be full of courage and need not hide in shame from him on the day he comes.
You do know that christ is righteous; You should know then, that everyone who does what is is right is gods child.

ALSO i would like to say thankyou Sanashankar for this thread, nice thread and some wonderful scriptures, thankyou for sharing

I wonder why you are so much against churches.
Well, let's learn from each other and pray that God continues to reveal his word to us.

Dear sister Sana,
Would just like to add that although I do not agree with your interpretation of the scriptures, I am still praying that God opens my eyes if I am missing something. I am taking the matter up with God directly (what a privilege we have through Jesus). That's the best thing all of us can do.
