A person becomes a Christian because of grace that saves them through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ death, burial, and resurrection. "Christian", the word should be a verb because it is one who is following or follows Christ. That becomes self-evident to all who see his life as it is lived before the world.
I know this when i received the Holy Spirit i don't believe much really if i say i believe im lieing a bit

The anointing is The Holy Spirit don't leave Him out it is most important Anointed little kings is Christian. I know no other way! but by my Spirit says the Lord
chistian is anointed By God Holy spirit that why jesus was called The Christ,
The Anointed. The Messiah
 
Simple question. Didn't want to confuse the Bible scholars
So let's hear man speak their gospel or
better yet let's Hear the Gospel of The Anointed keep To the Thread .
What makes a Christian a Christian?
John 3:16,17 For God so loved the world that He gave His one only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Accepting His sacrifice, submitting to His kingship and walking in His love
 
Exactly but you Also said Christ is An English word
.IAm waiting on The king return ,
so He Alone has the Anointing to give and Gave. Time to know only jews are waiting on the Messiah. They don't know he came and gone and is Seated as king High Priest and Has the Anointing But Know what the Anointing is, i still see nobody focus on Him and they use his title and frawn on The Authority .
there u go C hristian altered faiths .nothing Inside
My question is this. Why is this tangent so important to you? Spiritual growth only comes through Holy Spirit. Repeating the same statement again and again does not produce growth. Jesus is Lord, Holy Spirit is the seal on our heart. Focusing on one aspect of who Jesus is ir how He is seen is not only limiting but distracting. He is, and we will never understand all their is to know about Him while we are on this earth We can just look forward to the good stuff that's coming. ,,🙂
 
The problem I struggle with is how the world defines "Christian". Most will define it by association with a denominational church. For that reason I do not identify myself as Christian. I once answered Natzarim but that caused all sorts of problems. "Grafted In" doesn't work much better. I guess I'm having a full-blown identity crisis!
I just go with Blood bought, born again child of God

I also have been struggling and praying about what makes a person saved, and I received the insight that God's requirement for salvation (the kerygma) can be compared to a fractal design, which is a geometric pattern where a shape repeats itself, so that if you zoom in on a fractal forever, you always see the same design. What is the soteriological shape/fractal in the divine design/plan? God's Love (1John 4:7-16).

Jesus implied that a child too young to know Scripture can be saved (Matt. 19:14), and Paul indicated every sinner who has ever lived has no excuse for not reflecting the Creator's good/loving nature (Rom. 1:20, 2:6-11, 5:5). This kerygmatic truth is the fractal fact all on CC who are saved agree on, no matter which aspect of the hippo/design they see from where they are.
(The devil is in the details/didache.)

Well Since our meanings seem to be at cross purposes I will just continue to trust Jesus and His Word and let Him lead me. In Him we live and move and have our being, so I would say I am in good hands. Have a good day.

Didn't leave Him out :) The Holy Spirit as i understand doesn't anoint a person who is not saved, to see their need for Christ. He convicts them of their sin which brings a godly sorrow . 2Cor 7:10

Yes, and them includes all sinners per Rom. 1:20, 2:6-15 & 8:9.

Many Believe, with always a Big But. Many dont want the Holy Spirit this is The Christ ,but not as they want thread is to this .
is the Holy Spirit The Christ in You?
if its a tangent then why did jesus make sure they were clean? Or was it so they would know ,He had cleaned them?
 
Accepting His sacrifice, submitting to His kingship and walking in His love
Really ? Accept jesus sacrifice! Are you out your mind? Only hyeaven is the acceptor of Jesus Sacrifice.! Don't dance around excuses they dint know what you nean ! speak the Only Truth not yours we all lie and many don't know it.
 
I am really not sure what path you are walking, but I don't have to know. I just have to trust His word and obey. I accept that Christ died for my sin, and without Him I am nothing, Anything I know, anything I can do, and anything I have is because God gave them to me. He sprinkles my days with pockets of joy that are just for me, and He also lets me know when I am out of line. My joy and my peace are in Him.

So the wise tain theur tongue the tiad akk should be on twi riad one leads to death so you're saying I'm on that road . Your tongue tell me you're on that road life and death ate in the tingue fancy sayings don't get the job done. It may look clean inside its Not. Chose life use words of life Not then of your trusting others Men . Plus if asked a question of the lord do you answer or change the subjects like you just did hear is that how he told you to reoly to me i know when he soesns and yes in your text im waiting to hear Him
 
The Anointed of God did Die yes but the Christ anointed born Him Quickened, you words say the Anointing Died that not true . By the heaven accepted sacrifice Jesus Has The Anointing To anoint ! by scripture Only God can Anoint now its time to understand All judgement belongs To the Son of Man Jesus Glorified lord God this is the Jesus ,that i know.I never knew him as The Anointed of God and no one can except the disciples in his time. They got to know him briefly as Lord God with the Anointing and the rest is all done by the Holy Spirit to this Day.

I am almost certain Luvwik didn't mean that we accept the sacrifice of Jesus as though it was offered to us. It was offered to His heavenly Father. I understood Luvwik to mean that we need to accept that Jesus sacrificed Himself on our behalf.
