I think the OP's original point probably was or should have been, "Are you living a life worthy of the calling you've been given?"

To that, all I can say is, I don't think so. This has been on my mind a bit more of late, so I bring it up sometimes in prayer. But, only God can ultimately be the judge of how I'm living, and how many of my works will be burned up on Judgment Day.

I will say this: I believe / hope I'd have the spine to tell such a court that I am a Christian, that Jesus is my God, that there is no other, and that they're not going to change that.

As a Christian believer living in an Islamic country, I have faced many persecutions, and my faith has not wavered because I believe from the beginning that Jesus Christ is the truth, and difficulties strengthen my faith when I look at what Christ did for me.
Awesome bro. There is only one way, so no matter how rough things get, we must hang on.

Years ago I was given a cassette tape entitled “If you were put on trial for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict?”
Technology has moved on and I don’t recall a lot of details, but I thought it was a compelling title to share.

I am studying Jesus in all the Bible this week with assistance of Strong’s Concordance. Your thoughts are kindly solicited.
i think where a government prosecuting people for being Christians is concerned, being an active member on CC for years is probably enough for a conviction... particularly if they read my posts into evidence.

But that's not really the point, is it?

Yes I agree! It made me think of this scripture:

John 13:35 "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Even a little act of kindness for another believer can go a long way! God Bless You :)

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 1 Cor 4:3-4 (KJV)

Yep! There will be a lot of deception going on in these latter days, so we need to stay alert and always stand up for Christ, even though we may be arrested for doing so.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

- 1 Peter 5:8-9

Well we all would.. Plenty of evidence online here at CC ... At lest for a secular court the very act of contributing to a Christian forum would be considered proof enough.. Even the false christians in here would get convicted alone with the true..
