What are some warning signs you're a lukewarm Christian. If you're afraid if being lukewarm, does that make you not lukewarm?

Being afraid of becoming a lukewarm is not lukewarm,...that happens when you on the alert and on the edge of becoming one.
a lukewarm person doesn't know he/she is a lukewarm,some one has to point him/her to...
A Believer who had to sit in Church and lead a life Struggling to be Faithful(to GOD) in all walks of life,Repented to even the smallest fault in himself/herself and had to go through hardships in order to be more Holy in front of God is a True Christian....
And from your question,i Realize you have Passion for God.
That's why God will Use you For His Kingdom in times to come..
Do not let go of the Humble attitude in life,God will cleanse you and make you Stronger in Faith.
lukewarms don't care about it.
God Bless

If you are afraid of being lukewarm, you probably are not. Sometimes fear will allow us to stop and reexamine our hearts to see if we are focused on God and doing His will.
However God does not want us to stay afraid.
for example if you see a red light you stop because you are afraid that another car might hit you. in the same manner fear should be a temporary stop light.
To be lukewarm is to think you have everything you need because you are rich and have material things but you do not seek after the things of God. You don't care to repent of your sins (wretched), pray/ establish a relationship with God (pitiable), store up treasure in HEAVEN (poor), read your Bible (blind) or do good works (naked).
Revelation 3:14-22 ESV s
“And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.

Danielle I think these peopel are the the luke-warm.... For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Did you see any of these on CC nd in life... who do you know that has the power of godliness?

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Being both is a contradiction. Faithful is believing in that which you do not see and true witness is just what it means. If you are a true witness what need of faith to prove what you know....
Lukewarm would be one who claims both. From the perspective of a true witness their nakedness is revealed through the two garments they clothe themselves with.

Being lukewarm has to do with the condition of the heart in relationship to good works and not the status of your positional standing with God through Christ. The lukewarm believer is not hot for God nor are they cold in their works, they just do a little here and a little there to make sure they are doing something. They never will take on a task that would require that their flesh to be crucified for that would be uncomfortable and not something they prefer to do. They are oriented more toward the things of the world then the things of God.
They sit beside you in church but will never show up to go soul winning or visit someone in need. They like to be served more than they like to serve. God prefers and would rather the believer be cold than lukewarm, for then He can work with the believer who is cold and stir them up through the Spirit to do good works. The lukewarm believer will never be hot unless they are converted through an old fashion confrontation of the cross. They need to realize in the will of God through the cross that they have been bought with a price and they are not their own to do as they please or what makes them feel good about themselves in the flesh.
I think a lukewarm Christian is one who can live their daily life without being aware of God in their life. They can garden without thinking of how God makes things grow, man can't. They can do their work without thinking of how God told us to arrange our life with order, cleanliness, or care for each other. They can look at the landscape without awareness of the God who created it all. They can throw garbage out the car window without caring for other people or the land God created.
...........ahhhh...............and, again...................
So, here's a NOVEL thought...........WHY don't YOU tell US what YOUR thoughts are?
