Matthew 7:20-23 “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
Being born into a Christian home, or raised as a Christian, does NOT make you one. Being baptized as a child does NOT make you one. Being Confirmed or going through a Bible study does not make you one. Joining a Church dose NOT make you one!!
Matthew 15:7-9 “Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
Have you ever heard some of the filthy demonic politicians being called a R.I.N.O.? One who is a R.I.N.O, is a Republican, who is really a Communist Democrat at heart, Hence Republican In Name Only!
Well it is the same with someone who says they are a Christian, and as scripture above says, “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”
Ezekiel 33:31-32 “And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 32 And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.”

why do you come on this forum and lie and troll then? It makes no sense magpass. You can't rightly quote scriptures that you don't believe in and consequently do not practice. Why did you pretend not to know who John was in the Shoutbox when you clearly know who he was.

It is WRONG that people being in a “religion”, or even a member of a Church, makes them a Christian. That is akin to saying being in a barn makes you a cow!
The word “Christian” is used three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1st Peter 4:16). Followers of Jesus Christ were first called “Christians” in Antioch (Acts 11:26) because their behavior, activity, and speech were like Christ. The word “Christian” literally means, “belonging to the party of Christ” or a “follower of Christ.”But going to church, serving those less fortunate than you, or being a good person does not make you a Christian. Going to church does not make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile. Being a member of a church, attending services regularly, and giving to the work of the church does not make you a Christian.
The Bible teaches that the good works we do cannot make us acceptable to God. Titus 3:5 says, “He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” So, a Christian is someone who has been born again by God (John 3:3; John 3:7; 1st Peter 1:23) and has put faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8 tells us that it is “…by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
A true Christian is a person who has put faith and trust in the person and work of Jesus Christ, including His death on the cross as payment for sins and His resurrection on the third day. John 1:12 tells us, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” The mark of a true Christian is love for others and obedience to God’s Word (1st John 2:4, 10). A true Christian is indeed a child of God, a part of God’s true family, and one who has been given new life in Jesus Christ.

you need to start acting like one. Until now you have not confessed to lying and making alt accounts. Why did you return? Do quote scriptures and debate? Isn't that right? Dude, you need to be sincere and I can tell that you are not.

While the unredeemed person doesn’t understand the Word, and cannot understand the Word, still, the Word forms a basis on which the Holy Spirit works, without which He will not work. As the Word in some way goes forth, and as the Holy Spirit quickens it to the heart, the person is brought under conviction, and the one thing they do then know is that they are lost. In other words, they are convicted of their lost condition.
There is a pull generated then by the Holy Spirit to bring that person to an acceptance of Christ, Who Alone can meet and change the condition of the heart. If such a person then believes in their heart on Christ, that person is then Born-Again—instantly Born-Again, we might quickly add.
So, understanding the condition of the lost soul and how the Holy Spirit works, Preachers should realize that if they fail to preach Jesus Christ and Him Crucified, if they fail to make that the foundation of the presented Gospel, there will be no spiritual results.
The Word is clear. The Message is clear. There is no reason that Preachers of the Gospel should take any other tack than that laid down by the Apostle Paul. “Excellency of speech or of wisdom” will serve little purpose. The Message must be “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.
Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

You are the false prophet and a wolf in sheeps clothing as I have already exposed your lies magpass. I have reported you and hope the mods will delete your account and contents. By the way, Satan also knows scriptures and quoting them while living a lie only makes you look like a false Christian

That only means you hear and do not obey, thus self-deceiving yourself. Proof your faith by your works.
I know the scriptures says that one.
You still will not admit to lying...which means you are very proud and arrogant yet want to come on here quoting scriptures as if that somehow makes you looking good. You only fool yourself and are wasting time. You ought to repent and believe and love your brothers and not lie as you clearly are doing.
