Are all "Christians" really Christians?

Question

Of course the Bible says that 'Not everyone calling Jesus 'Lord" will have God's favor (Matthew 7:21-23) And, too, the Bible also states that Satan the Devil is 'misleading the entire inhabited earth' (Revelation 12:9; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15). And, once more, the Bible shows that God is truth and that he doesn't teach lies or contradictions (John 4:24; Isaiah 54:13; Titus 1:2).

In light of all this, how many TRUE Christian religions can there be, seeing as such each one contradicts the next in larger or lesser ways? - Ephesians 4:5

Answer 1

You're right ... not all who claim to be Christians are true Christians.

True Christians are those who sincerely commit their lives to Jesus Christ, and who live in obedience to his commands.

Cordially,
John

Answer 2

All Christians are not christians. To be a christian means to be christ like and it means more than that it means to be a doer of the word of God and not only a listener. You cant twist the bible to mean whatever you want it to mean in order to be a true christian you must obey all the word of God including the old testament and the new testament. You must walk in holiness because holiness which without no man shall see the Lord. So if you are walking crooked and any kind of way you are not a christian.

Just because someone says Jesus or goes to church does not mean that they are going to heaven. You have to live the word of God. God has to be your life, the very source of your strength. The bible says that many will say, "I have cast out demons in your name, I have done many wonderful works in your name and he will say I know you not, get away from me ye workers of iniquity." God is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle or any such blemish. If your pastor or whoever is telling you that you can be full of spots and wrinkles than that person is lying to you.

The devil has washed the minds of christians everywhere to the point that they are so fancied on religion, money, clothing, and all worldly things that they aren't even realizing the church has become a store, club, outting area, dating plaza, fashion show, and many more things that trouble the world. Just because every church or christian gathering is doing something does not make it right. We don't pray like we use to, we don't shout like we use to, everything is fake, you can't tell now a real saint from the world and that is exactly how satan wants it to be because he knows his time is not long. He wants to gather all the souls he can to hell and he will do it if he can by using what he knows best the church. he can look down the divinic line of time and see where a church is going to be so he will sow discard and confusion and he will do all he can to separate religions, race, sex, whatever he can to get the job done. cause he aint got long.
God is not a man that he should lie nor the son of man that he should repent. God's word is true and everyone that calls on his name should turn from their wicked ways.
There is one christian faith and that is to follow the scriptures to every dotting of the eye and crossing ot the t. You have to do all of the word of God and you have to walk according to his righteousness. Religion is man made, it's a tradition that was passed on from generations and religion can become a cult. God is not a God of religion. Religion has boundaries it causes many to suffer and be damned. My people suffer for their lack of knowledge. Their is no need for it because most of us, well that is the christians anyway even though we are different religions we are trying to make it to heaven. So the result of religion only causes problems it causes division and because their is so much of it there can't be deliverance. There won't be tell every religion puts aside their barriers and come together to serve God.

Answer 3

There are the true Christians, new Christians still learning about the Bible and what Christians should live like, there are Christians about half way through the learning process, there are Christians about to meet God and finally be made perfect in His sight, and then there are the false Christians- some know they live a lie trying to confuse ppl and win them to Satan and put up walls between God and ppl. Others are still being fooled by Satan and haven't figured out what is going on because they were saved, but never grew in their faith or learned about the word of God. Then Satan started working on them.

Answer 4

How many people in church believe absolutley everything that is said there?

Christian is a word which pertains to people who believe Jesus is the Messiah and God's only chosen son.

Whatever you call yourself- only each person can decide how, when, why, what, where or if they believe in God or Jesus or the Great Spirit i the sky.

How many say they have manners yet when you visit they don't show their manners? How many say they are dumb but are actually really smart?
How many say they are Christian yet are hypocrates, two-faced, and judge others even though God says he is the only Judge...
I could go on and on but- I think you get the idea.
Why do health insurance companies say they care about people's health but really- they don't or they would help with preventative medicine not just after the fact medicine....

etc..etc... etc.....

How many times will Bush say he wants peace yet his actions don't meet his words?

Answer 5

I use the word "current Christians" when I am making a point to the current Bible followers because they do not actually follow Jesus but this dude name Paul who never even met Jesus, wasn't even sure that the person he saw in dream was Jesus and yet refuted anything and everything from OT and teachings of Jesus.

Answer 6

There is only one real truth in Christianity and that is in the belief that God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is the path to Salvation..or Eternal Life. By his Grace alone we are save. All the differences in Christian religions don't really matter that much if they are focused on belief and faith in this one Truth.

Too much time is spent seeing all the differences that ultimately are not going to matter.

Answer 7

I believe that there can only be one God. He is perfect. He knows everything. He created everything, including me and you and Jesus.
That's why it hurts me to see so many Christians spreading so many myths about one of God's finest creations. There can only be one truth about the life of Jesus. Can we ever know it?
I came across one Christian's struggle to get closer to the true original stories of Jesus.
Read it at www.jesusthemuslim.com and you will gain a truer understanding of Jesus' mission.
BTW, I'm Muslim, and I believe that the Quran, which has one chapter named for Jesus and another for his mother Mary, is the perfect unchanged word of God from 1400 years ago.

Answer 8

the word says u will know them bu their fruits meaning lives so no all that say they r aren't if someone is doing exactly like the world does and act like the world then I would guess they aren't really a christian. A true Christian will try their best to live like Jesus did.

Answer 9

Matthew 7:13-14

13 "Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it.
14 How(TR reads "Because" instead of "How") narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.

Answer 10

That is a very good question. Jesus said, 'by their fruits you shall know them.' Their is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism. This means that if you are a Christian regardles of congregation, or denomination if we love the Lord Jesus and ask him into our hearts then we are Christain's. One Lord speaks for itself. There is only one God.
One faith. it links the first (One Lord but it also links with knowing Jesus in our hearts. Know in faith that Jesus died on the cros for the sins on the world and if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us all from unrighteousness.'
One baptism, some people think that this means infant or adult, it doesnt. It means being baptised by the Holy Spirit. When somebody become a Christian they are baptised by the Holy Spirit to equip them to share the Gosple, and to be strong in their faith.
