Matthew 5:14-15 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand and it gives light unto all that are in the house.Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
To all the questions I asked was not for my sake but for you to examine your own personal walk in Him. I was not placing judgement, but asking you to examine your hearts before God. I will be praying for all of those who wrote me or continue to. Blessing to all who call on His name Jesus Christ.

stop your preaching. this is not a question, and just who do you think you are to preach at others?
besides, I think you just ask stupid questions to make yourself look good to yourfriends.

This is just my opinion. It doesn't have to be conforming to what others believe and if you believe that you have faith, you don't have to worry if you are able to prove it or not for the simple reason that the relationship is always between the individual and Him. Proving it will only be showing the superficial aspect of faith because no one will ever see what is inside our hearts. There are those who say they believe yet does the opposite and there are those who are silent but their faith is deeply rooted to Christ. So, who can ever confirm the truth except Him and the truth inside your heart results to either your salvation or your downfall. So, don't worry about proof because you and you alone knows what you have inside and Jesus sees that.

To all Christians who have answered & some of my favourite verses:
Col 1:9-12
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.
God Bless!

If one is a believer, then they are known by the fruits of the Spirit ... they will be good examples of patience, kindness, love and forgiveness, and self control. This doesn't mean every Christian will not fail, or not sin, for all do sin and fall short of God's glory. We are to have repentant hearts, and desire to show Jesus to others, to witness for Him, to be Christlike as best we can. It is am impossible task to be just like Him since we are far from perfect as He was and is.
Christians don't have to prove they are Christians, yet will act like they are, because they will act out of love and be willing to show they are Christian and not be ashamed of that.

The Book of James says that Faith without works is like a body without a soul...dead. We must live a Christian life, not just profess it. We teach others about Christ by example. Jesus himself taught by example.

The bible said something like stoning disobedient children to death, he's the proof:

What do YOU think about this, it's seems to contradict that the christian God is love, doesn't it?
And don't just put up quotes from the bible, they don't really prove anything.

well showing it or proving it maybe the same as in living it but i thin the latter is what we really need to do we may "show" that we are a true believer & makes eveyone thinks you are but we can not mock God.

You dont have to proof it. God can proof Himself, but He did say we must have a relationship with Him, speak His good news.
