I think those who say they don't believe are stronger believers than the ones who say they believe. I have a friend who was traumatized by a bunch of religious nut jobs, and he talks about God like his worst enemy. Yet he swears he doesn't believe in god.

Yes, I believe it is difficult to tell the difference between a "believer" and a "disbeliever".
The difference is only obvious when a person speaks about their beliefs.
Remember some believers don't go to church.

Yes. There are quiet, respectful believers all around us, acting nothing like the childish folks on the Christian right and the violent Islamists. I'd venture to say that the majority of believers, in fact, are indistinguishable from the rest of us, except when the topic of religion comes up.

Of course its difficult. Sometimes its very difficult because you cannot see into a persons Heart(inner man). Some people can fool you into thinking they're saints.

It would depend on how they choose to show their religion. Someone who wears crosses may be a Christian but it may just be a fashion thing (my sister wears cross earings but she's agnostic).
Obviously you'd think you'd be able to tell a muslim, sikh or hindu person by there attire but then that may just be traditional choice rather than religious.
I'd say that you'd be able to tell instantly if they were the fundimentalist type that includes God or Allah in conversations but that's about it.

i think of I comprehend. you could love somebody very deeply however the affection won't be reciprocated. that's the reason the term in love is accompanied via the notice "with". It turns into mutual. it is likewise obtainable to love somebody and not be in love with them. In some techniques loving somebody is rather plenty deeper than being in love, as being in love demands (to me besides) the presence of very deep passions, an very virtually actual drawing in the direction of the different individual and incessant seen them - Your guy has various stuff deep down interior him you may attempt and comprehend. undergo in strategies Prince Charles' in demand line whilst asked if he replaced into in love and he made the remark "despite the fact that it is" - he replaced into no longer in love with Diana - I doubt he truly knew a thank you to love her because of the fact he knew she wasn't the "keeper" he mandatory. i do no longer think of you are the "keeper" to your guy and that i do no longer think of he's your "keeper" - yet he could be - in case you could discover what he skill via love - because of the fact i do no longer think of he's acquainted with what that's; and if he does have an theory of what that's, that's surely no longer the comparable definition as yours. on your concern i might think of this had the makings of a protracted term friendship and not greater. there is the Francis Bacon yet there particular isn't the sizzle!

Sometimes yes, but read your bible about false prophets and listen to the Holy Spirit when dealing with people, He'll let you know whether people are really who they say they are. Ask God for discernment. If a person "irks" your Spirit, steer clear.

Yes. I have been around many people who say they are saved. I see no difference in their life. They still drink, cuss, don"t go to church. When God saved me, He changed me. I now have a desire to follow Him. As Christians, we should pray, go to church,read our Bible, and tell others about Jesus. There should be a difference in our life as much as night and day.

If you are trying to ascertain if someone is a believer or not you have to discern how they live their lives and treat others.
