If a murder truly believes that Jesus died for his sins(murder, rape, ect.), would you still say "He's not a real Christian"

A bad reputation for saying that God chooses his own without distinction? If a murderer believes, they believe. It's not up to me to say that they are saved or not saved because of their crime. Nevertheless, there are still under the penal systems of the society in which they live.

No way, No reason for me to lie. Its sad that some religions are getting are getting bashed by people. A reputation,of what some people think, does Not make it True. The bible is Gods word. Its man that can mess up interpreting it. There are good and bad people in Every religion. God will do all the judging, its not my place to say someone is not a Christian. Only God has the power to give a undeserving sinner the gift of eternal life, if sinner believes in Jesus Christ.

Depends on whether he repents of his sin and is truly repentant. Forgiveness is free by the grace of God if you want it. Remember when Jesus was hanging on the cross He was not alone. Two others were crucified with Him. One said, "If you are the Messiah, you'll do a miracle and save us all". But the second convict said, basically, "We deserve what we are getting, but that man has done nothing wrong". At that point the convict repented and Jesus told him, "Today you will be with me in Paradise". Was that convict a Christian? Doesn't matter, he was forgiven by the grace of God. As far as "bad atheists" go, what the heck is that? Agnostic? As for lieing for my faith, no way. I'll let the Muslims do that for theirs.

No. why would we lie? Every one is not perfect, and any type of sin is still plain old sin no matter what it is, so yea he is still a real Christian. Christians are not perfect, but we we try to attempt that perfection.

Christianity needs not for me to lie..and being a Christian forbids it...All have come short of the glory of God....so If one confesses that he is saved then...if accepting Christ...he is

thrilling question. a modern learn has shown that fundamentalist and evangelical christians are the LEAST in all hazard to persist with christ's incredibly teachings and examples. Christ replaced right into a liberal, who endorsed feeding the damaging, therapeutic the ill and helping those much less fortunate than you. He replaced right into a freaking socialist. however the ideals supported and fought for via fundies and evangelicals are the suitable opposite of what christ taught. So, i could say christ's followers will finally end up destroying his faith. I could additionally factor out that atheists are lots extra knowledgeable with reference to the bible and faith than people who persist with it. in fact, the extra fundamentalist you're, the less you recognize with reference to the e book you supposedly persist with.

They can hate on us and gives us the worst reputation in the world but that doesnt stop me from serving God. Its not about religion, its about the relationship with God.
