Why are there two classes of christians?

Question

there are the true christians and every other christian. Is there a reason for this?

Answer 1

Christians are very social and self centered. To keep there faith pure and be able to look down on others they maintain two classes. The good true christians are the ones that haven't been caught doing anything wrong. These people are believed to be good examples of christianity, and will always include the person that says this person is a true christian.

The bad christians are people that have been caught doing something wrong. Such as Hitler, Haggard, baker, and so one. By makingthissecond class they can still act like perfect people over us non-believers.

BS

Answer 2

There are many different ways of interpreting the same facts. Some Christians follow the Bible to the letter, where others have their own agendas - like personal choice, churches, governments, countries, families, religions, etc.


1. There are worldly Christians, who talks the talk and walks the walk. Go to Church, reprimand their children. But something is missing - their faith.
2. Then there are those who practice their faith behind a closed door as Jesus taught the disciples to do.
3. There's also Christians who accept other religions.
4. Lastly, there's Christians who don't practice what they preach.

We shouldn't really judge.

Answer 3

There are more than two classes. There are about 35,000 classes. The reason is that the common vernacular has decided to apply the single term "Christian" to what are actually thousands of independent religions. It is easy, for example, to differentiate between other religions. If you rail against some aspect of Hinduism, for example, people can say "I'm not Hindu - I'm Buddhist" (or whatever). But if you rail against "Christians" for something that is unique to the Southern Baptist Convention, what are other Christians supposed to do? The best they can hope for is to explain that they are not *that* kind of Christian.

Case in point. Some guy was asking why "Christians" don't step up against Fred Phelps, since he is "one of their own." It simply isn't true. I am a Christian, but there is no more a connection between me and Phelps than there is between me and the Taliban. We share nothing more than a generic term. My religion is completely different from his.

Answer 4

The scriptures show that there is only one united congregation of true Christians. It was God's original purpose to have the Earth populated by perfect people living forever in a paradise earth. Adam sinning passed on to all of us imperfection leading to death. God then determined to provide a way out for those wishing to obey Him by providing His Son Jesus Christ as a ransome sacrifice along with a chosen group of Christians from the total number starting with the twelve apostles of Jesus' day.Scripture shows these to number 144,000 who will live in heaven with Jesus ruling as Kings and priests. The rest of the true Christians will live on Earth forever.(Psalm.37:29:Matt.5:5) It is necessary to know scripture accurately so as to be able to discern who these true Christians are as there are many false ones.Jesus warned about these at Matthew.7:21,22. Amos.9:12 quoted at Acts.15:14-17 clearly shows who the true Christians are by using Almighty God's personal Name called upon them. All others calling themselves "christian" are false.

Answer 5

True christians agree with you and false christians don't. Except if you arn't a christian then they're all false. Seems like a basic human trait.

Answer 6

Yep.
The Christians that are saying such are always the "true christians" and then the other people who believe in the big J.C. are the "other christians".
It doesn't matter who's saying it though. They're automattically the true ones.

Answer 7

A "true christian" is someone who believes that Jesus is LORD, has confessed it with their mouth, and has asked Him for forgiveness for their sins. No one else is a Christian at all. Unfortunately though, "Christian" has become a term for anyone who attends a protestant church. But like I said, if they have not accepted Jesus as their Savior, then they are not Christians.

Answer 8

Same reasons their are "true" believers and fakers in any religion. There are girls that claim Islam, but wear slinky clothing. There are Catholics that have used contraceptives. There are Jews that have eaten ham.

There is no such thing as a perfect person, but the "true" believers are the ones that know they will slide, but try anyway. And they don't pretend to be holy, or better than anyone else.

Answer 9

I think, because people are raised in denominations (Catholic, Lutheran, etc) they tend to start believing that there are right and wrong denominations. But, as my Seventh Day Adventist Pastor told me, there will be lots of Catholics and lots of Protestants in Heaven, and a lot of the Seventh Day Adventists you know will not get there. No denomination is exclusively the "right one" and people tend to fake it at all sorts of things.

The bottom line is this: Accept Jesus Christ as the resurrected Son of God and your personal Saviour (deliberately and with good faith), and profess that faith with your mouth. Then you are a Christian and are beyond the boundaries of denominationalism and legalism.

Answer 10

WarLord,
There are two clases of People as well... Those who care about others and those who do not. Why do you want to classify Christians? I would hope that those who are not "True Christians" would become True to our Lord and Savior as they gain maturity in CHRIST. GOD has given each of us a set amount of time to find our way to salvation before our death. Hopefully, if you have not done so you will soon enough. Have a wonderful evening and a glorious week.
Thanks,
Eds
