to do by your Government? Back in the day, believers were martyred for following their beliefs and laws, do you have the same committment? Where do you draw the line, and what makes you think your God is alright with it?

I hold God's law over secular law. I'm pretty sure God is alright with that.

Christians already know where to draw the line. God has written the law, and He has decided what commandments we are to follow. We are therefore governed by God, not man.

That depends. If the government tells me that I can't leave gospel tracts under people's windshield wipers I won't do that (I never do that actually, not unless the car belongs to a friend and I'm pranking them). But if the government tells me that it is illegal to tell people about Jesus at all, then I will have to disobey them. God has told me that I need to tell folks about Him.
For me, if the government imposes a law that goes against what God has told us to do in the Bible, then the government is wrong and I won't obey that law. I will obey God's laws. The only thing is that I will have to be very careful about that, you know, not openly flouting the rules. That would be foolish.
And I hope that if it ever comes to the point where I am facing martyrdom, I will be brave enough to give my life for the One who gave His life for me.

We are told to test the spirits that we hear. Not all the spirits are angels from God. It is important to know God's Word, the Holy Bible, because evil spirits can tell people to kill other people and this is not from God. God has never told anyone to kill their family as you hear people saying. This is demonic and demons are increasing in the world, because sin is increasing. Witchcraft, Mediums, Magic, Tarot Cards, Quiji Boards, Cults conjure up evil spirits and as witchcraft or these others increase which is sin, these evil spirits will be loosed into our world. These people actually invite evil into our world. For this reason, God says they are an abomination and do not have anything to do with them.
Young children with their Harry Potter books are just introduced to evil. They are not evil, but the thought is placed into their little heads and if they pursue this thought it will eventually destroy them. For this reason, God tells us to not mess with it.
Innocent people have been accused as a witch, just because someone else evil wants to get rid of them. The Salem Witch trials are prime examples. Witchcraft is not innocent and should not be messed with.
Whether you want to believe or not, evil spirits are real. The invisible is very real and God wants to protect us from it.

By studying the Bible
We give unto Caesar (government) what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.
But if the government tries to force something upon Christians that is against God's will for us according to the Bible, God wins

It can all be summed up here:
Acts 5:29 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)

29Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men!
God's leading MUST take precedance over what man dictates!

Even God told the servants to obey there masters. But if I was told to do something aganist God then I am not to obey men, but God.
