Christians ... If you deny Christ ...?

Question

but do not mean it in your heart what will happen?

Like if you are sitting with a group of friends and they all start talking about how Christians are so stupid and then they ask you what your opinion is and you say "Christ never existed" but you know in your heart that he did (does) and you regret that but never confess it in a prayer or ask forgiveness with it what will the result be.

Basically what I am asking is that if you sin and acknowledge with you heart that you have sinned does it matter if you ask for forgiveness for that sin in prayer since God knows what you are thinking and what you trully believe?

Answer 1

I would imagine that God would forgive that person anyways.

There's an example of Peter denying Jesus 3 times in the Bible. However, I honestly cannot recall if the Bible records Peter praying for forgiveness, etc.. (I apologize, but I don't have my Bible with me right now to look it up.) But, I strongly believe that the Bible does not record that.
The Bible does record that Peter deeply regretted it (which fits into the situation that's in your question).
Peter eventually became the foremost apostle after Jesus's resurrection.

Answer 2

what's with the name.

Answer 3

The Bible says if you are ashamed of me I shall be ashamed of you before my father. Jesus Christ didn't almost die on the cross, he committed himself as a sacrifice for our sins. He won't do it again. God doesn't want a Sunday Christian, who only behaves like a Christian when he has his Sunday clothes on. Commit to being a Christian 100% of the time or don't bother. Apostasy is a serious matter, and one that God has warned about in the book of Hebrews.

Answer 4

Really I think once your dead all is over.In the end of the bible it say Christ is never to return to a bunch of rebels,this is why he flooded the place and "No" the aliens are not God...
Its all up to the beholder,theres many kinds of people out like myself and we'll never know.

Answer 5

Christians should know that Paul himself mentions his own gospel, not Jesus, in his epistle to the Romans when he says in Romans 2:16: "In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel."
In face, the Pauline epistle to the Romans serves as the foundation of today’s Christianity. Thus, it is the Christians whose efforts will be wasted in this life as they think they were acquiring good by their works when they attribute partners to God, as stated in Chapter 18:103-106 of the Qur’an: "Say: Shall we tell you of those who lost most in respect of their deeds? Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life, while they thought that they were acquiring good by their works?" they are those who deny the Signs of their Lord and the fact of their having to meet Him (in the Hereafter): vain will be their works, nor shall We, on the Day of judgment, give them any weight. That is their reward, Hell; because they rejected Faith, and took My Signs and My Messengers by way of jest. (Al-Kahf 18:103-106)

Was Saint Paul a ‘prophet’.
Indeed, it is so strange and ironic, knowing that none of Paul’s epistle to the Romans, more than 430 verses, were ever formulated by Jesus. Paul should have made direct reference to the pristine teachings of Jesus, if only the former claim for apostleship by divine inspiration was indeed true. Instead, large parts of his epistles’ Biblical quotations (notably those in the Epistle to the Romans) were taken from the Old Testament – Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Ezekiel and Hosea. His epistles were, indeed a product of tedious efforts, but that does not make Paul far better than any of the other men who authored the Bible, nor does it make him a Prophet.

Is Christmas a Pagan belief?
The Christian practices that were adopted under Paul included the following: the Roman sun-day as the Christian Sabbath; the traditional birthday of the Sun-god as the birthday of Jesus; the emblem of the sun-god (the cross of light) to be the emblem of Christians; and, the incorporation of all the ceremonies which were performed at the Sun-god’s birthday celebrations. Some of the days of the week are called after Norse Gods.
Sunday – Sun Day (sun god), Monday – Moon Day (moon god), Wednesday - Wodin (or Odin),
Thursday – Thor, Friday - Friea

Gospel of Barnabas
If Barnabas is disciple of Jesus pbuh, why not you incorporate his gospel in next version of bible?
Why not you incorporate gospel of Barnabas in bible? We Muslims believe that gospel of Barnabas is free from interpolation and mischief. O Christians, is there no place of pure gospel in your bible???
