a broad path that leads to destruction, a relgious people who are destitute of truth yet think they have need of nothing, that will say"lord, lord, did we not do this and that in your name", and yet he never knew them. What is the single most important factor in determining who is truly on the path of righteousness, and those who are just religious, in your opinion?
"THEY MUST BELEIVE"??? The Demons believe.
"THEY MUST BE BAPTIZED"??? Lots of wet people
"THEY MUST BE CHOSEN"??? Practically everyone claims it.
"THEY GOT TO ACCEPT JESUS"??? This could not even been his name. Acts 4:12
What is THE single MOST important in your understanding?
WHAT WILL this special group MANIFEST that the FAKES CANNOT??

Obedience is better than sacrifice. To REJECT Yahweh's commands it call Yahweh accursed. This is not something a true believer can do. The true believer will manifest obedience while the fake will not. HEB. 10:26

The fruitages of the spirit but mainly love. (Galatians 5:22-23) Agape love. Principled love among the whole association of brothers and sisters. (John 13:35) That and unity, speaking in agreement. (Ps. 133:1; 1 Corinth. 1:10)
What do you find with most religions claiming to be Christians? Participation in wars against countries having people of the same faith as themselves. Killing one another. How about 5 churches down the same road all saying they are Baptists or Methodists but all teaching different things. There is no unity or agreement there.
The only religion that is different is Jehovah's Witnesses. Go anywhere in the world in 237 lands. Go to any Kingdom Hall and you will find them teaching the same thing. At our conventions, there is no need for the Police. All races, age groups and even nationalities are there in unity. Families are there, not for procedures or votes, but for spiritual instruction. Following Christ is a daily lifestyle, not a hobby.
We pay taxes and obey all laws of the land except when they contradict higher laws, God's Laws. We have nothing to do with politics or wars. We don't fight our brothers.

Satan has already deceived many to believe in the fly away doctrine...but those with the seal of God knows when the true Christ will return and they know that they will face Satan and his lies so that the holy spirit may testify through them......

in the bible, it tells us the only way to know is by the fruit they produce.... many ppl can act like they are christian..... but, if you closely observe them and all aspects ofthier life, you can separate the real from the fake.... but, ultimately, i believe true christians manifest TRUE love and tolerance... and kindness and acceptance.

Probably proper use of capitalization.
