This people are only baptized Christian, they did`nt learn or study , catechism, and most of all skip masses , or are not aware of the church teaching. I think churches, must exert much more effort , to extend their activities, in some areas , where they practice traditional religion. Bible study , should be teach, and lay dispatch are necessary. Not only to Cristianism , this practice should be apply , but to different kinds of religion. I believe , that faith has only one teaching , and that is to LOVE, THY NEIGHBOR.

How do you know what is in another persons mind and heart.
It's people just like you that give religion such a bad name and keep others from becoming involved with a church.
What other person; as is written in the bible, can say what is in anothers heart? So you decide if someone else is a Christian because you obviously think you and other people here on earth can decide.

In this World Christianity is very complex. One can only understand and know Christ if the Holy Spirit is within his/her life. The Holy Bible teaches us that the Holy Spirit is the Teacher to every christian who receives Christ as his/her Lord and personal Savior. Those Christians by name after they recieved traditional orders and ceremonies from their church but no personal relationship and experience with God does not exactly know Christ. Knowing Christ is a personal experience and relationship with Him in our daily living. You can determine a true Christian and a pseudo-christian by observing his/her daily life. whether he/she lives according to the will of God or to the will of this World.

Just saying you're a Christian is enough to qualify as an immoral, mindless, violent, fearful, member of the herd. Pretending to have some otherworldly presence infused throughout your consciousness due simply to your wishing or embracing it, isn't much of a step down to be worthy of any increase in my contempt. If you just believe it, then it's mysticism.

People can stay baby Christians and not grow in their walk with the Lord.

It means that Jesus never set rules for Christianity, but religion has.

I just posted these words of Jesus for another question:
Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' (NIV)
So to answer your question from the words of Jesus, no relationship, no Christian and more importantly, no Heaven.

Only those who have been Born Again are true Christians. It does not matter what we do or know. It is who we are that counts.

The religion of church folks is nothing like the religion Jesus had.
