WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?

A Christian is one whose life displays the life and Person of JESUS CHRIST. Acts 11:19-26
Emphasis on V.26. The Apostles were first called Christians because the lifestyle of JESUS was seen in them.

A Christian is one who does not commit to sin.
A Christian is one who hates sin and its appearance

1John 3:8-9

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil;[b](A Sinner is Not a Christian) [/b]for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin;[b] (A Christian is not A Sinner)[/b]for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Being a Christian is not a Religion. As Religion does not take one to Heaven.

Being a Christian is Confessing and doing away with Sin,Believing and Accepting JESUS CHRIST.

So if you are claiming to be a Christian and you are still involved in Fornication, Adultery, Prostitution, porn, Inmoral dressing,Masturbation, Stealing, lying, armed robbery, killings, Gambling,bribery, Drunkuness,cultism, charms, homosexuality, lesbianism, any form of Unrighteousness, you are not A Christian.

Religion does not take anyone to Heaven. But Believing and Accepting JESUS CHRIST and living the Life of Holiness.

JESUS CHRIST is coming as Events in our very eyes will make any wise human to know.

There is No More Time.

The Wickedness in the World has Gone Nuclear..

The World is being Destroyed in our Eyes..

JESUS ONLY is The ANSWER.. No other..

Surrender to JESUS CHRIST this day of opportunity... There is no Abeg once anyone drops dead..

Pray this prayer of Salvation

For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So says the bible.

Don't deny me my Christianity for being a sinner.

No man can be perfect.

Stop these deceptions you guys dish out to gullible followers.

Greater is the hell that await deceivers of brethren.

Shall we Remain in Sin, That Grace may Abound? GOD FORBID..

When sin creeps into our Life, as long as we are alive We have the Opportunity to Ask for Forgiveness... Remaining in sin is no Exvuse..

As far as there is life , it's an Opportunity to Repent!

Don't meddle with sin and claim to be a Christian.. Strive for Righteousness my brother, GOD'S Grace is available to Help us.

GOD Give you Understanding my Brother

You seem confused.

My contention with you is not about remaining in sin. It is about denying sin completely.

And again, if after saying you cannot sin, you turn around to preach asking for forgiveness, are you not by implication, contradicting yourself?

I'm not surprised at all, because most of the time, those who swallow these kind of teachings are usually illiterates or educated illiterates.

Shalom, my dear.

First of all, know that no one can live the life or in anyway display the life of Christ, it's not possible.
John 1:8.

Therefore, anyone born into a Christian home is a Christian.
That person, by virtue of being born into a Christian home is saved and is qualified to eternal life because he was brought up by his parents to believe in Christ not in Mohammed.

John 3:16 ...whosever BELIEVES in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

In summary, salvation is your religion Christianity.

My Brother you are Completely wrong.

Salvation is a personal Matter..
The Salvation of your Father cannot Save you

The Salvation of your Pastor cannot Save You

The Salvation of your Twin Brother/Sister cannot Save you


JESUS CHRIST is not a Religion HE is the way to Heaven. HE is the way to Eternal Life John 14:6

JESUS CHRIST Paid the Price for The Whole World not for a Group or a Sect..

A Christian is One Who have Beloved and Accepted JESUS CHRIST

A Christian is one who has Accepted JESUS and lives in the lifestyle of JESUS CHRIST..

It is very Possible to Live the life of JESUS CHRIST. All u need is to ask for The Grace. It's not by Power or by skills or Intellect.. The Grace to live the Life is Given by JESUS CHRIST..

I didn't say salvation of another person can save you. I'm in the opinion that we are saved by our faith and that faith is Christianity.
There is difference between saying one is saved because he was born into a Christian home from saying one is saved because another person(for example your parents) is saved.
Look, if you were born into a Christian home and groomed that way it will be very difficult for someone else to come and tell that Muhammed or Islam or any other religion is the way and you believe it.
That is how salvation was designed, it was designed to be very easy for us only that we have refused to see it that way that's why today Christians are working very hard, only for vain.

JESUS CHRIST is not a Religion HE is the way to Heaven. HE is the way to Eternal Life John 14:6

but he established a religion for the common salvation for all who believe in him yes or no?

JESUS CHRIST Paid the Price for The Whole World not for a Group or a Sect..

he paid the price for the whole world, that price is open to anyone who want to come and believe in the faith.
The price is open for the Muslims, it is open for atheists, for people practicing Hinduism, Judaism, and every religion in the world because Christianity is the only way because Jesus says I'm the way.
Do you understand what I'm driving at?

A Christian is One Who have Beloved and Accepted JESUS CHRIST

very true!
Not the person who can be like Christ as you put it earlier.
For Godsake no one can be like Christ, do you know the magnitude of standard Christ kept?
Christ never wanted anyone to be like him, all he wanted was people to believe in him and be saved.

A Christian is one who has Accepted JESUS

very true

and lives in the lifestyle of JESUS CHRIST..

very wrong.
which lifestyle you fit live where Muslims and atheists never live before, are you now telling me good Muslims and atheists are also saved because they also live lifestyle?

It is very Possible to Live the life of JESUS CHRIST. All u need is to ask for The Grace. It's not by Power or by skills or Intellect.. The Grace to live the Life is Given by JESUS CHRIST..

do you have any scripture for this?
Because what you are saying contradicts 1 John 1:8

My Brother you just picked a Verse from the Chapter.

Read the Next verse or you read the whole chapter.
The scripture you brought out speaks Loudly about what I said.. 1John 1:5-9 is the full package of A Christian is Not a Sinner and a Sinner is Not a Christian..

JESUS CHRIST did not create Religion.
Religion is created by Man.

JESUS CHRIST paid the price for the Whole Earth. All you need is to Believe, Accept HIM and live the life of JESUS CHRIST.

If any man be in Christ, HE is a New Creature, He is a New Creature. Old things are passed away. Behold all things are Have Become new.

You Can't Claim to be in JESUS CHRIST, and live life anyhow.. There is a lifestyle for those in JESUS CHRIST. We Live life like our MASTER, JESUS CHRIST lives.

no, I did not dispute when you said a Christian is not a sinner, you were very right saying that. (Only that you understand what that means)
But i wanted to find out to what extent do you understand that truth only for me to see you contradicting yourself saying a Christian is the person that live the lifestyle of Christ.
Unknown to you, you were equally saying someone who does not live the lifestyle of Christ is a sinner.

because scriptures made us to understand that if you break one rule of the law you have break it all.
And Christ did not break one rule of the law.

JESUS CHRIST did not create Religion.
Religion is created by Man.

It seems you do not understand the meaning of religion, many Christians ignore that especially in Africa.
Now Google the meaning of the word religion or use a dictionary.

And look at this also :

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

The very day the son of man was lifted on the cross was the very day Christianity as a religion was established, that was the day of salvation.

1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your FAITH.

mark the word FAITH. the original use of the word faith is religion(the is no word as religion as at the time the English bible was first documented, rather FAITH was used.
In otherword, if people were asked what is your faith? Their response will be, I'm a Christian or i practice Judaism or I'm an idol worshipper.

Remember when Moses lifted the serpe in the wilderness, as many Jews who lifted up their eyes to the serpent were saved from death.
The same thing, as many that has received Christ today(becoming Christian and not any other religion) are saved from death.

Salvation has been for a group of people and not a personal thing as you people put.
It is only personal when the person decide to believe, after that, it is a group.
