I would like to know the difference between "true Christians" and "false Christians." Every time an example of bad Christian behavior is sighted, I hear the excuse: "They are not true Christians." I would also like to know the difference between "Born again" Christians and other kinds of Christians, and if all "Born again" Christians think they are the only "True Christians." Also are there some Christians who don't claim to be "Born again?" JB P.S. I am not trying to start a discussion about Christianity for a debate, I am just asking for opinions and for an answer. |

I will simply keep walking. Friends will come and go but when I reach the end of my walk I will be in the company of my only true friend.

I can give you an example. I know a person who goes to church every Sunday just so people can see him there to give the image of being a Christian. In real life he does not give Christianity much thought. This is a family member.

Its a funny thing religion......you can ask 5 different Christians, one from each different group, and you will come up with 5 different opinions of what a true christian is. Follow your heart, live a good life, pray to God in your own way and be a happy person.

True Christianity lives inside your heart and is your personal belief system, nobody can take that away from you or judge you .

Read the bible it will tell you that your more of a christian that you realize! |

To be born again simply means that you have been born as we all are but at some point you accepted Christ as your Savior. Born again of the spirit. People tend to view born again Christians as bible thumping in your face preaching hellfire and damnation types. That is a small percentage of them. If you simply believe in Jesus and that He took upon himself the sins of the world you are born again. The rest will come as you grow from that new infant in Christ. IMHO

The problem with that is that every Christian claims to believe in Jesus. If they are not true Christians then are they telling a lie? JB |

Perhaps being "born again" is some type of initiation or oath or baptism?

It would make sense that they would be telling a lie.
