The Gospel, Christians and Acts

If Christians would spend more time being a Christian instead of defining to other Christians what a Christian is, we would have less arguments such as this one. My simple answer is given by Peter in Acts 2:Acts 2:38-39 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself."But this is just the "beginning" for the Christian. We have the rest of our eternal lives to grow in the grace, knowledge and love of the ONE who has saved us, redeemed us, and called us to Himself.BlessingsEdited by John 10:10, : added "knowledge"

Considering where you live, it's no wonder you've not met many true Christians. England, Scotland, and Europe have fallen into nominal Christianity that maintains Christianity more in name than in heart.You are in the wrong forum if you expect to meet lots of Christians who are moved by the Lord's compassion.If you are ever in the Nashville area, I'll take you some churches and Christians where the love of the Lord truly shines.Blessings

Yep!But you asked "What does it mean to be a Christian?""Joining the Son @ the Father's mansion" and living the Christian life thereafter as we ought to live are two different things.Christians are judged by their fruits.To be a true Christian one has to have the right roots.Blessings
