How to recognize a true believer:\n\n1. They can cast out devils! (Mark 16:17)\n2. They speak with new tongues! (Mark 16:17)\n3. They can handle even the most dangerous snakes without harm! (Mark 16:18)\n4. They can drink deadly poison without harm! (Mark 16:18)\n5. They can heal the sick just by touching them! (Mark 16:18)\n6. They can move mountains with only a word! (Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:23-24)\n7. They can uproot and replant trees with only a word! (Luke 17:6)\n\nSo whenever you meet a person who can do all of these things, you'll know you're in the presence of a true believer!

Mainstream Christianity is not true Christianity. Unlike early Christianity, so-called Christians celebrate pagan festivals like Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. They go to war, although Jesus taught his first disciples to love their enemies. False Christians are taught that Jesus is God when Jesus CLEARLY called himself the Son of God. (John 10:36) False Christians use the cross in their worship, even though it is common knowledge that the cross is a pagan symbol that pre-dates Christianity by thousands of years. They are involved in politics, although Jesus taught his followers to be no part of the world. (John 15:19)\n\nMainstream Christianity is indeed far removed from 1st-century Christianity.

The answer to your question is a resounding, yes, and He still does.  He is NOT dead.  He is Resurrected from the dead.  No other human that has ever existed throughout all history can claim this act.  This is what differentiates Jesus as the True Messiah, as truly Divine, while all others are fakes, imposters and mere men.  \n\nAlso, since He now exists, you have the privilege to call upon His Name, and He will audibly answer you.  If you desire in your heart an actual relationship with Christ, He says, "Knock and I will answer," for he is the Door.\n\nIt amazes me how people today are so skeptical and jaded that they are actually preventing themselves from acquiring "wholeness" in Christ.  That was the whole purpose behind His Redemptive Deed upon the Cross, to reconcile us (our fallen sin nature) back to the Father.  He is our Salvation.  His resurrection created a Door through which we may re-attain in us what was lost by the Great Primordial Fall when we became divorced from God (the Great Divorce).  The process of accepting Christ Yeshua (Jesus) as your personal Savior is a “Rebirth” where you are spiritually “rewired” and “reconnected” back to the Godhead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit through Christ’s ultimate act of Love, the giving up of His mortal life for your sins.\n\nFollowing is the proof of Christ’s existence and divinity:\n\nWhy believe in Christianity over all other religions? \n\n         Critics often ask why Christianity is any better than any other religion in the world.  After all, of all the religions that exist how can it be that only Christianity is true?  If God exists, why can't God use different religions?  Don't all paths lead to God? These kinds of questions are asked all the time of Christians and unfortunately the answers aren't always very good ones particularly when dealing with people who have a relativistic truth base and don't believe in absolutes.\n     Therefore, in an attempt to demonstrate why Christianity is true and all other religious systems are false, I've prepared the following list of reasons for Christianity's superiority.    \nThere are such things as absolute truths \n     If truth is relative, then the statement that truth is relative is an absolute truth and would be self defeating statement by proving that truth is not relative.  But, if truth is absolute, then the statement "truth is absolute" is true and not self defeating.  It is true that truth exists.  It is true that truth will not contradict itself as we have just seen.  In fact, it is absolutely true that you are reading this paper.\n     If we can see that there is such a thing as truth in the world, then we could also see that there can be spiritual truth as well.  It is not absurd to believe in spiritual absolutes anymore than physical or logical absolutes.  Even the statement that all religions lead to God is a statement held to be a spiritual absolute by many people.  This simply demonstrates that people do believe in spiritual truth.  Why?  Because truth exists.  However, not all that is believed to be true actually is true.  Therefore, all belief systems cannot be true since they often contradict each other in profound ways. \nReligions contradict each other; therefore, they cannot all be true. \n     Mormonism teaches that there are many gods in existence and that you can become a god.  Christianity teaches that there is only one God and you cannot become a god.  Islam teaches that Jesus is not God in flesh where Christianity does.  Jesus cannot be both God and not God at the same time.  Some religions teach that we reincarnate while others do not.  Some teach there is a hell and others do not. They cannot all be true.  If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God.  Furthermore, it means that some religions are, at the very least, false in their claims to reveal the true God (or gods).  Remember, truth does

No, those are fanatics of christianity.  Christianity is supposed to teach tolerance and acceptance.  A true christian is not supposed to such a thing.  Those people are also close minded morons.  Ignoring them is the best way to handle them.

Everyone who is born again by the Holy Spirit of God is a "real" Christian. Any other definition comes from men and not God. However, there are different levels of Christian maturity and commitment and Christ likeness. Also there are people who claim to be Christians because they go to church and have heard the gospel message but are not true Christians.\n\n1 Corinthians 12:13  For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.\n\n1 Corinthians 3:1 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.  (2)  I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,  (3)  for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?\n\nMatthew 13:19  When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.  (20)  As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,  (21)  yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.  (22)  As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.  (23)  As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."

Christianity! ( not as in organized religion, tho) As an individual that has a personal relationship with Christ. \nWhy? Because it is the TRUTH! Only thru Jesus, can we attain salvation.

That is an essential doctrine of the Christian faith and as such, I would not consider them true Christians.  I hope and pray that they do come to the full realization of God in all His aspects.  Blessings.

I don't know the exact number, but I don't think that's what you are looking for anyway. I'm glad to hear you speak up for what I believe to be TRUE  Christianity...Which if I'm correct is to LOVE everyone. I am not a Christian, but I have GREAT respect for real, non-hypocritical, loving Christians...Peace to you and thank you for making this world a bit less hate filled!

a person who did what he did.... how can he ever become a real christian? this would take a miracle first, and then, perhaps, everything else would be possible, including realizing the evil he did... and luckily, God forgives more than humans...

The bible's definition of "Christian" is pretty clearly associated with those who preach and declare and persuade from the Scriptures. Which self-described Christian religions are best known for their global preaching work?\n\n(Acts 11:20-26) Declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus. Furthermore, the hand of Jehovah was with them, and a great number that became believers turned to the Lord. ...it was first in Antioch that the disciples were by divine providence called Christians.\n\n(Acts 26:25-28) Paul said: “...I am uttering sayings of truth and of soundness of mind. In reality, the king to whom I am speaking with freeness of speech well knows about these things... But Agrippa said to Paul: “In a short time you would persuade me to become a Christian.”

The One True God is the One who is the ultimate creator, and everything leads to him. The one that is true to me is Cathicism, you need to find what you truly belive in. There are many religons but they usually come from one root. The main one's I know of are Cristanity, Islam, Budisim and Hinduisim, just to name a few popular ones.

You are obviously not even searching for the truth. If you truly were a "Christian" then you would love your brothers and sisters in Christ.\nI thought your other question was a rouse. Get real would you!

Straight is the gate and narrow is the way that leadeth unto life and few there be that find it, yet millions just in the USA claim to be Christians. Statistically they cannot all be true Christians so yes, most are fakes. They just don't know it. You can go to church and throw around the name of God all you want but that doesn't mean they really know him.

The word "Christian" has adopted a very broad meaning.  Christians in the Bible were actual DISCIPLES of Christ.  Acts 11:26 says, "...And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."  Luke 14:26-27 tells what the requirements for a disciple are.  The term CHRISTIAN means a follower of Christ.  You can be SAVED, but not a disciple.  You can be a CHRISTIAN, but not saved.  Being a follower of Christ does not save you.  Judas Iscariot was a disciple of Christ.  He did not go to heaven. (Acts 1:25) A scriptural CHRISTIAN is one who puts the LORD JESUS CHRIST before all other aspects of their life and does His will and not their own.  Believing in God does not SAVE you but believing ON the Lord Jesus Christ as YOUR Saviour does. (Romans 10:9-14)\nIf you would like more detailed info, e-mail me at ISFTB@yahoo.com

Jehovah's Witnesses have the true religion. Consider:\n\n1. True Christianity draws its teachings exclusively from the bible, rather than from philosophy. Doctrines such as Trinity, hellfire, and immortality are not found in the bible.\n(Mark 7:7) It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach as doctrines commands of men.\n\n2. True Christianity works to make known God's personal name. No group has done more to advocate that name than Jehovah's Witnesses .\n(John 17:6) I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.\n\n3. True Christianity recognizes the active role of Christ as heavenly King NOW, not just as a storybook character in a manger or dying helplessly. Witnesses look to Jesus as their Head and King who is ruling in heaven already.\n(John 3:36) He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life\n\n4. True Christianity is not just formalism, but is a way of life for its adherents. Jehovah's Witnesses have a real reputation for honesty, integrity, and faith. Their worship shuns pageantry and sacerdotalisms.\n(Isaiah 1:15-17) Even though YOU make many prayers, I am not listening... Learn to do good; search for justice\n\n5. True Christianity is known by its members love for one another. Witnesses do not go to war, and do not take up arms against anyone much less members of their own religion.\n(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.\n\n6. True Christianity is separate from the world. Unlike the clergy of Christendom, Jehovah's Witnesses remain neutral to human politics and nationalism, looking instead to God's Kingdom through Christ Jesus as the only solution for all mankind's problems.\n(John 15:19) Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you\n\n7. True Christians follow Jesus' command to preach. No religion has more prominently emphasized preaching by all its adherents around the globe.\n(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations

A true Christian doesn't hate anyone\nThe ones you refer to are probably just frustrated like me that people refuse to believe the truth
