What is a Christian? What denomination is a Christian? Who is a Christian and Who is not a Christian?

This is one of my personal pet peeves. 85 % of the American population consider themselves Christians. Ok, well if that is true, then why is prayer taken out of school? Why is evolution taught as a fact in our schools? Why did Mt. Soledad get covered by the ruling of a leftist judge in San Diego? Why are there millions of babies aborted a year? Why are the gay rights people trying to redefine marriage? Why is our culture becoming severely morally deficient?

Why? If America claims to be Christian, then why?

The answer: America no longer knows what a Christian is.

So, what is a Christian then? The answer is profoundly simple. Christian means "little Christ." It was first called of the Apostles of Jesus Christ in the book of Acts, in Greece. The apostles' lives so closely resembled that of Jesus' life that they were called "Christians,"or literally "little Christ," it was originally intended to be an insult to them. They were disciples, followers of Jesus, they dedicated their lives to Him and to the work of the Kingdom of God.

So before you go calling yourself a Christian, check yourself out. Are you truly a follower of Jesus Christ. Are you a follower of the Biblical Jesus Christ?

See, a big difference between a real Christian and an in-name only christian is a process called "regeneration." If you have truly met with the Savior, you will have been reborn to the Spiritual family of God, and you will have eternal life, hence regeneration.

There is a movement that has been going on for some time now called the "modern gospel." Ray Comfort addresses it quite frequently. But the gist of this modern gospel is that it produces false converts because the Law of God is not presented. Therefore the person has no idea what they are being "saved" from or for and is just becoming a "christian" because it seemed like a good idea at the time. The Law of God is what is necessary for a person to realize where they stand with God Himself, and it will also lead them to the understanding of where they will be when they take their last breath.
