[QUOTE="Lukaris, post: 77391119, member: 198106"] I believe a Christian is a person who has come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior ( John 3:16-21). Our basic way of following the Lord is to keep His commandments ( John 14:15-18). His highest commandments are to love God & neighbor ( Matthew 22:36-40 etc.)the commandments for basic living ( Matthew 19:16-19, Romans 13:8-10 etc). We are to treat others as we would want to be treated according to the understanding above “golden rule”( Matthew 7:1-12, etc.). Our basic way of living out the Lord’s commandments are in alms giving & prayer as the Lord tells us ( Matthew 6:1-15). We are to pray for ourselves and others ( 1 Timothy 2:1-8). While not everyone is an evangelist, we are still called to pray for evangelism ( Matthew 9:36-38). The Christian has an assurance of salvation which is a commitment ( 1 Corinthians 15:1-3). Our ability to live by the commandments is a challenge in daily life & commit to renewal of repentance as we live ( 1 John 1:5-10). This world is full of chaos, tragedy, sorrow etc ( John 16:33). While we as Christians have the assurance of salvation, we should understand judgment but not judge. The Lord says God will save the good and condemn the evil ( John 5:22-30). It is a very wide open issue actually ( Matthew 12:31-33). We should hope for as many as possible & trust in God ( 1 Corinthians 13:12-13). [/QUOTE]
