How many new christians

[4KidsMOM]

How many new christians have been receiving attacks from family members and friends about their new faith. Have you had other fellow christians attack you by saying your no christian, you still need to repent. Or like you were saved but now your not. Like discouraging this of those sorts?

Hi, there; good to see you on the forums.

What counts is what the Word says about us; not what family or acquaintances say.

I have, but I recognize them as illegitimate accusations by deceived, wicked, or small-minded people.

Yes, but it hurts coming from the people that should be supporting us. eh?

 

[Sketcher]

True enough. Fortunately none are in my family. When it comes from so-called friends, then they just burned the bridge. I don't go back to them to take the abuse again. Remember, people that do this to you are sinning against you, so follow Jesus' protocol in Matthew 18:15-17. And keep your own nose clean.

Yes. Which angle is he coming from though, specifically?

Christians who attack other Christians tend to have lost God's concept of salvation. No one deserves it, "no not one." Jesus' redemption is our glory story, not our own dedication.

That means religiosity has taken over, and that's a hard battle to fight: people who sound right and spiritual tend to win the argument. Sometimes it's just best to walk away, and they lose their power. The balloon deflates when there are fewer people pumping it up.

God is with you at all times. That means His presence will be with you if you leave that church and find another... when you go to the grocery store, and even when you disagree with Christians who are teaching an oppressive gospel message.

God does not back teachings that are not His. So don't feel guilty. God has promised your salvation.

And btw it is sad to see this is a pressing topic at home, when everyone should be cheering you on for a new baby!

I left the Anglican Church because the minister called me an insincere Christian because my partner is atheist and I am not married. I am now going to a Pentecostal Church and getting baptised on the 19th of April. It is God who I let judge me. Not anyone else. He is the one who gave me a second chance.

MissRowy I hope your new church family can be a place of rest and refuge for you.
