Can you profess to be a Christian while insulting others?

Can you profess to be a Christian but not claim to be saved? #IntentionalLiving

ha! that’s a good one

Charles Page [06/10/2015 9:00 AM]
you can be saved and not profess Christianity.

John Ruffle [06/10/2015 10:07 AM]
I AM saved; I am BEING saved; and I SHALL BE saved. All three are true.

Charles Page [06/10/2015 10:21 AM]
I am saved; I profess Christ as my savior; I deny Christ is my savior; I profess; I deny …I am saved.

John Kissinger [06/10/2015 1:03 PM]
1 John 2:23 ? No one who denies the Son has the Father; End of story…

Charles Page [06/10/2015 3:06 PM]
I don’t believe our works save nor participate in our salvation. It is all of Christ alone who saves according to the will of the Father, beginning of story!

John Kissinger [06/10/2015 3:19 PM]
Those who deny Jesus before men, possibly out of fear, will not be confessed by the Son of Man before God and His angels (Lk.12:8-9)

John Ruffle [06/11/2015 12:40 AM]
Listen guys, a convert does not need to be conversant with the word ‘saved’ to be a child God. It is the heart surrendered to Jesus that matters. I think anither question needs to adressed in this thread: what is the sub-text behind the original question here?

John Ruffle [06/11/2015 12:41 AM]
I also note that no one has picked up on my previous comment (yesterday) which is three-fold Scriptural.

Charles Page [06/11/2015 1:06 PM]
I picked up on it and responded.

Barry G. Carpenter [06/12/2015 8:36 PM]
I think the OP is a good example of misunderstanding justification and sanctification.

Roger Wilkinson [06/12/2015 9:54 PM]
Being ‘saved’ is a process, it isn’t something that you look on as being in the past, such as going forward at a crusade because that would of been the moment you started the journey of salvation not ended it.

Alan N Carla Smith [06/12/2015 11:14 PM]
John Ruffle the sub-text is I walked into the break room today and heard a lady say “Well, I am a Christian but I’m not saved.”
Therefore I pose the question and see what some Theological peeps have to say about that comment.
Besides Charles Page’s first comment is a typical way of people turning Christian jargon inside out.
Start your own thread/post if you want to; if not stick to the original question.

John Ruffle [06/13/2015 7:14 AM]
Charles Page- apologies; I failed to understand your comment. Alan N Carla Smith – sorry, but I sense hostility in your comment above. I hope I am wrong, because I see no reason or justification for anyone to be on the defensive here.

Prayed for an elderly well dressed gentleman one Sunday morning at North Cleveland, who said to me with tears in this eyes: “I am NOT SURE if I am saved…”

Barry G. Carpenter [06/13/2015 9:47 AM]
Or could be that the woman views being “Christian” as a culture context of being American (not Buddhist/Hindu/Muslim and a “good person”).

No hostility just a suggestion to start another post or thread if you want to change the subject. That was all! I cannot type in humility, I did NOT mean it that way.

John Ruffle [06/15/2015 11:56 PM]
Thanks for that clarification Alan N Carla Smith much appreciated! ???

Mike Wilkins [07/03/2015 11:19 PM]
No!
