Christ’s sacrifice on the cross saves people who accept Him. It didn’t do away with hell nor did it prevent people from going there, assuming hell and not annihilationism is correct.
You think it means to profess with you mouth that you accept him
You think it means believe in your heart as well and that means to read the Bible and pray.
To accept Christ means to accept his teachings and do his commandments. Only then would someone abide in Christ, and this basic fact is clearly stated here and in many other passages:
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (John 15:10 KJV)
The kind of faith described by you which is divorced from righteousness is dead faith.

If he doesn’t think accepting Christ is required for salvation - and it seems pretty clear he doesn’t - then, yes, I’m saying he’s not a Christian by the Biblical definition.

Derision, not hate 🙂

But did you ever write about what caused you to disbelieve? If so, do you remember the thread you wrote about it on?

Oh, no, it’s hate. And you’ve got a lot of it in you.
