How to forgive?

You dont know the meaning of 'accept Him'.
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.

Me? Yes several times. And the Old Testament too. Cover to cover. In two different languages.

Actually, that question was addressed to dive.

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

That’s what the Bible says.

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

John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 speak of how one becomes saved. Good works and developing an aversion to sin are the result of one accepting Christ into their heart and evidence their acceptance of Christ was sincere and not “mouth worship.”

You can believe whatever you want to believe.

Salvation from hell or annihilationism, whichever awaits the damned.

I don't remember which specific threads they were now. I've talked about it many times. It may come up again someday. But not at your behest, obviously.

Wasn’t asking you to write about it again, which is why I asked if you remembered the threads.

There are 40,000 Christian denominations, sects and cults I hear. Who would you say, among the regular posters here, is what you would personally term a "Christian" follower of Jesus and who is a "non-Christian" follower of Jesus?
