On a separate note, how come an RHP poster has dubbed himself the forum’s “main poster” when I have nearly twice as many posts as him in the past month.
And I’m not even trying!
Edit: Nice!

Certainly one can make an educated guess if somebody is a Christian but I think in most cases, they won’t know, particularly if the person only recently became a Christian.
Originally posted by @romans1009Your definition if read by an American perspective is wrong and leads people down the road of destruction.

Originally posted by @eladarNo it doesn’t. It’s straight out of the Bible. John 3:16, Romans 10:9 and a lot of other verses and passages and statements by Jesus Christ Himself about the importance of faith and belief.

Those who believe in salvation by works have no faith in Christ and often don’t believe that God’s Holy Spirit indwells believers. They think they can make themselves righteous (in right standing with God) and they can’t. God’s standard is perfection. Good luck meeting that on your own.

How so? I'm an American and I think his definition is fine.
If you can't recognize sin and reject sin to follow Jesus you will not be saved. The sheep know their shephards voice.
These are many who follow false prophets on this site. If you disagree with me then you disagree with the Bible and you follow a false prophet too.
Originally posted by @eladarThe sheep are the Christians. Technically Jesus said not everyone who says to Him "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom. The only reason I make that distinction is because "calling on" someone can mean different things.

Originally posted by @tom-wolseyThose who called out to him believed they were saved, but Jesus told them their belief about their own salvation was wrong. Why was it wrong? Because they were evil doers, even though they believed otherwise.

Originally posted by @eladarCertainly developing an aversion to sin is a consequence of being saved because God’s Holy Spirit has indwelt a new believer. But trying to avoid sin on one’s own? Trying to avoid sin while living in the flesh? Good luck with that. Can’t be done.

It’s hard enough to abstain from sinning with God’s indwelt Holy Spirit because we don’t mind the Spirit nearly as much as we should. But to abstain or even significantly reduce sinning without God’s indwelt Holy Spirit? Can’t be done.
