Everyone but Jesus thought Judas was a follower of Christ Turns out the Bible says he was a Devil He just had a very good sheepskin. Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after. --- Charles Perry Locke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Izzy,

Allowing for the claim of "Christian" does not mean anything eternally.If I admonish you as a brother and you are a fraud, does that negate the admonition? And isn't II Thess 3:14-15 telling us that being a "brother" and being "saved" (potentially) two different things? the fact of the matter is

I usually try to give anyone the benefit of a doubt or assume the best of them, Christian or not, unless I have reason not to. So are you implying that BT doesn't think Terry is a Christian? iz -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charles Perry

Izzy, No, I was not implying that BT thinks Terry is not a Christian. I was trying to find out if you really take 1 Cor 13 to heart, and point out that if someone is indeed a Christian, but you do not think they are, that you may not take them at their word, in which case you would not be

Perry, I do not make being a Christian a litmus test of whether or not I believe a person. I take into account their history. Some claim to be Christians and aren't, but are liars instead. Some claim not to be Christians but I still assume they are telling the truth if I have never known them

Izzy, how do you know who is a believer to decide if you should take him at his word? Some on this group say they are believers but you do not believe that they are. If they are believers, regardless of whether you think they are believers or not, aren't you breaking 1 Cor 13 if you do not take
