I don't know of any reason to believe that Terry is not a follower of
Christ. Some folks claim to follow Christ but their fruit shows otherwise,
in which case Jesus said to judge by the fruit, not by the talk. Some folks
on TT state they don't know what it means to be born again, some claim to
be
followers of JSmith, etc. I choose to believe a person's statement about
him/herself unless they prove themselves to be speaking falsely--whether
that is intentional or not. How about you, Perry? Do you believe the
mormons, for instance, when they claim to be true followers of Jesus
Christ?
I don't because I know they can't follow JSmith and Jesus at the same time.

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 them
at their word?
