How do you tell the difference,who is a true and a false Christian?

your opinionHow do you tell the difference,who is a true and a false Christian?
A false Christian is a person who claims to follow and accept Jesus, but then shows hatred toward anyone who doesn't believe in the same things they do. Being ';saved'; has nothing to do with it. Walking the walk does.How do you tell the difference,who is a true and a false Christian?
The true Christians shall deny their own will, and submit to God麓s will only; they shall take the wrong and forgive; they shall give up their rights; they shall take the lower place, and make themselves last of all and servant of all; they shall not confront nor withstand mistreatment; and such like things shall they live by, which are the voluntary humility in Christ. Because the true Christians that are living godly shall suffer persecution, and the word shall is not an optional word.
A true Christian has a heart that is circumcised by the Holy Spirit:





Romans 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly (ie a Christian), and the circumcision is that of the heart in the Spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.





We can only discern that a person is a true Christian by the revelation of the Holy Spirit.





God bless you.
One is either a Christian or one is not. Merely claiming to be a Christian doesn't cut it - one has to be born again by the Holy Spirit - regenerated. That results in a changed life to show that this person no longer lives for self but lives for Christ. Galatians 5:16-26 explains this in some detail, but the essence is the Christian produces the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.





God knew from before the foundation of this world who would be his. ';And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.'; Romans 8:28-30.





You and I need not overly concern ourselves as to who is and who is not a Christian. God knows, Christ Jesus knows and the Holy Spirit knows.
True Christians don't think they have all the answers. They're not even sure we've got the questions right.


True Christians want to know what you believe and hope they might learn from you.


True Christians value their Bible but they don't treat it like the fourth person of the Trinity.


True Christians don't have ravenous egos.


True Christians travel hopefully, they don't think they've arrived.


True Christians make you think: I wish I could be more like him/her. And if you told them that's how you see them they would blush to the roots of their hair.


True Christians don't spend all that much time wondering who is a true and a false Christian. Whoops.
A true christian is described in these


two verses of the Noble Quran:





Strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, 'We are Christians': because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (The Noble Quran, 5:82)';





Next verse,





';And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: ';Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses.'; (The Noble Quran, 5:83)';
Study the Bible. Learn it well. Pray to God for understanding of the Bible. DO what you understand of its teachings.





Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.


Psa 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS: his praise endureth forever.





How else would you be able to tell?
i dont think you can ever know that, how can you?..people can say they love the Lord %26amp; dont..so the Man upstairs will only know that
it normally goes on why the christian agrees with


a fundie thinks liberals aren't true for example
You ask other Christians from a different Church if you want the answer to be 'no'...
';by their fruits';Drastic life changes.
Only true Christians eat peanut butter. If you go to a Christian's house and find only jam, get out quick!
True Christian follows Jesus (NT) and others the Cruel god (OT)
only god knows.
Their love
they live what they preach 7 days a week


and not just on Sundays



God knows the heart.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.


John 13:34-36
