Who Is A Christian by JamesIkosong(m): 5:12pm On Oct 29, 2017
WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?
The bible says that the disciples were called christians first in Antioch (Acts 11:26). This name came about as a result of the various innumerable and undeniable signs and wonders that were done through them. It was not accorded to them due to their regularity in church attendance or as a mere title. The Bible accounts that God did so many miracles through the apostles. Acts 5:12 says, "By the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wroght among the people." The disciples were so anointed that even the shadows of Peter for example could heal the sick. Seeing all the miracles, it was obvious that it was as a result of their identification with Jesus. Acts 4:13 says ". . .they marvelled and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus." This shows that the disciples replicated all the works and teachings of Jesus Christ.

From this, it therefore means that a true christian is not just a person who attends a church, or who holds a church position. A christian is a person who has been redeemed by the blood of Jesus to manifest His glory and shine His light upon the dark world. A christian is a person who has been commissioned to manifest the glory of God through signs and wonders. A christian is not just a passive dweller on the earth, or an unconcerned observer of the activites on earth, he is the one charged with the responsibility of effecting a positive change in the world. Matthew 5:14 says that we are the light of the world. In other words, we are not expected to fold our hands to see the world continue in darkness. We shine the light of the gospel, the light of liberation from the captivity of satan. A christian is the one with whom the Lord is working and confirming His words with signs following ( Mark 16:20). It is the actions we take on the situations around us that identify us as chistians, not just our innate and unexpressed intentions, not even verbal professions or our church affiliations. A christian is the one who is never comfortable with anything contrary to the will of God such as sickness, sin, poverty, satanic oppression, troubles, etc. So he would always do everything to bring about a positive change. A christian is the vanguard in establishing the kingdom of God here on earth, and is ready to take up this role. This is the major role that the christian is expected to play in the society.

A CHRISTIAN IS THE INE THAT FOLLOWS THE TEACHING OF PAUL (THE CORRUPTER)

Muhammed was a false prophet and allah is a daemon or idol.

Before you believe something you should first test its originality.
Before taking a friend you need to know somethings about such a friend. If you ignorantly befriend a thief , the law will not spear you when that friend is caught with stolen items in his possession while walking with you.
People arround such a person will also call him a thief even though he has stolen nothing . This is logical because they would want to know what attracts him to a thief , if he , himself , is not a thief or potential thief.


What are the things that attracts you to Islam and belief in Muhammed?

I belief Jesus Christ and his disciples ,including Paul, for many reasons. Paul had this to say:

1 Corinthians 4:10-12 KJV
We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. [11] Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; [12] And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

Mind you , original from God that is currupt is better or 100% better off than original from Satan that is not corrupt.

Really? This got me thinking how dull Christians are.

Let's get to the original topic by the OP.

LET JESUS TALK FOR HIMSELF

Why don't you let Jesus talk for himself, can the Bible talk. Stop saying the Bible says the Bible says.

Too much talk. A Christian is a follower of Christ. #simple.

Don't confuse a Christian with the work of prophets, apostles, and the preacher of the Word.

So Christ hath said whoever will meet with the Father must go through Him. Christ Himself is the church.

But everything is upside down this day.

This is well written Sir, I salute you.

Readers that care enough to see the powerful truth that JamesIkosong reveal here can quickly turn the channel to Emmanuel TV the world most powerful practical spiritual learning channel.

A Christian is one who seeked the truth, found it and now proclaims it.

What a false one! How about Buddhism, Babism, Paganism? Everyone seek the truth as they best understand it, and preach it. Even the called church of satan found the truth and are preaching it.

A Christian, it's in the Bible, is a follower of Christ. Where is understanding?!

A Christian refers to any person whose lifestyle ignores the rule of cause and effect, and revolves around a systematic routine of chronic wishful thinking of a better life based on faith on an imaginary character named Jesus.
