Mark 1:16-20

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

18 At once they left their nets and followed him.

19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets.

20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

Matthew 4:18-22

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.

19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

20 At once they left their nets and followed him.

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them,

22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

Matthew 4:19

19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out, to fish for people.”

Luke 14:25-27

The Cost of Being a Disciple

25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said:

26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.

27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

John 13:34-35

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Michael547:
You outlined an argument without any scriptural support. So how are we to trust your information. Can you give an example of the difference between a Christian and a disciple of Christ from the Bible?

Matthew 28:16-20

The Great Commission

16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.

17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.

18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

A yo-yo is a toy consisting of a string attached to a spool. When you hold one end of the string and let the toy drop, it unrolls to the end of the string and then rolls back up. It’s somewhat similar to our local spinning tops, but instead of spinning on the ground, a yo-yo operates using gravity and tension in the string.

I sight you correct person. Thanks.

So in a nutshell what you said in the beginning of your thread is your own PERSONAL opinion therefore others could believe in Churches founded by Nigerians as Christians.

No wahala jàre!

My brother or sister, every opinion is personal.

None is right or wrong, just a different wavelength of understanding.

MaxInDHouse:
Guy both means the same thing a Christian is a disciple of Christ he may fail to keep his faith strong that doesn't mean he is not one of Christ's disciples however one who doesn't ASSOCIATE with his fellow believers has nothing to do with Jesus because Jesus only join his disciples when they GATHER {Matthew 18:20} that's why we must forgive our brothers and sisters if they sin against us we shouldn't think we are better than the congregation of God then disassociate ourselves from the gathering of Holy ones {Hebrew 10:24-25} the gathering of Holy ones doesn't mean gathering of perfect humans rather it means the gathering God declared pure due to His Holy Spirit helping them to do His will.

So don't think members of this RELIGION can't make mistakes we err many times but humbly we accept correction whenever God use one of our brothers to point out our mistakes! Galatians 2:11-14

So my friend CHRISTIANITY is the only true RELIGION but then how can we IDENTIFY true Christian organization when thousands of sects with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines are all claiming Christians?

As I said earlier, We are operating on a far different wavelength of understanding in this matter. It is not about being right or wrong. It is about having a clear understanding and conviction of whatever it is you are saying.

That is my response.

Taxes are cumulated and paid from the Head Office. So I support that the Tax be paid to the State that has been hospitable to the Company and given it room to do business. If anyone feels aggrieved, then attract new companies to your States, and stop making the companies already in your states to fold up or run away due to insecurity.

If you love to eat, then you should also love to cook.

While often used interchangeably, there is a significant difference between being a Christian and being a disciple of Christ:

*Christian*

A Christian is someone who:

1. *Believes in Jesus Christ*: They have faith in Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior of humanity.
2. *Accepts Jesus as their Savior*: They have accepted Jesus' sacrifice on the cross as payment for their sins.
3. *Identifies with Christianity*: They associate themselves with the Christian faith, its teachings, and its community.

*Disciple of Christ*

A disciple of Christ, on the other hand, is someone who:

1. *Follows Jesus' teachings*: They actively seek to learn from and apply Jesus' teachings in their daily lives.
2. *Imitates Jesus' example*: They strive to emulate Jesus' character, values, and actions.
3. *Commits to spiritual growth*: They prioritize their spiritual development, seeking to become more like Jesus through prayer, study, and obedience.
4. *Serves and obeys Jesus*: They recognize Jesus as their Lord and actively seek to serve and obey Him.

The key differences lie in the level of commitment, obedience, and spiritual growth. While being a Christian is primarily about accepting Jesus as Savior, being a disciple of Christ involves a deeper commitment to following Jesus' teachings, imitating His example, and actively pursuing spiritual growth.

In essence, all disciples of Christ are Christians, but not all Christians are necessarily disciples of Christ.

MaxInDHouse:
Christianity is not a True Religion.

The only True Religion as far as I am concerned is to be a True Disciple of Jesus Christ

So how do you call the gathering of disciples of Jesus Christ if they are not CHRISTIANS? Act 11:26

We are operating on a far different wavelength of understanding in this matter. It is not about being right or wrong. It is about having a clear understanding and conviction of whatever it is you are saying.

MaxInDHouse:
Have you thought of how to IDENTIFY the only true RELIGION?

No FAKE exist without ORIGINAL somewhere it's like saying you found fake money but concluding there is no original so are you ready to figure out what Jesus said about truth that binds faithful people throughout the earth together as ONE? John 17:22

For your information, Christianity is not a True Religion. And Islam is not a True Religion.

The only True Religion as far as I am concerned is to be a True Disciple of Jesus Christ. But so long as Nigerians continue to be Christians instead of being true Disciples of Jesus Christ, things can only get worse. In fact, this is just the beginning.

I do not see any insults in what they said. Simply an exchange of Truths.

It is the Truths that Yorubas are extremely dirty and shit inside nylon, but not all of them.

It is the Truth that Northerners sleep with cows and drink from Latrine, but not all of them.

Stop feeling insulted when told the Truth. Your anger does not change the Fact. Improve yourself if you want to change the Truth.

Hmmm. Interesting...

Kobojunkie:
This isn't a Nigeria-only issue. All Religions are scams therefore all denominations, including those not formed by Nigerians are fraud centers.

All lies are lies but some lies are less harmful than other lies.

Take your cue from that

All Churches started or Founded by Nigerians are Fraud Centers.

Know this and Know Peace.

Enough said.
