Op got this wrong, no 3 & 4 suppose to the same and should be the 1st the list before others. Hypocrites should be number 2 on the list....
initially, I wanted to categorize them together, but I have genuine born again Christians especially from orthodox churches who don't believe they can be spirit filled. they believe it is the exclusive rights of pastors.

Not false ho, it will be under spiri Coco Christians, the over Sabi Sabi set
there's no over sabi in Christianity. We all have different measures of the Holy Spirit and how we respond to them. Avoid mocking those who are extra charismatic, mocking them might result in you blaspheming against the Holy Spirit in them which is a sin that can't be forgiven ( matt 12:31-32)

Add to the list, those that will be acting like deputy Jesus undecided undecided.. as if they don see Jesus be4, or Jesus report you to them undecided undecided undecided..
And believe me, these set of ppl are mostly hypocrites.. ppl deceiving ppl since 1930 cry cry cry.
As a Christian, one of the best spiritual gift, is also gift of knowing things hidden( like prophecy stuffs sha).
Believe me, the church is like an hospital, several spiritually, mentally, emotionally sick ppl dey there, looking for healing called (salvation).
Don't put any mortal as your mentor, cuz if you expect too much from them, and they fumbled, you will relent somehow..
Make the Bible and the life style of Jesus your watchword..

I think deputy Jesus will be under false Christians MODIFIED okay, I think I misunderstood you. If what you mean by deputy Jesus are people who stand by the no matter the circumstances and whose ox is gored, then they fall under the born again and spirit filled category. Besides, it is better to be a deputy Jesus than to be a deputy satan grin
Religion / 5 Types Of People In Every Church (opinion) by JourneytoEL(f): 10:35pm On Jun 20, 2020
1. Audio Christians gang
Description
These are the "one leg in, one leg out" kind of church goers. They worship other gods at night and come to church during the day or once in a while.
Origin
a. Some of them come from homes that worship traditional gods, or one of their parent is a non-Christian, or basic non-religious homes, but they decided to bear the tag Christian to feel accepted in the society.
b. They come from Christian homes but they have decided to join occultic groups for money or fame. You will see this kind among the elderly generation (45- 80yrs). They only go to church to hide their true identity and socialize.
Basic Characteristics
a. They make blasphemous statements like, whether sango, Allah or Jesus, we are worshipping the same God. All pastors are thieves etc.
b. Today they are in the shrine, tomorrow church, next week, mosque.
c. They wear charms even to church.
Bible advise
Matt 6:24, No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. 
Ex 34:14, You must worship no other gods, for the LORD, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.

Repent before it is too late.

2. The Lukewarm gang
Description
This is the dangerous place a Christian any Christian can find himself. They believe in the gospel of Christ but don't believe in his power directly or indirectly. They are in the Church but under the bondage of sin. They are the ones the bible referred to in Tim
Origin
They mostly come from Christian homes.
Basic Characteristics
a. They are the easiest to attack by the devil, so they experience things like, having sex and eating food in the dream. They see cobwebs, themselves in old school uniforms in the dreams and other things that shouldn't happen to a Christian.
b. They say things like, I didn't go to church today because I couldn't iron my cloth.
c. Even, when they go, you can easily spot them sleeping, chatting, checking out the hottest girl and best dressed while the sermon is on.
d. Righteousness is not in their dictionary. They commit all manner of sins and replace God with their own gods like sports, gambling, lust, money etc.
e. Because they are spiritually blind, they follow the audio Christian gang to make snide comments against the church, not knowing that does ones have charms to keep them going.
f. The Bible is a mere history/storybook to them.
g. They are full of doubt and can easily be led astray.
Bible advise
Rev 3:15-17
 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing. But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

When there is life, there is hope. Most strong Christians (including myself) were once in this group. Repent today and put God first in your life.

3. Born again Christians
Description
These are Christians who have repented fully with a strong conviction to worship him. Through his Grace, their souls have been renewed and trained to resist the devil. Their greatest wish is to be with God in heaven.
Origin.
They can come from Christian and non-Christian homes. Most of them graduated from the lukewarm group.
Basic Characteristics
a. They enjoy praising and praying to God.
b. Their lifestyle alone, makes sinners around them repent.
c. They have this peaceful aura around them.
d. They enjoy nothing more than fellowship
with other true Christians.
Bible advise
Matt 24:13, But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

4. Spirit filled, Born again Christians
These are the people that walk the talk. They are the ones that Jesus spoke of when he said in Mark 16:17-18, And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands onsick people, and they will get well.”

They are a fulfillment of the Word in Jn 14:12, Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
I believe all Christians should work hard to be in this group.
Origin
Most converts from non-Christian homes can be found here.
A good number of those from Christian homes likewise are here.
Basic Characteristics
a. They have a very high regard for the Word of God and know how to use it like a double-edged sword.
b. They can say confounding things like, I have never been sick in 20yrs and carnal and lukewarm Christians would laugh in sheer ignorance.
c. They are brave, very active and ever ready to sacrifice their most priced possession to God.
d. They are very passionate and zealous about anything that related to God.
e. They are righteous and try cannot be swayed.

5. False Christians
Description
These are the 21st century version of the scribes and pharisees in Jesus era. They claim to be Christians but their lifestyle depicts otherwise. Personally, I believe it is a form of demonic attack in the church.
Origin
Most people here come from Christian homes and are graduates of the audio christian gang.
Basic Characteristics
a. They are very active in church especially in leadership and choir. You can also see them in ushering department. Pride is their hallmark. They are super proud and view themselves better than others.
b. They love attention and publicity. They can leave any church that doesn't give them a "honourable position" or "comittee" to chair.
c. Even unbelievers live better lifestyles than these ones. They are full of malice, bile, envy, anger, greed and all manner of evil you can think of. They generally lack love.
d. They have a know-it-all attitude. They believe they understand the Bible more than anyone in this world.
e. They are super mean to their househelps, employees and anyone they believe is beneath them but if you are above them, they will worship you with eye service. Instead of winning souls for God, they steal souls away from him.
f. The worst part of these group, are those who actually received anointing and call yet found themselves in this group. You will begin to wonder who really called them. It is here you will see pastors and priests who rape and commit adultery, homosexuality and all manner of sexual immorality.
Bible advise
Repent, else you will be like those recorded in Matt 7:21-23,
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Pls share more if I missed any. grin grin

The New world Order is simply is a system of the antichrist, luciferian system where every form of Christian principle are either pulled down or totally corrupted. It is a system in which man becomes their own God ( humanism) in the which mankind is ruled by only the enlightened ones( illuminati). This system is totally godless, immoral and ultimately totalitarian in nature, presently you can't disagree with popular idea or else you would be labelled as extremist or fundamentalist. All different form of political ideologies, liberation movents where created by the l uciferians to destabilise the society and from its destabilization create a new order. This is the meaning of the term order out of chaos, a whole lot is involved in the new world order but how but it is achieved in phases. All major world leaders are involved, cartels, industrialists, technocrats, the banking system.
The ultimate aim of the new world order is to do away with Judeo-christianity and ultimately God but replace it with a new system which is currently on-board which is humanism, in which human being/ his achievement/ enlightenment becomes the object of worship but guess what the beast is a human being that would worshiped, that is the reason for all these but human beings are in a great deception because they don't want the truth.
when the beast comes, he will be worshipped as God by human beings because they are already being prepared to do so but the beast will lead mankind to worship Lucifer they one who empowered him. The false prophet is going to wow the whole with miracles they have never seen so that they completely regard the beast as divine as well as Lucifer. The church has already being filtrated, many so called mega or big churches will lead their members into this one world religion, for example, see the Romance some so called Christian leaders are having with Islamist, some churches are beginning to align their doctrines to go along the new age movement is is luciferian itself. Appointing women pastors to lead churches in order to conform with the luciferian feminist movements there watering down the authority of the bible as a mere cultural and man made book that could be upgraded with all manner of different versions of bible to confuse and subvert the truth, these different versions apart from kjv where deliberated innoculated with errors, removing some part of the verses in order to lead people astray.
These times we are, are the last days, many antichrist both in the church and outside the chruch have risen and are busy working to deceive others.
you are right. the New world order has already started small small before our eyes. In America now, you dare not talk ill about homosexuality in social media. If you do, you might not survive the outlash. Even pastors there are watering down the gospel to please them. the average American believes in humanism, just be cool with your fellow humans and live a sinful life.

I grew up in a Christian home and i believed all i read in the Bible... but now i don't believe all that especially how i see Christianity and religion in general practiced in our society.
I do believe there is a God/creator but it basically ends there.
salvation is a personal race. when you die, Jesus will not ask you how the Christians around you were behaving, you will answer for yourself.

Share word of the bible with fellow christians, just like a church. Arguments/debates are allowed and no derailing or insults. Only for christians.
Seun
2 Timothy 2:14 says,  Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
vs 23 also says,  Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
Op, please edit the arguments are allowed talk out of your post. It is against the character of the Holy Spirit to engage in arguments. If you find yourself engaging in any argument no matter how good your intentions are, rebuke that spirit and repent from such actions.
Religion / Re: Share The Experience You've Had With The Holy Spirit by JourneytoEL(f): 3:56pm On Jun 16, 2020
While growing up, my church did not place much emphasis on the power of Holy Spirit. In my search for a deeper relationship with God, my spirit directed me to a midweek ministry. I was sick then with severe, irregular abdominal pain. It was there I was praying and the minister touched me, I started rolling in the floor and my tummy became hot and painful for like 5mins, since then till now, I have not experienced that pain.
The second was just last week, I went to the same church and when we were singing intense praise and worship, I started speaking in tongues unaided for the first time in my life. Even when I tried to keep my mouth shut, the words just kept blurting out. It was so beautiful and I felt some inner peace and aura, I didn't want it to end at some point but it did stop.

matt 5:22
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.
Mark 9:43-48
And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into hell, ‘where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
Revelation 21:8 
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
rev 20:14-15
Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

My Christian Brothers and sisters in the house, is smoking weed sinful and if it's sinful where does it say it in the Bible?
2 Peter 2:19 says, They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”
Jesus also said in John 8:34, Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.
Personally, I won't advise anyone to smoke, drink or use drugs because these things are narcotic and you can easily become addicted to them. And when you become addicted to them, you become its slave and when you are its slave you become a slave of sin. Why? because when you are under the influence of drugs you commit sinful things like sexual immorality, killing, stealing etc. The best way to combat it is to pray fervently and read to absorb the Word of God. I will also advise you to stay away from worldly songs and music videos that increase the urge in you. Stick to praise and worship songs. Whenever you have the urge with a strong resolution say, I bind you demon with the Blood of Jesus and have faith that it Is gone. Stay away from bad friends too.
Romans 6:16 says, Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

I gave birth last month via CS due to how I put to bed I couldn't breastfeed my baby that day so he was introduced to Formula even though I wanted Exclusive Breastfeeding for 6 months.ever since I've been feeding him with both breastmilk and formula.

My mother isn't in town so I had to go stay with my mother-in-law sister since my mother in law is not in the country so she can bathe the baby since I'm a first-time mother but I noticed each time I want to breastfeed my baby she's always inconvenient telling me I shouldn't spoil him with breast because he will get used to it.since 3 days I noticed my baby doesn't want to be fed with the formula he will push the feeding bottle out with his tongue and start crying so I decided to breastfeed him this morning then my mother-in-law's sister came from nowhere and yanked the baby out of my hand while Breastfeeding him and started shouting the baby must eat the formula that I must not breastfeed him,she fed the baby with the formula with force till he slept off

Mothers pls is this right?I gave birth to him don't I have a say over him?is it true too much of breast will spoil the child as she claims?pls I need your advice
Jeez, as a first time mom, you need to understand that most older nigerian women are actually very ignorant and always want to stick to their old way of doing things. Even my hubby's granny told me not to give my son eggs so that he will because thief grin grin.
Google has to be your best friend for now followed by a well educated midwife or paediatrician. Learn to stamp your foot on the ground and insist on what you want while correcting her with love.
pls note, exclusive breastfeeding is the BEST for your child. between the ages of 0-6months, your child should not be taking formula. If you think I am lying, check the bottle of your formula milk, it is boldly written there. You should only give formula milk to your child if the breast milk is not sufficient for him. Bonding with your child is very important at this stage. Cuddle your child and bond with him. If she tells you otherwise, say no ma, it is my child and I want to bond well with him. I will advise you to leave and look for your own relatives if she continues proving too difficult to unlearn these things so she does not spoil your name among your in laws.

I'm begging you in the name of Our Lord, pls don't curse him. It is very possible he does not even know why he is did what he did. The enemy already have alot of people in his captivity so cursing him will only increase his bondage. Remember what 2 Cor 4:4 says, The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. You don't know which of the gods have blinded him, cursing him will only put him in more captivity. Best is to pray for him or just ignore him. Looking forward to reading about your vision.

Naijaman672:
Good Sunday Morning Nairalanders.

I will just go straight to the point by talking about the points instead of my whole story which is meant for series (lol)
I was born in a Christian family. Though my maternal parents family were Muslims (not very religious) my paternal were devoted Christians. Lived with my uncle (who’s a deacon, his wife also a deaconess), for a while growing up. They maltreated me and my siblings so much that I started questioning what they believed in, add to my dad’s way during the church service and after church service that I started having so much doubt about Christianity.
Many years later. I started learning about God my own way. I remember there was a time I fasted for 3 days for a breakthrough and honestly I can attest that my prayer was answered. I went to church on the 31st December 2010 and prayed to God that I wanted my own apartment in the following year. To my surprise I got a 3 bedroom apartment February the following year. Many things happened, got introduced to all sorts by friends and I started loosing touch with my faith.
(I am a Virgo so I kind of scrutinize everything being a perfectionist). Fast forward couple years back; I started going to church again somehow the junior pastor whom was also a friend wanted me to start dating the secretary of the church because I donate to the church a lot (I was into yahoo and I was driving a big car, both the senior pastor and the junior never asked what I did for a living though I assumed they knew) but they respected me a lot in the church above many people I met in the church (I didn’t even attend this church for 3 months all together) Everything was good, I didn’t care what happened in the church or what any of the elders think though I was a part of the elders and I was barely 25 at the time. It’s a big church (A new age church) Then the event of the junior pastor asking me to start screwing the secretary whom was couple years older than me happened. That was the moment I got fed up with church. Now I have stopped scamming, I stop making money from it. Every single part of me believe so much in God but not Christianity I don’t know if that even make any sense, because I stumbled on a book by Thomas Paine called “Age Of Reason”.
Now why am I writing all these?
I’m at a point in my life that I am so confused, I feel like nothing is working for me and everything in me keep telling me to mend my relationship with God but I stop believing in Christianity and the Bible. I know God answers prayers. I am convinced that my encounter with God and the miracle I experienced weren’t just coincidence. But it seems these days God doesn’t listen to me and I think it has everything to do with my faith.
I don’t know if anything I wrote make sense but
In a nutshell; For strong believers whom know God. How do I find my way back to God and build my faith back? I didn’t write this to get to front page but to help my life back on track.
Thanks for the good contributions in advance.
Despite all the negatives you witnessed, you are still interested in knowing God. I really do commend you for that and I believe God has serious plans for you that is why you are restless. I was in your shoes early this year, so I will share what worked for me. First, pray to God that you want to develop a deep relationship with him and he should guide your path. Next look for a bible believing church that preaches holiness and the work of the Holy Spirit (genuine prophecy, healing and deliverance). God led me to a very small ministry close to my house and it has been building me up spiritually. They don't have any branch but based on my research I will advise you to try the following: Dunamis, Overcomers, Deeper Life, Mountain of Fire. Also, I will advise you not to get too close with those in charge of your church, attimes getting too close to them can make you see their flaws and lose faith as a Baby Christian, unless the Holy Spirit directs you to be close to them.
You need to understand one thing right now, God is always happy when someone seeks his face. The way you looking for him is the same way he is fighting his way to your heart. I will also advise you to download the following with immediate effect. Do a Google search for "naija sermons Apostle Joshua Selman messages on growing spiritually". you can also download those on the Holy Spirit and revival. download Paul Enenche's messages on the same topics too.
Download the following books: Kenneth Hagin- triumphant church, growing up in the spiritual, anointing of the Holy Spirit, How to pray and as many as you can read.
I will also advise you to read mysterious secrets of the dark kingdom (the battle for planet earth) by J.P Timmons. It will give you an idea of how the battle for souls look like. When I read this book I was scared of sleeping in the dark for some days sha grin but it helped me know when the devil is at work.
Most importantly, read your bible every day and pray like twice a day. You can also recite psalms 3, 16,20, 35,51,91,121 according to your schedule. I will also advise you to stick with a daily devotional, personally I use Our daily manna. And, very importantly, download lots and lots of gospel songs and praises on your phone. Try to play them as often as possible. They help in lifting your soul. Last but not the least, try to preach to others. You don't need to go to the streets, you can start with WhatsApp messages and status, from there FB or IG or YouTube or even nairaland. The more you preach, the more the Spirit of God will fill you. May you succeed in your quest. Amen.

It depends on your ideology as a genuine Christian. A true Christian should not be too sad when a fellow Christian dies, because he believes she is with the Lord in a place a million times better than this earth. And, that place is the real home of true Christians. That does not mean he won't grieve, he probably is still in the denial stage of losing a loved one. I'm very certain that he has been crying himself to sleep and probably questioning God. I thank God for the Grace he gave to him to bear the loss. It is only the Grace of God that will make you mourn for a loved one with peace in your heart and not feel depressed. If you are reading this remember you will die one day, do you want your family to be at peace like this man with the consolation that you are in heaven? Or do you want your family to be in constant grief because they are almost certain you are in hell? The time to repent is now. Remember, there is no repentance in the grave. RIP Ibudun.

Religion / Re: What To Do In My Confused State! by JourneytoEL(f): 8:35pm On Jun 14, 2020
Naijaman672:
Good Sunday Morning Nairalanders.

I will just go straight to the point by talking about the points instead of my whole story which is meant for series (lol)
I was born in a Christian family. Though my maternal parents family were Muslims (not very religious) my paternal were devoted Christians. Lived with my uncle (who’s a deacon, his wife also a deaconess), for a while growing up. They maltreated me and my siblings so much that I started questioning what they believed in, add to my dad’s way during the church service and after church service that I started having so much doubt about Christianity.
Many years later. I started learning about God my own way. I remember there was a time I fasted for 3 days for a breakthrough and honestly I can attest that my prayer was answered. I went to church on the 31st December 2010 and prayed to God that I wanted my own apartment in the following year. To my surprise I got a 3 bedroom apartment February the following year. Many things happened, got introduced to all sorts by friends and I started loosing touch with my faith.
(I am a Virgo so I kind of scrutinize everything being a perfectionist). Fast forward couple years back; I started going to church again somehow the junior pastor whom was also a friend wanted me to start dating the secretary of the church because I donate to the church a lot (I was into yahoo and I was driving a big car, both the senior pastor and the junior never asked what I did for a living though I assumed they knew) but they respected me a lot in the church above many people I met in the church (I didn’t even attend this church for 3 months all together) Everything was good, I didn’t care what happened in the church or what any of the elders think though I was a part of the elders and I was barely 25 at the time. It’s a big church (A new age church) Then the event of the junior pastor asking me to start screwing the secretary whom was couple years older than me happened. That was the moment I got fed up with church. Now I have stopped scamming, I stop making money from it. Every single part of me believe so much in God but not Christianity I don’t know if that even make any sense, because I stumbled on a book by Thomas Paine called “Age Of Reason”.
Now why am I writing all these?
I’m at a point in my life that I am so confused, I feel like nothing is working for me and everything in me keep telling me to mend my relationship with God but I stop believing in Christianity and the Bible. I know God answers prayers. I am convinced that my encounter with God and the miracle I experienced weren’t just coincidence. But it seems these days God doesn’t listen to me and I think it has everything to do with my faith.
I don’t know if anything I wrote make sense but
In a nutshell; For strong believers whom know God. How do I find my way back to God and build my faith back? I didn’t write this to get to front page but to help my life back on track.
Thanks for the good contributions in advance.

1 Corinthians 6:13 

“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

2 Timothy 2:22

So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
Religion / Re: Is Too Much Profit A Sin? by JourneytoEL(f): 8:16am On Jun 14, 2020
Personally, a gain of 300k is not greedy or sinful because it is not excess. Remember, you did not add shop rent, shop maintenance costs, staff salaries, tax etc. Besides, you did not state how long it takes to sell it all off. If it takes 2 months to make a gain of 300k on a product, it means the business is not yet successful sef. The bible is against using false scales and Cheating People and also against inflating prices to frustrate people. Eg garri that is normally sold for #500 per paint because you heard the government is introducing a lockdown you sell that same stock for #1500 per paint.
