“Does saying, ‘I am a Christian’ make you a follower of God?”
1 Jn.2:9-Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.
What if you volunteer a lot for church activities?
The evidence is in one’s life. Good works don’t save you, they are inevitable. If you have a reputation of hateful actions, you don’t get it.
Can you do good works and not be following God, then? Yes.
Can you have a lifestyle of bad works and be a Christian at the same time? No.
How can you tell if you are just falling into sin sometimes, or if it is the pattern?
Are we supposed to make it our job to judge who is saved and who is not?
No.
When is it okay to contemplate?
