    Good morning! My birthday is June 22 by the way. I found it interesting that our birthdays were pretty close!

    Hello. I strangely can't write more than one character per line.

    Anyway, kind of cool. In elementary school I was always a lonely kid who didn't even have any other names listed for my birth month as written around the room, so I am glad for the company in June

    Ok, I am back in town, but been pretty overwhelmed. Spent all of last Sunday night in the ER with my mom. Thanks to God she will be OK, though it's been a rough week.

    Gonna be out of town this next week so please respect that I won't be on here to answer near as much if at all.

    Why is my spiritual status listed as 'unsure' as opposed to 'Christian?' Am I a follower of Christ? Absolutely. Am I a Christian? That depends on your definition since I follow Christ not Christendom, and the longer I follow him, the more the two diverge.

    1) Why my unsure status? The term has become varied in its definitions. Is it someone who goes to church, believes certain doctrines, is pursuing God, or who has Holy Spirit?

    2) Because God is doing new things and this goes beyond Christianity as it has been known, just like Christianity went past Judaism as it had been known. If that sounds heretical, that is why I can't comfortably call myself a Christian any more

    You have no reason to worry about me. I know the Lord Jesus very well, but the term 'Christian' has come to mean 'follower of Christiandom' rather than 'follower of Christ.'

    There is more to my response than that, in that in following Christ, God has taken me to some pretty surprising places. But I'm not willing to get into that right now. Rather I will invoke what the disciples said in Acts 5:29.

    I understand what you say here and I've heard people say the trust in Christ alone but then they aren't Christian. I think you might be saying that maybe from your experience or something else Christians seem to put the fact that they ARE Christians and that they are part of the Christian faith above God, is this correct? Or is it something different?
