Christians check list
Christian check lists
We know that there will be "many" who think they are Christians but are actually workers of iniquity because Jesus says there will be. This simple Checklist and its links may help the individual who want to repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness understand or determine if they are really a Christian or in need of more repentance.
When people want to know if you are a Christian they often ask questions for several different reasons like:
- "Are you perfect in Christ? Are you presenting all perfect in Christ? Are you under the law? Going to let you go for now."
This approach is the same as those people who insist even demand that you answer the question, "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior?" Or "your Lord and savior?"
People think that answering in the affirmative is the way to "restore our relationship with God that has been broken by sin."
But such statements or answers alone is not how you are saved or know who the faithful are according to the doctrine of Jesus who was the Christ.
None of these approaches seem to have anything to do with the Gospel of the kingdom nor the doctrine of Christ.
As question they may present themselves as a sort of syllogism[1] which a form of reason that may or may not be valid.
Jesus was a savior who came to set the captive free.(major premise)
If you sincerely say that you accept Jesus as your personal saviour then it may be concluded that you are "saved".
Jesus was also said to be the "Son of God" which can be said to be another major premise.
While there certainly can be some validity to the question and even the answer they both contribute to an invalid conclusion.
Obviously for the questioner or answeror to have any validly they may both need to have a deeper understanding of the terms and their context.
What is the significance of the term Christ when associated with Jesus?
To early Christians Jesus was their actual king[2] who appointed a kingdom or government that did not function like the other governments of the world.
When they say Jesus was the Christ they were saying He was their king, there Lord.
By proclaiming Jesus as your, king, your Savior and calling Him the "Son of God" you were liable to eventually come into conflict with the other governments of the world.
"Why", You may ask?
Because Augustus Caesar was also called the Savior by most of the people living in the Roman Empire and one of his titles the Caesars held at that time was the Son of God.
What most of the people asking and answering these questions fail to understand is the reason there was a Christian conflict with the world of Caesar or the even the Pharisees was because the Corban of their [[tables and temples operated by means and methods that were contrary to the decrees of Christ, which are found in the doctrines of Jesus which should also be the doctrine of His Church.
People imagine these all to common doctrinal questions, which are fabricated by mostly quoting Paul, are a litmus test for who is saved, born again, or even who is true Christian as a follower of Christ.
What they forget or fail to consider is that Paul preached Christ first.
And he preached to them the Gospel of the kingdom and they received it.
Those people who Paul wrote were doers of the word. It is clear that the doctrine of Jesus taught that you had to be a doer of the word.
Doers do
- Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
- Matthew 7:24 “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
- Matthew 7:26 “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:”
- 1 Thessalonians 2:8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. 9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
Doers produce fruit
Matthew 7:16 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
And
Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
Those fruits include what they do, their works. Are their works of righteousness or are the workers of iniquity?
There are those who "argue that the essence of Christianity is not love, but is in fact the doctrine of the atonement." But can you have one without the other?
Comparison check list
This Christians check list is a comparison between what early Christians and Modern Christians with some biblical references that should come to mine.
| Might Not be a Christian | Might be a Christian |
|---|---|
| Thinks the word Christian is defined, "a person who has received Christian baptism or says they are a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings but covets the benefits of the world."[3] | Believes Christian is defined, "a person who believes in and follows The Way of Jesus Christ, doing what he said."[4] By caring about his neighbor's life, liberty and property as much as his own. |
| Says they Believe in Jesus Christ but does not do what He said. | Strives to do what Jesus Christ said to do.[5] And attends to the weightier matters. |
| Does not do what the early Church did about the welfare needs of the people in the practice of Pure Religion but sees nothing wrong with the types of welfare offered by the world. | Does do what the early Church did by providing welfare for one another by gathering in a network of tens as commanded by Christ through charity rather than force.[6] |
| Believes in Socialism to help the needy of society and because of their covetousness they are Workers of Iniquity. | Believes in Charity only to help the needy of society in the practice Pure Religion. |
| They may legally be forced to join systems of forced healthcare because they have no voluntary one in place. | They have their own system of health share based on love, charity, and would be exempt from government sponsored Health Care (like the Amish) and from systems based on force . |
| Covets his neighbor's goods through Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other. | Strives to provide a Daily ministration based on Charity by daily Sacrifice. |
| Sought a system of social Welfare like the Corban of the Pharisees or just went along and are often Workers of Iniquity. | Seeking and working diligently for a system of Welfare based on Charity alone. |
| Ministers tell the people if they need bread they can pray to men who call themselves Benefactors but exercise authority one over the other. | Ministers tell people to supply bread to the needy of their congregations by faith, hope, and Charity through the Perfect law of liberty. |
| Ministers downplay the importance of DOING the Word of God suggesting that what you think or say will save you. | Ministers tell the people that doing the will of the Father in Heaven is a sign of true faith and not doing so is a sign that their faith is dead and they are in need of repentance. |
| Ministers tell the people it is okay to covet benefits as long as they are provided by governments who take from your neighbor or borrow against the future of the people. | Ministers tell the people to provide benefits through the practice of Pure Religion and if they want Eternal life they shall not covet their neighbors goods even through the governments of the World. |
| Ministers tell the people that forgiveness simply takes place in the mind. | Ministers explain to those who were forced to pay into a now bankrupt society, that forgiveness also applies to forgiving those debts and how there is a choice to go a different way as Christ and John the Baptist instructed.. |
| Ministers tell the people to obey men who claim authority but do not tell you why your under their power even though Paul would not go under the power of any.[7] | Ministers help the congregation exercise what Jesus called the "weightier matters" so they may have a right to obey God rather than man. [8] |
| Ministers "say" to repent but do not tell you what that means. | Ministers tell you what you are to Repent of and why. |
| Ministers tickle their ears to make them feel good. | Ministers encourage them to do good and rebuke them in love when they do not. |
| These false Christians do not like to be told they are not doing what Christ said. | True Christians appreciate the truth and actually strive to do something to change their conversation in the world. |
