He behaves like a nominal Christian and like many he believes he is a Christian because he was baptized and confirmed rather than having faith.

You can see inside his heart? Not all faith manifests as evangelism. From what I’ve heard about Donald Trump, the father, husband, and boss; he is a very good and loving man. Are those not fruits of the spirit? The body has arms and legs and ears and eyes. And, yes, it has a-holes too.

As a Christian who understands biblical Reformed theology, I do not judge a person’s faith. But I know that if they seek Christ, then they have faith and if they have faith they have the Spirit and if they have the Spirit, then they have Christ.

Not every Christian is a bible-thumping Baptist, or a soup-serving Wesleyan, or a dour Presbyterian. But Jesus is still Jesus for us all.
