It’s probably been the case for a long time. Just that right now it’s out in the open.
Our Lord DID say that salvation was a narrow path, after all.
If Our Lord was teaching something that wasn’t true, then He could not have been a “great teacher.”
So, at least 30% of all Evangelicals are not Christian. Nor are they Evangelicals. They are heretics and apostates.
Indeed. Those with ears, let them hear.
Someone who fails to believe such a fundamental tenet of Christianity is not a Christian. At best, he is a theist; at worst, dishonest.
And everyone gets a mansion when they die.
Believing isn’t knowing.
As long as God made Jesus the sole means of salvation it’s a distinction without a difference if he is actually God or was just given the power over our salvation by God. Either way you need Jesus.
Jesus said, in Luke 18:8....When the Lord returns will He find faith on the Earth”?
So He knew what it would be like, just like He knew who Judas was when He took him into the group.
True.
It’s just that there are a lot of people in the past who would claim to believe that Jesus is Lord with their mouths, but did not really believe that God raised Him from the dead.
The difference between then and now is that it’s more obvious who is and isn’t.
No Christian denies the Trinity. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and denies the Holy Trinity is not a Christian but, an apostate. Period.
In the latter days...
Before Abraham..
Thats about all I have to say.

If Jesus were merely a good man as some claim and as many in this survey believe, then He had a sin nature and was not perfect. In that case, His death and resurrection would have no power to save anyone.
These people don’t know the Bible, or they don’t believe it. Some day they will be very surprised.
ok when you hear people talking abput the fake christians, think back to these people
C’mon man. Three persons in one substance, and Jesus Christ is true God and true man. It’s all in the Nicene Creed. Orthodox Christianity 101.

Unfortunately, they don’t teach the Fundamentals of the Faith in many churches anymore. It’s always about the music and feeling good and getting a spiritual high.
No, that’s not what I am saying. If everything else is true about Jesus (virgin birth, without sin, etc), but he isn’t “technically” God, but instead was just given dominion by God over our salvation. It changes nothing. In the end you still need Jesus to be saved. The fact that he is sitting at the right hand of God and isn’t God himself isn’t pertinent to salvation.
