##But I dont appreciate being told that Im not truly a Christian.##
Well, you aren’t.
I suspect your local body isn’t either or you would be long gone.
To John Shuck
That is the very reason Church nor rituals can save any one as God reads the hearts and minds.
You are not the lone ranger, there have got to be a pretty good percentage of both preachers and congregation who do not believe but only go for gain of some kind.
Some to get filthy rich, others just for a secure income and others for social status.
I believe that is the reason God tells his people to come out of the system of the great harlot in rev 17 and 18.
And after your confession can you deny that I have a good reason for my belief?
They have reduced church to a social club.
