Mark 13:5-6

And Jesus began to say to them, "See to it that no one misleads you.

"Many will come in My name, saying, '(E)I am He!' and will mislead many.

Unfortunately, calling yourself a Christian and being one are two different things...a trap I myself fell into. But I'm working at it every day--these folks can, too.

Cuz the dems convinced them that Jesus was a “community organizer” just like you-know-who.

God works in mysterious ways. In the end, good will triumph over evil.

Keep the Faith.

Because far too many put party before Christ and values.

Great question. I think this is the answer:

13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21Not 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. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 7: 13-23

In short, there are a lot of people who say they are Christians. I know some people who say they are Methodist, Baptist, or Catholic, and could care a wit about Christ.

Christ has to be in someone's heart. One He is there, He starts making changes in that person. If He is only on our lips; then the person will be just like that one at judgement calling Christ "Lord! Lord!" then, and only then.

I have had people ask me "Well, how do you know they are not a Christian. One time this was concerning Pelosi, Obama, and Clinton. I said 'If they were Christians, teh Holy Spirit would be with them, and would give them the fruits of the Holy Spirit - love, self-control, gentleness, kindness, long-suffering, goodness, peace, joy, and faithfulness.

By their fruits shall we know them.
