If you consider people Christians based on church membership you’ve missed the point big time.

Christians are followers of CHRIST, not a denomination.

Once again you cannot address the argument I made, but instead try to defeat one of your own construction.

I never said people were Christian based upon their church membership, but have consistently maintained that one is a Christian if they ask for forgiveness for their sins in the name of Jesus the Christ.

But the other poster thinks that the past Popes are all (or mostly) burning in Hell because of Catholic theology, and you weighed in on their side of the argument.

So apparently one can NOT be a Christian based upon their church membership? And unless they reject Catholic theology they are destined for Hell?

By disagreeing with the above argument I am NOT arguing the opposite; that one CAN be a Christian based entirely upon Church membership?

Is that a difficult concept for you to grasp?
