Does Obama have a testimony or a confession of faith? I would like to know.

You seem to be genuinely interested, from a Christian perspective, about Obama’s ‘Christian life’. Only the Lord knows where Obama’s heart truly resides concerning Christianity and whether or not he is a Christian. From THAT standpoint, it’s none of our business. Obama, however - to enhance his campaign to be elected president - made public pronouncements as to which religious persuasion he wanted us to believe he followed.

You used the terms ‘testimony’ and ‘confession of faith’ which indicates to me that you are probably a Christian. If this is the case, you will have a clearer understanding of Obama’s ‘spirituality’ upon learning that he had also made public pronouncements of his belief that his soul cannot be saved except as part of ‘collective’ salvation, i.e., ‘all-or-none’. He also has said he doesn’t know if there’s a life after death. He has publically described Islam as having been ‘revealed’ - terminology no Christian would use. Obama has demanded a cross be covered, because he wouldn’t tolerate its presence near the podium where he was to speak. His ‘Christian’ experience and development took place in Jeremiah Wright’s church - where Obama and all others were indoctrinated with Wright’s James Cone- based teachings that God truly loves only the black race; that God hates ‘whitey’; that true religion/spirituality cannot exist or be genuine other than through the black African perspective. Obama was a Wright [former Muslim] acolyte for 20 years, which indicates he was in agreement with Wright’s agenda - in spite of Obama’s protestations that he never heard a word Wright preached.

An illuminating place to start in researching Obama’s possible, or likely, spiritual beliefs is his June 2009 Cairo speech to the Muslim world. If you have a knowledge of Christian doctrine, and knowledge of Islam - and parse every sentence of that speech from the perspective of Christianity and of Judeao-Christian biblical history - with eyes open concerning the teachings of Islam - you will probably have an uncluttered understanding of where Obama’s spiritual heart lies.
