You need to try skipping some of those theology books and cult books and get back to the Word. He will help you see the truth. I believe Thompson is a Christian because he has done what the Bible says is necessary to become a brother in Christ. I’m sorry if you do not believe the Gospel. Hopefully, you will come to a better understanding of the Word soon.

You said — “I believe Thompson is a Christian because he has done what the Bible says is necessary to become a brother in Christ.”
The trouble is that he doesn’t know what the Gospel or the “good news” is... If one doesn’t know what the Gospel is, one cannot choose to become a Christian. One cannot choose what they do not know. It’s that simple.
