Was reading in Pink how there are several kinds of Christians. There's the Church-made Christian-- he gets sprinkled at birth or not at all, and presto--Christian. Then there's the self-made Christian-- he decides he is one, even though he is a natural man who has no concept of things spiritual, and is like the little girl who came home and told her mommy that she was the smartest kid in the class. The mommy says "I'm so glad to hear it! Did the teacher tell you that?" "Oh, no", she said,"Well did you win some awards, gold stars?" "Oh no," she said. "Well how do you know you are then?" "Oh I found it out by myself", she said.
Then there's the God-made Christian. The only reason he is one is because of God's grace.
Eph 2:8 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
