What is a Native Christian? Native Christian is a funny name that came up during a Bible study last year. We used the term to define people who don't really know why they are "Christian" - - and quite frankly, they most likely are not. They are simply identified with Christianity because of their parents, or because they go to church on the weekend for social activity, or because they want to be the same as others... for a variety of different reasons, they identify themselves as a Christian.
Are YOU a Christian simply because you were born into a Christian household? Have you ever considered what it means to actually be like Christ?
Are you "Christian because your parents are Christians?" Are you a "Christian" because "you were raised in a Christian house?" If someone asked people who know you, what would they say about you? Do you KNOW if you are really a Christian?
How can you really know if you are a Christian?
This blog will be dedicated to the following:
- Spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ
- Determining the difference between a "Native Christian" and a sinner who has been reborn and regenerated to new life
- Discussing and answering questions about Christianity and refuting some common myths and misunderstandings about the Bible
- Addressing problems with other world religions and other cults that claim to be of the Christian Church
- Addressing current social/political issues from a Biblical and Christian world-view
This blog will not do the following:
-Engage in hostile argumentative debate or allow offensive or inappropriate comments. If you are simply here to pick a fight, or if you just want to make rude inappropriate comments, they will be removed immediately and ignored.
I hope you enjoy my blog, for whatever its worth to you, and I although I am no scholar, no professor or high profile pastor, I hope that I can communicate with you all in a direct and effective manner that is edifying to you, and glorifies the Lord!
Thank you, and God Bless!

MacArthur vs. Barry Lynn
John MacArthur takes on "pastor" Barry Lynn and explains why without the understanding and belief that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, one cannot be legitimately called a Christian.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
