1 | How many types of Christian's? | Acts 11:26 | New Creature | 105908 | ||
How many different types of Christian's are there? I realize that there are those who profess to be Christian's but who actually are not what they profess to be. Many call these people false professor's or counterfeit Christian's. Below is a list that I have made. Look at the list, and please indicate by your reply whether or not you believe that it is possible to be labeled any of the following and still actually be an authentic Christian. (1) The Carnal Christian - see 1 Cor. 3 - also called "infants in Christ" and "worldly" (2) The Complacent Christian - self-satisfied and unconcerned (3)The Cultural Christian - They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them. As the Christian culture around them is more or less holy, so these Christians are more or less holy. (4)The Compromising Christian - one who surrenders his principles (5)The Casual Christian - also could be called the occasional Christian, superficial, not serious. Shows little interest, nonchalant and irresponsible. Puts forth little or no effort (6) The Counterfeit Christian - a forgery, an imitation of what is genuine. Feigned, a false copy, hypocritical. One who acts or pretends to be something their not (7)The Closet Christian - I also call him the lone wolf. Has little or no fellowship with the flock. New Creature |

Christian has only one "type" a true Christian a followers of Christ. Christian the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch. The names by which the disciples were known among themselves were "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints," "believers." But as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name "Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This name occurs but three times in the New Testament (Ac 11:26; 26:28; 1Pe 4:16). You list is unbiblical, christian means a follower by Christ, if a person belong to a christian denomination is wicked, he is not a christian. Mt 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. God bless, |
