Bible Question (short): Who are the "SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS"? |
Question (full): Hello, Kingsknight; You are right about faith being a gift of God. And It is no doubt true that many non-Christians, many who call themselves Christians but are not, and perhaps many authentic Christians don't understand that. But I am curious about the "SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS" you refer to. Who are they? I assume they're not people who have a saving faith in Christ but may have missed this point of doctrine. Please enlighten me. Thanks. Peace and grace, Steve |
