Subject: Are there stillborn Christians? |
Bible Note: Charis, I know that there is no such thing as a stillbore Christian. Anything that the Lord does is perfect. I put this in the form of a question because it looks this way many times with people who go forward in some service to jump through someone’s psychological hoop. A lot of people think that they are saved because they walked an aisle or raised there hand or they did this that, or the other thing. All of these things are works if they didn’t truly trust in Christ at the time they did them. I ask a person one day how he knew that he was saved, his answer was that he went forward in a Billy Graham service, so therefore he must be. As far as the Bible goes, he didn’t even know John 3:16, and he was supposedly saved 15 years ago. It, pardon the expression, looked to me like he was stillborn!
