As Christians we often say or claim to "believe in Christ".
What must we do as christians to prove worthy of that claim?
Is there some basic requirement or requirements that we must meet to be worthy of our claims to really believe in Christ?

Post #3From an outsider's point of view it would require a suspension or rejection of all disbelief. However, this would require a justifiable reason, which I, personally, have not seen. Not saying there isn't any, just that, to my knowledge, it hasn't surfaced.Revelations won wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 11:19 am As Christians we often say or claim to "believe in Christ".

Post #4To believe in Christ means to accept him as our Lord and saviour. We show we have done this when we imitate him to the very best of our ability and obey his commandements.Revelations won wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 11:19 amIs there some basic requirement or requirements that we must meet to be worthy of our claims to really believe in Christ?

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Post #7I don't think anyone must prove they believe in Christ. I think, to truly be a Christian, a disciple of Jesus, one should remain in the word of Jesus.Revelations won wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 11:19 am As Christians we often say or claim to "believe in Christ".

...in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians.
Acts 11:26
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
