True believers, true christians terms which seem to be undefined.

***True believers/True Christians are not undefined. The Bible. Perhaps more shoukd consult the Bible, themselves, and not ask others to answer their questions. God's Word will answer all of one questions when they allow themselves to "listen" to what is being said. ***

Just how is true believer hood ascertained?

***Believer hood? Belief, is the term.

Let me pose an analogy for your consideration, Dirt.

'A man of little faith went to the men's restroom on a restaurant. How did the man of little faith know to go to the men's restroom to relieve himself?'***


What is the criteria for judging the truth of someone's belief?


***Humankind is not the judge of religious faith: God is.***




What is the litmus test for true christianity?

Litmus tests have been proved fallible. God's "test" is infallible."

Orwell, so right about so many things (he is my favorite novelist), is utterly wrong here. Orthodoxy requires a lot of reading, listening, studying, and thinking. Christian orthodoxy is a deep well of spiritual riches, and the more we learn and know, the more there is to learn and know.

See cup, ludlow says you are not a "true christian" unless you happen to be catholic.

Ah now you say that belief in jesus is the qualifier yet you earlier said FJO was not a true christian. Yet from reading FJOs posts I think he does believe in jesus therefore by your definition he is christian yet you call him "not a true christian".
So in essence your "true christian" is determined by you and no one else. Reminds me of a book when I was in school "Catch 22" It is a meaningless classification to anyone other than the speaker.

a true christian, what is that? one who believes in God? one who believes in Jesus? i think a true christian is one that follows the word of God and puts others before thereself

Always a loophole isn't there , Lud??

Sounds like a lawyer, or something political, Lolololololol

Those who never heard the name of Jesus, but who loved God as best they could, will be saved. This is what the Church calls "baptism of desire"---these people would have believed and would have been baptized had they known that was what the Lord wanted.

I might add Urantia is an attempt to bamboozle the masses. It does so with long strings of noble meaningless sounding word salad.
It is meant to sound scientific but fails miserably to any thinking person with any reasonable scientific knowledge.

I have read enough (here in this forum) to come to the conclusion that I do not need to read it.

You don't have to eat a whole pie to tell it's no good, sometimes one bite tells you what you need to know.

I understand all the rationalizations. It's fine. No one wants or expects anyone to believe something they haven't read. In fact, that's our unofficial "motto": "You have to read it to believe it." And in that way, the book is self selecting since it's 2000 pages and requires a serious person to start and finish it. Non serious persons are automatically screened out.
