Nominal Christians Play Games

Nominal: being such in name only; so-called; putative: not in reality.

False Christians don't have a heart to lead someone to Christ or confess the Lord before others (Matt. 10.32-33). Only if asked by a Christian will they respond they believe because they know that's what the Christian wants to hear. They did not mention Christ all these years you knew them, nor did they rejoice when you yourself got saved. They have no passion for Christ. It is as though Jesus is dead and stayed dead to them.

They have never tried to lead those close to them who are not Christians, not even their own children or parents or brothers and sisters. They don't read the Bible. Their only friends are non-Christians. After you got saved and tried to lead them to Christ they remained hostile, but over time did an about face. They changed their story and introduced the idea of their confirmation as a child just because one time they remembered going to Church as a child. Now they can claim they got saved before you. How vain and pretentious! They don't go to Church. They have no fellowship with the body of Christ. Even when talking to them still all their opinions are so contrary to the spirit of Scripture. How utterly painful for them to hear anything about the Scriptures!

Along the way they may mention belief in reincarnation or that one should not mention Hell or that most people are saved anyway. It is Gods decision they say. Is that how you read the Bible? Why does Jesus talk about Hell so much and the clear way of salvation if that is the case? They shut their minds down, busying themselves in the world. There is no budging them. If they really were Christians, the Church would not exist for their participation is non-existent and would be a silent church.

Deu 6:4 The LORD our God [is] one LORD:
Deu 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deu 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Deu 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Deu 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Deu 6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

If you are ashamed of Jesus, He will be ashamed of you. "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels" (Mark 8.38).

I even ask them, what is the Trinity? And they don't know.

"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven" Matt. 10.32). Jesus asked, "Why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord' and not do the things which I say?" (Luke 6.46). We are to share the gospel to others. They "went about preaching the word" (Acts 8.4). Not only is a person unsaved and going to Hell if they deny Jesus before others, but also by simply not confessing Jesus publically to others Jesus denies you before His Father.

I wanted to preserve this experience I had for posterity that it may benefit others and for me to remember and not forget.

I also said, "Let's say you are standing next to James, Peter, John, Paul, and you say as you said to me, 'I don't care about anyone to give them the gospel, let them believe what they want'." Since this is not the same gospel of the Bible, I said, "Where in the Bible does even one Christian have this attitude? You are not a Christian." She said, "Fine then, I am not a Christian." I told her, "The Bible says non-Christians go to Hell." She conceded what the Bible says and I shed a tear for her.

I showed Jesus would be a liar or lunatic if he wasn't God. She said evasively "everyone knows that." I said, "if everyone knows that then why isn't everyone saved?" She said, "who cares what people believe". I said, "how is that Christian not to care for others with the gospel?" She said, "that's how I have always been"-selfish! I said, "Jesus said if you are ashamed of me and don't confess me to others, I will deny you before my Father unto salvation". It was then she admitted she was unsaved!

The reason she is unable to come out of the world (baptized) is because she is unwilling to confess the Lord Jesus towards others even her only children, not caring that they are going to Hell, including sisters, brothers, parents, friends, associates, etc. The Bible says we shall know them by their fruits. Jesus said He did not come into the world to bring families together but to tear them apart, for believers in Christ have the love of Christ to let family members know they are going to Hell.

When I got saved my mother called me "fanatical" even screamed over it. She did not rejoice. Never once did she mention Jesus my entire life. As the years went by I tried to lead her to Christ, but she would not listen. She professed reincarnation and universalism. Later on she ended up saying she was saved when she was a little girl, yet never cares to lead anyone to Christ, does not fellowship and tears down the gospel. What does Jesus say? (Matt. 10.32-33, 16.16-17; Mark 8.38; Acts 8.36-37).
