🫡 THE GR8 AWAKENING 🔆
Is this a Christian movement. Yes I know there R many that are and even some that don't yet say they are..and we invite them in all the same. So I'm curious how you all see things.
You can't just become one IMO, you have to develop faith.
Working on that.
It’s a free gift….Accepting is all that is needed…. To start anyway.
You become a Christian the minute you choose to follow Jesus Christ and confess to him. Read the gospel. If you don’t have faith ask him for it and he will provide.🙏
It is more the instant you understand that Jesus paid the punishment for all our sins so we can accept that and be cleansed.
7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11For there is no respect of persons with God.
-exerpt from the book of Romans chapter 2
If you have a "patient continuance in well doing", ie, regardless of whether you believe any religion or not, you at least believe we should love one another and do well; (as opposed to being a selfish piece of shit); you will be led to the one true God and His Son Jesus Christ! God sees our hearts and knows who would want to be with Him.

That's a very good advertisement for Christianity fren!
If it helps, I was always Christian by identity, and most of my life in belief, but I came to faith through, initially through Stefan Molyneux’s wrestling with it from an atheist perspective, which got me thinking about the practical aspects of it, rationally, through a philosophical lens.
The traditional Christian conflation of “belief” with “faith” is very harmful to showing things to a lot of people. “Faith”, aside from possibly being the name of a pagan god, whoops, is intended to mean “obedient action”. I did not learn it through the church, but through studying and listening to the scriptures like a child and asking “why” all the time when things did not make sense. Everything should be grounded in the Word, while seeking context and understanding.
A lot of people would, and do, tell me that I am misinterpreting things, but let each man be convinced in his own mind. It is definitely a wrestling match, against false assertions, twisted meanings, mistranslations, lost context, and more, but the Truth can, and will, eventually prevail. By my estimate, the commandments are just, not burdensome, produce good fruit when followed, and a can be found to lead to prophetic fulfillment.
As for my belief, that came long before my faith, and was bolstered as a result of having witnessed and experienced and heard of several miracles, but it might be possible to find it through faith, and faith and grace (also might be the name of a pagan god) are available to everyone.
Thank you fren!
Faith is not required first and for me at least took a while after belief. But the more my faith grows the better life seems to be.
