You may feel as though your statments are in cinflict with my belifea but they are not. A christian is someone who knows God and has accepted His death and resserrction on the cross. If you never had a relationship with Him then you were never a christian.
We're trying to tell you exactly that, Rekeisha.
We weren't just "members of a group". We really believed, as firmly as you did, that we were "in a relationship with Jesus Christ, our Savior". We spread the Gospel of the death and resurrection to others, as commanded in the Great Commission. Heck, Redbeard got a giant cross tattoo, as many of the True Believers™ do.
For you to tell us that we were never Christians is deeply insulting and frankly, it makes you a jerk to even think it.
We believed as you do. Now we do not. Get over it, swallow some pride, and get over yourself.

How do you know you believe like I do?
Just because you see me doing what you have done doesn't mean that we have believed the same. Actually there are things that I believe you don't. Like when I say that christianity isn't based on feelings. (People keep talking about believing the bible literally. I am not quite sure what you mean by that.) Those make our beliefes different. You may feel like I am a jerk but the truth is I am here to tell you about a God that loves you and He wants to save you from Hell. How you feel about me doesn't affect the truth.
