Communicating with Him

[FallentoReason]

How so? there are very finite and well defined parameters to define Christianity and the Christian faith. The no true Scotsman fallacy does not contained documented parameters.

Looking back at your first response to my post, I think I took it the wrong way and jumped the gun. My apologies.

But now you know that I was a reborn Christian, so if you were to say from now on that I didn't know how to do it or I wasn't doing it right then I think that falls under the No True Scotsman fallacy because you're excluding me from 'true Christians'.

In Luke the parable explains in great detail the premiseise in which you are to approach God and at the end issues a promise. (One you can hold God to) Mat's account does not.

Ok, fair enough.

I spent 8 years as one and truly believe I was as lost then as i was before I went to church. your work does not make you Christian. It is a matter your heart.

For we are told: 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Here Christ describes those In the Faith who have done all of the Big ticket showings of christianity, and yet still do not know God. Again it is a matter of your heart and not your works.

James 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Apparently to show you have faith you still need to do works.
