Maybe you should read up on what it is you think no true scotsman fallacy is really about. You have failed to meet the criteria for christianity. This according to the fallacy does not meet the requirement for the no true scotsman arguement. (Read the discussion protion of the artical)
Quote:Are you a Christian?That's just it I won't know for sure till the day of my judgement.
Quote:Good explanation. I agree, because this is what I saw happening in my life.But the requirement for a Christian is not a one time showing of this type of faith. it is over a life time. Hence "On that day." that Christ reffers to in Mt 7.. (The day of your judgement) This means you have to live our your life exhibiting this type of faith consistantly. otherwise even a life spent going through the motions of faith will not be enough. Per Mat 7.
