This according to the fallacy does not meet the requirement for the no true scotsman arguement. (Read the discussion protion of the artical)I read it, but the section you told me to read sounds exactly like what I said?
I'm confused about this so let's start fresh. From what I see, if someone deconverts then they were never a 'true Christian', correct? If so, then why?
Quote:That's just it I won't know for sure till the day of my judgement.Fair enough. That's very humble of you.
Quote: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.Hmm this is borderline trying to exclude me from the 'true Christian' club.
