The person being discussed identified that they were not worshiping the God of the bible, and that they did was driven by a personal sense of spirituality loosly based on christianity.
All I did was pair that admission with what the God of the bible had to say about that condition.
Quote:How many Christians do you know that knowingly worship a god that is not represented by the bible? Every Christian thinks they have the correct interpretation...and that is all that is required. Is to be all in, and humble enough to change if and when in your worship you come across a thou shalt not.
The only time one falls under what Christ describes in Mt 7 is when that person openly ignores a thou shalt not in their worship, or is simply going through the motions of Christianity..
By motions I mean to say one can fervently and with great zeal do good things in the name of God as Christ points out. But, they do not have nor ever really established a relationship with God.
