What's with blurring the lines between those who claim Christianity and those who actually practice it? We've had a couple of recent examples of you guys assuming everyone who claims to be christian happens to be Christian just on their proclaimation. Why is this? I have brought up that Christ himself says in Mat 7 that not everyone who claims to be a follower is indeed a follower. What's more he even went so far as to say even some of those who do great things in His name are followers of Christ. But only those who do the will of the Father.

This means that a Follower of Christ is one who follows the instructions given to us to follow. Not anyone who just calls out 'Lord, Lord.'

I hope none of you think that God is bound by your understanding of some death bed effort on your part to keep you out of Hell.

You practice a sport, your practice a skill, you believe in a god, nothing to practice about blindly swallowing something.

Now if the rituals in religion I guess you can "practice", but that to me would be like reciting a Vulcan prayer at a comic book convention.

God is an empty concept, there is no evidence for any god claimed in our species history.
