The wicked will still do evil, they will have no understanding but the wise will have it. The Lord is righteous, He loves righteous works. Once you have the light, keep faith in the light and you will become a child of light.

O house of Jacob, come and let us walk In the light of the Lord.

Isaiah 8:20 NKJV To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Isaiah 42:6 NKJV
"I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, And will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, As a light to the Gentiles,

Isaiah 49:6 NKJV
Indeed He says, 'It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.' "

Tony x 3 . You really need to study to show yourself approved, instead spamming this message board with your way off views of who you believe is and is not a Christian. God knows the hearts of people(unlike you),and just because you do not see what you want to see in others,He is the God who really see's(Gen 16:13).


1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge,( or if you like all the correct doctrines )but have not love, I am nothing.

There is the Church visable, those who claim to be Christians and the Church invisable, those who God knows are Christians. It's not really our job to be judging this. If I have a neighbour who claims to be a Christian but actually isn't I can only pray that God can use me in some manner in helping to bring this person the real faith.
