No. The church is a new creation (2 Corinthian 5:17). The true church-the believer is neither Jew or Gentile. The church age believer is church. The body of Christ. Royal family of God. The true Jew was a Jew in the Age of Israel who believed in Christ (Romans 9:6). Once the church is raptured and the Tribulation begins, which is the last 7 years remaining to Israel, the true Jew will be a decendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who believes in Christ.

Well, a disciple of Christ is as you've described it. A Christian is simply anyone who has placed his faith in Christ for salvation.

Every disciple is a Christian, but not every Christian is a disciple.

Every disciple is a Christian, but not every Christian is a disciple.
The commandment Jesus gave was plain and straightforward: Follow Me

Hence following Jesus is being a disciple....if you're not following Jesus (being faithful & obedient to God as Jesus was ) than you're not a Christian....you can't separate the two.

Only those who obey can believe....and only those who believe can obey.

Thank you Raelyn. You're in.

I find nothing wrong at all with the website and love the quizzes it has on there. I think most people are having problem with the fact that the word of God is inerrant and all believers in Christ should attend church.

All Christians should find a church that teaches the word of God.

Heb 10:24-25 'and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25) not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more, as you see the day drawing near.

The Bible is inerrant in the original languages. People should realize that God is quite capable of preserving His written word down through history. I know though that many who profess to be Christian think the Bible can't be trusted. It absolutely can be.
