They are heathen. Heathen are the unsaved, and those bound for Hell. Calling themselves Christians will not make them saved. Examine what the Bible says about heathen cloaked under the name \u201cChristian\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Heathens are sometimes called Christians or God\u2019s people. <em>\u201c\u2026 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.&#8221; Amos 9:11-12<\/em> &nbsp;This verse is speaking of a time not yet come, but the principle applies to these latter days. Not all that claim to be children of God are children of God<\/li><li>Heathens pray. <em>\u201c\u2026 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.&#8221; Matthew 6:6-7<\/em> &nbsp;It is ironic that the outline for prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) that follows these verses is what many so-called \u201cChristian\u201d faiths vainly (without thought or meaning, empty of feeling) pray over and over again.<\/li><li>Heathens have religion also! <em>\u201c\u2026 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.\u201d Matthew 15:7-9 <\/em>&nbsp;There have always been those that believe themselves to be children of God, but were not. It was the religious that had killed Jesus and persecuted His followers.<\/li><li>Heathens can think God is using them. (However, &nbsp;many times Satan, the deceiver, is blinding them, and deceiving them with false miracles from \u201cGod\u201d.) <em>\u201cWherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me , Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.\u201d Matthew 7:20-23<\/em><\/li><li>Heathens can go through religious routines and rituals. <em>\u201cThen shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.&nbsp; There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth \u2026 and you thrust out.\u201d Luke 13:26-28 &nbsp;<\/em>They went to the house of God, but that didn&#8217;t make them His.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many are religious, but lost.&nbsp; People may think they are Christians, but may not be. There is only one way to be a child of God \u2014 God\u2019s way.<br>\n  <em>\u201c\u2026 Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\u201d John 3:3.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you &#8220;born again&#8221;? Are you going to Heaven, God&#8217;s narrow way? Or are you a heathen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>November 11, 2000<\/em>, <em>Updated 7\/18\/2016 (dv)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lesson was featured in <a href=\"https:\/\/openthoumineeyes.com\/views11\/BibleView328.pdf\">The Bible View #328<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/openthoumineeyes.com\/lessons\/innameonly.html Christian In Name Only Bill Brinkworth Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, andmany there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that&hellip; <br \/> <a class=\"button small blue\" href=\"https:\/\/awarningministry.com\/index.php\/2020\/02\/03\/christian-in-name-only-by-bill-brinkworth\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,12,3,40,42,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-warning-ministry","category-biblestudy","category-salvation","category-sin","category-soul-winning-missions-evangelism","category-wolf-watch"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
