Hello there. There are so many group of religion professing that they are christians. I just want to know the basis of your doctrines/teachings according to bhe Bible. Because in the Bible, in Mat. 28:19-20 it teaches us to observe "all things" what Jesus Christ have commanded. Are you following this, all teachings of Jesus Christ? I have cited below of some Christian act and please cite some verses to support your belief;
*how do you pray
*contributions/alms
*your fashion/wearings/dress code
*name of your church
Good day to all.

Hi,
I hope that you realise that all the things that you mentioned does not make a person a Christian. It is faith in Christ and being a follower of Christ that makes one a Christian.
"For it is by grace that you have been saved through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - and not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8,9
Good day to you, too.

Good day to you Andria Toh. Nice to hear you. You know I'm a bit meticulous person when it comes to the word of GOD or when speaks of salvation. I just want a precise explanation in your statement that the things that I mentioned does not make a person a Christian. Let's take a look in Acts 11:26 that Apostles assembled themselves and taught much people in Antioch and the disciples were called Christians. So what they have taught to them? In Mat.28:20, Jesus instructed His disciples to teach all nations to observe all things that have commanded to them. and one of his teachings is how to pray; Mat.6:7-9. You have mentioned Ephesians 2:8,9 yes I believed that. Could you please explained further about this verse in being a Christian?
