3 Different Types Of Christians

The reason I am writing this article is because I was talking to a friend the other day and what he said to me hit me in a spot and It felt like something was telling me to write it. My friend said, "I am not a Christian." Lately it's been happening a lot more than normally. People are starting to feel better about saying their not a Christian. It's good they feel like they can stand up for what they believe in but bad they are standing up for the wrong things.

So I responded to my friend with, "So you're not a Christian? You don't believe in God? You don't believe that he sent him only son to die for our sins so that we could go to heaven? Then what do you believe? He continued with, "No, I believe everything any other Christian would believe but I don't live right."

My only thought is "How are you not a Christian if you believe in everything we believe in. Then I got to thinking. You know I believe there are three types of Christians out in the world. There's type A, B, and C.

Type A: Is like my friend. He believes in God. He believes in everything the bible says. He just doesn't live right. So he doesn't categorizes himself as a Christian. He hasn't asked for forgiveness even though that's all he has to do. He isn't living life as a Christian. But does that mean he isn't a Christian?

Type B: I know many people like these types. I'm sure you do to. They believe in the Bible and they believe Jesus died on the cross for our sins. They believe all they have to do is ask the Lord to forgive them for their sins and they can do whatever they want because they are forgiven. But is that how Christianity works?

Type C: Is the ones who believe in the Bible and who has asked the Lord to come into their hearts and forgive them of their sins. After that they try their best to live life right. They live their life like a Christian would.

We are human. We are far from perfect. If we decide to ask the Lord into our hearts and to forgive us of our sins then we are suppose to try our best to live life right. To live like a Christian. It's that easy.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
