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."

The Difference Between Being A Christian And Following Christ

The Difference Between Being A Christian And Following Christ

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.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
