God Bless you all
I don't know what matorzok means by "False Christian" for only he can tell us that.
But I can tell you what I know to be False Christians for most of my life I was a False Christian.
Remember that just because someone says that they are Christian, and goes to church, and spouts verses from the Bible, does not mean that they are in fact a Christian. Every church has both sheep and goats in it. Both the wheat and Tares in it. The Sheep are of God, the Goats are of Satan.
There are many who go through the motions, who do believe that they are Christians, however they have never given their heart to Jesus. They believe that just because they were baptized, just because they went to church every time the doors were open, just because they taught the Sunday school, or preached, or did so very many good deeds that they had salvation,
because they were Christians, they thought.
But these were false Christians, for they followed Religion, followed a denomination, and were not following Jesus Christ. They went to church because they were brought up to go to church. They go out of habit, they go because they believe that it is the right thing to do. They go because of what other people may think of them. They go because their friends go. They are on the most part
very good people.
I know, for I was one of them, (but I wasn't good, I was deep into the world) and it was not until I was turning 55 years of age that I actually gave my heart to the Lord God, received forgiveness, and became a Christian. Yet had you asked me, I would have told you that I was a Christian, born a Christian. But until then I was a false Christian. No one is born a Christian, and no one becomes a Christian by going to church, etc. I see it now, but I could not see it then.
Until you give your heart to Jesus Christ you are not a Christian. Not until you start Obeying Jesus Christ will you be a Christian.
You become a totally new person when you become a Christian.
