Hi Contendah,
You tell me, "For the record, I AM a 'Christian believer,' although that term seems redundant, since there is no such thing as a 'Christian non-believer.'"
True, there is no such person as a "Christian non-believer" -- but, there are atheist believers, i.e., those who believe in and follow the teachings of the religion of atheism; there are New Age believers, i.e., those who believe in and follow the many New Age religions; there are world religion believers, etcs. Virtually all pagan, cult, and world religions have believers who follow them.
So, saying I am a Christian believer, i.e., one who follows Jesus Christ is not redundant. It is a proud declaration that we follow the ONLY path to eternal life in Christ, that we follow the ONLY Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Now that I have covered that smoke screen. I AM A BAPTIST. HOW ABOUT YOU?
As I said earlier, if you are ashamed to admit which church you attend, or if you attend a church -- maybe you need to reexamine that church or yourself.
There is another gentleman who has been on the Religion Forum for years who had the same problem as you -- absolutely refused to tell us which church he attended. Finally, after a very long time -- he admitted that the last time he had been inside a church was so long ago, he was not sure how to find the door. I keep telling him that he should not wait until six strong men take him inside a church again. Does this all sound strangely familiar to YOU?
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
