I(Mikal) am a Christian

I accept most of these terms, but would like to address what a Christian is How do you become a ChristianRomans 10:13 - For whosoever calls upon the name of the lord shall be saved [1]This does not necessarily mean living a perfect life , at the moment you call upon Christ and accept him into your heart you are saved. We know this by the thief on the cross. He called upon the name of Jesus, and Jesus accepted him into heaven in his last few moments alive. My adversary must acknowledge this as well. Even in the bible it is reprehensible to question someones faith. Romans 14 verse 1 "As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." [2]It is almost impossible to say someone is not a Christian because it is a personal faith between you and God. There are countless secs in Christianity that all have different beliefs, but they all have one thing in common. All you must do is accept Christ and love him to be saved. MyselfI am a 25 year old guy who loves Jesus. I was raised in a Pentecostal church and eventually turned over to baptist. After many years in a baptist church, I converted to the reformed faith due to my Pastor Todd and Chris having long discussions with me about it. My best friend Derek eventually went into college to become a pastor and after that I felt motivated to do the same, but with an angle on apologetics and mission work. I was planning on finishing up my four year degree and transferring to south eastern bible seminary to obtain a degree in mission work along with another degree in apologetics. Some of my favorite authors are John Piper and Mark Driscol. Both of whom hold to the reformed faith and have put out amazing books. I also like reading ST Augustines early works since it had a strong influence on Calvinism. I decided not to dump near 100 grand into getting a doctorate in apologetics and went back to college for accounting because it was cheaper. I still have a deep passion for studying the bible and looking into all types of religion. I believe studying the bible should be done with hermeneutics[3]. This is the art of text interpretation. This is basically saying the bible should be read in the context in which it was meant to be read. The author had a set meaning for what he wanted to say in the text, and we should read it with that in mindand example of this is a letter Paul wrote to the church in corinth. Paul tells the women in the church to be quiet and not speak in church and most people read this literally and assume paul is telling all women not to speak in church or to have no roll in church. This is not he case, he was just telling the women in that church to be quiet because of the issues they were causing in the church. I am a CalvinistI hold the doctrine of the elect or reformed theology. Meaning I believe one does not have a choice in whether they are saved. I have tried to run away from Christ before but have been dragged back to him countless times. I hold to the fact the Tulip Is accurate [4]T - Total depravityU - Unconditional electionL - limited atonementI - Irresistible GraceP - Perseverance of the saints. These five points break down to the fact that God calls you to be saved, and once he calls you there is no saying no. Once you are saved your are his forever and you can not be unsaved. I originally had no desire to be saved, but God gave me a beat down and I finally conceded to him. I opened my heart and mind and accepted him as my Lord and Savior Praise Jesus. Can I get an Amen?Being a Christian is completely dependent of youSomething we must all admit is that this is a personal relationship between you and God. My adversary does not know me personally or know my heart. My relationship with God is my own, and there is no way for him to show that I do not love or believe in God. My ProfileMy profile verifies this. I have also taken a numerous amount of debates for God. My adversary assumes because I take up debates that try to disprove God that I am not saved. This is quite simply Called playing devils advocate. Here are some of my debates in favor of God and show my reformed faith as well.http://www.debate.org...http://www.debate.org...http://www.debate.org...ConclusionI am a Calvinist and a Christian. My adversary has no right to claim otherwise , my faith is my own. [1] http://biblehub.com...[2] Romans 14[3] http://plato.stanford.edu...[4] http://www.calvinistcorner.com...
