the people i know is in the one and two categories, i beleave that a person that do not believe jesus is the only way has been taught wrong all their lives, and it is sad. and i believe if a person gets born again there is truely a change in them,when jesus saved me i was at home, all i had said that day was, god there has got to be a better way to live than this, and the love of god flooded the house, i sat on the side of my bed with my four little ones hanging on to me i know they felt it to because they never said a word, i cried out to god to save me , and it felt like a ton of weight came off my body. at the time i was hooked on nerve pills, i never needed another one. i was on birth control pills, and every time i tried to get off them i started bleeding and would not stop, i had tried five times before, and that day i ask god to help me and i came off of the pills and every thing was normal from then on. the next few days i was reading my bible and i saw in it where god would fill you withh the holy ghost. i told god that i did not know what the holy ghost was but i knew it had to be good because it was from the lord, when i ask him to fill me he did, it was like heven came down on me and i could not stand up under such power. and i never wanted to do the things i had done before i was saved.god truely saved me.and i did not have to wonder.

do anyone belive in dreams, i sure do, i had a dream one night about three years before god saved me. i dreamed that i heard a noise out side, i ran out of the house to see what it was, and in the sky i saw a small cloud away off, then it got closer and in the cloud a hand came out with his finger pointing, it started on the left side of the cloud and started scaning across and when it got to me a voice said , i want you to come live for me, i woke up shaking and scared. i know it was god without a doubt. it took me three more years to come to god, if you give god an inch he will take a mile , i am saying that with all honor to him, that is how much he wants to save people.

I didn’t read the term “liturgical Christians” as a negative. I thought they were described relatively acurrately. It would only become offensive if contrasted with the term “Active”. Most liturgical Christians I know are very active.

Having said all that - I divide up the Christian community in very different ways that Zondervan chose to. Their categories were helpful to the extent that they helped me try on a new lens with which to understand my brothers and sisters.

I think the thing, that is written in this article is true. And in my church we mostly have only Private Christians, I think, and it’s not very good…
