The "ex-Christian"

This is just going to be a short blog.


First, in order to become a Christian, something supernatural must take place. The Bible tells us about what will happen after we get saved. We will recieve the free gift of the Holy Spirit. It's a dramatic change in one's life. Now, the skeptic might argue that he or she thought this happened to him or her, but they could of been delusional. They will argue that the Holy Spirit doesn't exist, so therefore, some other answer has to be correct. But how sure are they of this? And it's not a simple matter of "thinking" you were saved. You will KNOW when you are saved. So, if the skeptic is now saying that they thought they were saved, yet they don't believe in the supernatural now, then it follows that the supernatural never existed and they never became a Christian in the first place!

Second, scripture tells us what happens when one becomes saved. Ephesians chapter 1 says that God predestined us to come to Christ that we are sealed in the Holy Spirit. So, ex-Christians can't exist then. The only alternative answer is to say that the one who is claiming to be an ex-Christian, never really was a Christian. That person, was really never saved.

Now I know I have no business telling them what they are and are not and I know I am arguing from my personal Christian beliefs. But the reasons why I think an "ex-Christian" is an oxymoronic term is for the reasons I have stated above.

God bless.
