I'm sure we can all agree that one can be religious and not be a True Christian. I'd like to hear from others on this matter.
In short, someone who is religious puts their faith in laws, rules and traditions while a true Christian relies on their faith in Christ and him alone.


God bless

To me, being "religious" is believing in and practicing the set doctrines and standards of a given church, denomination, or religion. Having faith in Christ, as I understood it was having a "personal" relationship with Jesus that transcends religion. When I left the UPCI I began to actually develop a "personal" relationship with Jesus. And since then I have learned many things.

Today, I'm still spiritually evolving and progressing beyond being "religious". I'm now discovering the inherent worth and truth found in all spiritual paths.

Re: Religion and Faith.

Having faith in Christ is a religion. There are others.
