LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN TEST - EXAMINE YOURSELF

 10 Question Test - "Examine Yourself" with God's Word - 2 Corinthians 13:5

BY MARTHA MAC / SO4J.com ®  / SO4J-TV

LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN TEST is a 10 Question Test to help you to: "Examine Yourself" (2 Corinthians 13:5) with God's Word, to see if you are a Lukewarm self-deceived so-called "Christian" (Apostate) OR a true Christian. What is a Lukewarm Christian? LUKEWARM CHRISTIANS are FALSE CONVERTS— they are UNSAVED People who: THINK, TALK, LOOK like they are Saved (Revelation 3:14-22, Matthew 7:21-23)— which is DIFFERENT than a: DISOBEDIENT Christian/Believer like King David and/or Peter was at one time (1 Thess 5:14, Psalms 51).

• 2 Corinthians 13:5 "EXAMINE YOURSELF to see if your Faith is Genuine. TEST YOURSELF. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have Failed the Test of Genuine Faith."
  
• 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 "If we would EXAMINE OURSELVES, we would Not be JUDGED BY GOD in this way. Yet when we are JUDGED BY THE LORD, we are being DISCIPLINED so that we will NOT BE CONDEMNED ALONG WITH THE WORLD."
  
• LUKEWARM "CHRISTIAN" VERSE: Revelation 3:14-22 (NASB) JESUS says, ““To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this: ‘I know your DEEDS, that you are neither COLD nor HOT; I WISH that you were COLD or HOT. ‘So because you are LUKEWARM (i.e. BAD WATER), and neither HOT nor COLD (i.e. GOOD WATER), I WILL SPIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH (i.e. Perish in Hell). ‘Because you say, “I am RICH, and have become WEALTHY, and have NEED of NOTHING,” and you do NOT KNOW that you are WRETCHED and MISERABLE and POOR and BLIND and NAKED, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may BECOME RICH, and WHITE GARMENTS (i.e. the Robe of His Righteousness Isaiah 61:10, Rev 21:2) so that you may CLOTHE YOURSELF, and that the SHAME of your NAKEDNESS will not be revealed (Matthew 22:11-14); and eye salve to anoint your EYES so that you may SEE. ‘Those whom I LOVE I REPROVE and DISCIPLINE; therefore be ZEALOUS and REPENT. ‘Behold, I stand at the DOOR and KNOCK; if anyone hears MY VOICE and OPENS the DOOR, I will COME IN to him and will DINE with him, and he with Me. ‘He who OVERCOMES, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. ‘He who has an EAR, let him HEAR what the Spirit says to the churches.’ ”
  
• Matthew 7:21-23 (NASB) JESUS says, "Not everyone who says to ME, 'LORD, LORD,' will enter the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, but he who does the WILL of MY FATHER who is in HEAVEN will enter. "MANY will say to ME on that DAY, 'LORD, LORD, did we not PROPHESY in YOUR NAME, and in YOUR NAME CAST OUT DEMONS, and in YOUR NAME PERFORM MANY MIRACLES?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I NEVER KNEW you; DEPART from ME, you who PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.”

INTRO TO THE LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN TEST: Please Note that SO4J-TV understands GRACE. We understand that Christians are not perfect— they still Sin once in a while (so to speak)— 1 John 2:1. This below TEST is NOT about being Legalistic. As we shared above: "We're Not Saved by Works (Legalism), but our FAITH is PROVEN (show evidence, FRUIT) that we are SAVED by our WORKS (James 2:14-20, Matt 3:8). If there is No Obedience to Gods Word (1 John 2:3-6), out of a Love for Jesus (John 14:15, 21,23), and one Continues IN Sin (1 John 3:8-10) then we'll have to Face the Terrifying Consequences of Heb 10:26-31 which Jesus Warns us about in Matt 7:21-23 where MANY UNSAVED People who THOUGHT they were Saved will spend Eternity in Hell. Once again, this is called APOSTASY— which is a REJECTION or DESERTION from FAITH in JESUS & GOD'S WORD. Where people HEAR & RESPOND to the Gospel by making a "DECISION FOR CHRIST" or "PROFESSION OF FAITH" (like JUDAS - John 12:6). False Converts come to the EDGE of Saving Faith— but they eventually REJECT or WALK AWAY from the Truth when Tested with the CARES & LURES of this Life, PROBLEMS (Matt 13:19,21,22) etc. A False Convert named Demas in the New Testament is a Good Example of that. Demas made a "DECISION FOR CHRIST" became a Fellow Laborer with the Apostle Paul, Mark, and Luke in Philemon 1:23-24 — but when Tested with the "Cares of this Life" Demas did not Endure (Matt 10:22) in God’s Word— Read 2 Tim 4:10. Jesus warns us over and over again about True & False Conversion i.e. the PARABLE OF THE SOWER: Matt 13:3-23, Mark 4:3-20, Luke 8:5-15. Jesus warns too that "MANY" people will PERISH, and FEW (Percentage wise) Truly become Born Again— Matt 7:13-14, Matt 7:21-23, Luke 13:23-30, Matt 22:14, Phil 3:18-19. God's Word says that we can know we have Eternal Life (1 John 5:13) if we Keep His Commandments (1 John 2:3-6, John 14:15, 21,23, John 8:31). In 2 Cor 13:5 & 1 Cor 11:31-32 it says to EXAMINE OURSELVES— TEST OURSELVES with God's Word and make sure we're Biblically Saved. That is what this Lukewarm Christian Test seeks to do. SO4J-TV is reaching out to those people who Call themselves Christians— yet use the Grace of God as a License to Sin (Rom 6:1-23). We are concerned that there are MANY so called "Christians" (Matt 7:21-22, 23) who are NOT ready to face Jesus on Judgment Day (Heb 9:27). We are aware of the imperfections of this Test. This is simply a Tool to help us to Examine Our Faith with God's Word (2 Cor 13:5), and make sure that we are Biblically Saved, & Ready to Face Jesus on Judgment Day (2 Cor 5:10).
