Why do all non-christians think that all christians are the same? Sectarianism is a thing, anon. For my part I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to anything not actually Babylonian as Babylon. Maybe it's a fundie/charismatic thing? Those guys can get pretty weird.

That's where the problem lies, how do you know which one of you are 'legitimate christians' when there's so much room for variation and altering the rules to suit personal preferences.

I'm sure there's a gay guy who would claim he's a devout Christian despite the bible saying he should be killed.

Most humans are just delusional period.

Why are you assuming my personal beliefs? Being a Christian means that 1. You believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God, 2. He died for your sins and rose from the grave, and 3. You accept him as your personal lord and savior. That's literally it. As long as they can clear that very low bar then yes, every crackpot and nutbar out there getting weird in the woods is a legitimate Christian; they may not be very good Christians, but that's between them and Jesus. It's not my place to judge the state of their salvation anymore than it's theirs to judge me, so long as we both follow the laws of both god and man.

Retard, by your logic if a serial rapist does all three he's a Christian

Doing these three things isn't 'literally it', stop using drugs, it's killing your brain cells.

There's a lot of other stuff that violates God's law and if someone does that, they aren't a 'true Christian'

Heck in the bible it states you aren't supposed to wear clothing with blended fabrics lol. It's impossible to follow all the rules 'to a T' and everybody has their own ridiculous rules.

In denomination you can't even donate blood baka.

'That's where the problem lies, how do you know which one of you are 'legitimate christians' when there's so much room for variation and altering the rules to suit personal preferences.' Didn't you say this? Because I didn't say this. At no point in my original post did I mention legitimacy; you did that all on your own. 

>Retard, by your logic if a serial rapist does all three he's a Christian 
Yes. Yes it does. The christian faith as a whole has wrestled with that question for a couple of millennia now and the best answer any of us have is Jesus's admonishment to leave the question of salvation to god. 

>Doing these three things isn't 'literally it', stop using drugs, it's killing your brain cells. 
Yes, that is literally it. You aren't saved by works but by faith, and belief is really the only prerequisite for that.

>There's a lot of other stuff that violates God's law and if someone does that, they aren't a 'true Christian' 
That's not yours to judge. We, humans, get to judge the legality of a person's conduct, not the ultimate morality of their actions. That, again, is god's right alone. 

>Heck in the bible it states you aren't supposed to wear clothing with blended fabrics lol. 
In the Old Testament, which only currently applies to Jews and was superceded for christians by the New Testament, sure. Happily though I'm not a Jew. 

>It's impossible to follow all the rules 'to a T' and everybody has their own ridiculous rules. 
It's really not that hard. The gospel of Christ (the red lettered passages in the New Testament) is pretty straightforward: don't be a dick, be merciful but not stupid, and follow the law. Again, that's literally it. Everything else is just shit people made up along the way and mostly made sense at the time, I'm sure.

Whose second language is English?
