Just a few comments about the video posting above:
This is a very interesting "Christian reversion to Islam" video by the way.
What was interesting is that at approximately
2:04 she admits to not being a Christian: “I’d tell everyone I was a Christian, but I wasn’t Christian. I didn’t do anything Christian-like.”
Then again at approximately
8:34 she discusses her father’s "Christian faith": “My Dad is a Christian…he’s his own Christian. He’s not Baptist, he’s not anything like that. He doesn’t attend church. He reads a book that tells him how to read the bible.”
From my own experience and what I’ve witnessed here (and in numerous similar videos posted on these boards and online), she and her family were/are nominal Christians that claimed affiliation with the Christian church but didn’t really attend a church. Attendance does not make someone a Christian nor does claiming affiliation with a Christian church or organization.
People become Christians because they admit their sin, wholly accept Christ’s sacrifice on calvary’s cross and claim him as savior and live out their lives according to his will and purposes. They are deemed righteous and thereby justified before the the throne of God and sanctified for his purposes.
Romans 10:9
9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit (as if attached by the soul to God) and know without any doubt they are saved and aligned with Jesus Christ our Lord, God and Savior.
At approximately
7:31 she expresses something very telling: “I wake up in the morning I sort of have to somehow tell myself I’m a Muslim…..I actually have to remind myself I’m a Muslim. I almost have to wear my hijab to tell myself I’m a Muslim…..I don’t know when that’s gonna go away…..I want to wake up and know I’m Muslim instead of telling myself I’m a Muslim.”
I just found that interesting.
