In the closing verses of Matthew, Jesus gives a directive to His disciples known as “The Great Commission.” He calls us to “make disciples” of all nations. But what defines a “disciple?” And what demonstrates that you are one? In today’s study, Pastor Gary differentiates between a convert to Christianity and a disciple of Christ. Becoming a convert can happen in a moment, but becoming a disciple of Christ takes a lifetime. Find out in today’s study what it means to be a disciple of Christ.

Thank you lord for lostcome to you lord our work never done
Exactly. Not everyone who is "Christian" is (follower of Christ/disciple) but every disciple of Christ is a Christian.
Thanks pastor G for once again pointing out the major differences.
Have thoroughly enjoyed every sermon preached during the Study of Matthew. I enjoyed a lot of Ahha moments. Thank you Pastor.

VERy GOOd MESSAGe PASTOr GARy GOd BLESs YOu.👍
Your awesome. Thank you
Over the course of listening in to your sermons, I have changed my mind on alter calls. Especially when that call outlines a true call to repentance and belief. Not so much the ones that are very vague hoping to see more and more hands go up. It’s the latter that made me feel alter calls were bad altogether. Thankful for you Gary.
AMEN 🙏

Christ is lord he died on the cross for your sins. The punishment for sin is the lake of fire. But Christ took the punishment for your sins so you wouldn’t have to go the lake of fire. Christ is the only way to get to heaven put your faith and trust in him to be saved. ♥️
The Gospel is in
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
1¶Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
2by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you-unless you believed in vain.
3¶For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
This is 'splitting hairs' surely? Since Jesus said "Turn around" ( go in another direction & follow Jesus) ( matt 18:3) This involves a form of 'converting' and THEN becoming a 'disciple of Christ'. So biblically we can say that BOTH terms are acceptable. We foten use the term 'converting to suggest 'changing' the use of something. ( The same principle applys to the word 'religion' 'sect' cult' they can all describe a Christian! ( see Acts 24:14. Acts 20:22.)
Many convert to Jesus for money in my country but do not pray to him or accept him as God in their heart. Tell me does that make them a follower of Christ or disciple?
Well they won’t be the same if they have a touch from Christ ( monetary or spiritually), but conversion is real submission lifestyle fully to Christ.
Did he just mock Meghan Merkle ? 😮 He should care whether she has accepted Christ.
