    Not so. Anyone who does God's will is spiritual. Have you obeyed
    Jesus' words at Mt 6:9 and made God's name hallowed? Have you prayed
    for God's kingdom to come? These are necessary things Christians are
    supposed to do.



    "Spiritual" means showing love, joy, peace, longsuffering, patience, >goodness, gentleness, meekness, self control, etc. (1 Corinthians 13; 1 >John), not seeking after or faking the signs and wonders by which God >already confirmed the gospel millennia ago (Matthew 12:39; Matthew 16:4; >Hebrews 2:3-4).

    Sounds about right.

    That was not my statement. That's Robert. Pay attention.

    Jesus' words at Mt 6:9 and made God's name hallowed? Have you prayed

    Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (rCa), and God
    raised Him from the dead?

    That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death
    satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John
    2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your
    sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.

    On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on
    the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name
    of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
