About 5 years ago I wrote the following: “I didn’t like the idea of the Christian religion hijacking the label ‘Christian’ from those of us in the body of Christ, so I hung onto the title for a long time (it feels like I was one of the last to keep using it, although I’m… Continue reading Yes, members of the body of Christ are Christians

Salvation today under the Gospel of the Circumcision
With regard to the last article I published, I know many members of the body of Christ believe that one can’t be saved under the Gospel of the Circumcision today, instead believing that one can only be saved under Paul’s Gospel right now, but passages like John 3:16 and John 20:31 combined with Romans 10:9-13… Continue reading Salvation today under the Gospel of the Circumcision
Most Christians are required to do good works for salvation, but not all Christians are
I can’t give an exact number, but I’d guess that about 99% of Christians (including all the Mid-Acts Dispensationalists who do understand that there are two Gospels but who aren’t Biblical Universalists) have actually been saved under the Gospel of the Circumcision rather than the Gospel of the Uncircumcision (also known as Paul’s Gospel). Simply… Continue reading Most Christians are required to do good works for salvation, but not all Christians are
According to the Scriptures
When discussing the meaning of Paul’s Gospel, there are four words which we often don’t say much about in the discussion, but which people also often wonder about the meaning of, with those words being, “…according to the Scriptures.” The question, of course, is which passages of Scripture is Paul referring to there? Well, we… Continue reading According to the Scriptures
Why I am not a Christian
[Before getting into the details of this post, while I’m not a Christian, I should point out that I am a Bible-believing member of the body of Christ, and that, no, they’re not the same thing; we might have been called Christians in the first century, but we stopped using that label a long time… Continue reading Why I am not a Christian
Why I can’t take Christians who won’t read my writings because they’re “trusting the Spirit to guide them” seriously
When I’m trying to get someone to read my eBook or one of my articles, I’ll often get a reply like this one: I have to roll my eyes when I get this sort of response because, as spiritual and biblical as it might sound at first glance, when I hear (or read) something like… Continue reading Why I can’t take Christians who won’t read my writings because they’re “trusting the Spirit to guide them” seriously
Why I’m not Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox
[This article was first written on March 5, 2026, but I added an update below the main body of the article on March 7, 2026, in response to Andrew’s reply to it, as well as a second update below the first update — this one on March 14, 2026 — in response to Andrew’s reply… Continue reading Why I’m not Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox
Nobody is actually in Adam
There’s a very common idea that a lot of Christians, and even many members of the actual body of Christ, refer to, which is the idea that one is either “in Adam” or “in Christ.” They get this idea from the fact that there are multiple verses in the Bible which do refer to being… Continue reading Nobody is actually in Adam
If you’re waiting for the Rapture, read this before it’s too late
If you’re a Christian looking forward to the Rapture (or the Snatching Away, as members of the body of Christ generally refer to it as), I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that, contrary to what many Christians believe, the Rapture is indeed a real event, and… Continue reading If you’re waiting for the Rapture, read this before it’s too late
God actually IS the author of confusion, even though He also isn’t
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV) Something you’ll often hear Christians claim in order to try to win certain arguments is that God is not the author of confusion. The problem is, while the verse that seems to… Continue reading God actually IS the author of confusion, even though He also isn’t
