Is there such thing as a lukewarm Christian (a Christian, not a churchgoer)?

[Omegaman 3.0]

I know there are tares, I know there are self-deluded people. My question is there a person, who has saving faith, who is lukewarm. Can a person actually grasp what God has done for him/her, in Christ, and lack enthusiasm about it?

I think there can be lukewarm that are church goers.

To whom much is forgiven much loves.  To whom little is forgiven little loves.

To their own master they stand or fall.

Who are the tares and the self-deluded people?  Are these not the ones that have one foot in Zion and the other foot in Babylon still?

 Revelation 3:17   Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

The luke-warmers whether they are church goers or not, are claiming to be believers and are obviously lip servers only, who think that their material things are blessings from God, but inside they are not rich in truth. The outside of the cup looks good but inside it's dreadful.

To be found naked is to have no clothing on, no truth and no righteousness.

Revelation 19:8   And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Hi Mega,

I don't think I can lack enthusiasm about being saved ever...

It is such an unspeakable big gift that I always carry in my heart, it is my treasure, to know that Jesus loved even me , even in the dry times there is always that deep inner peace to know that Jesus cares for me and that I am His.

I am His and He is min e,how can I be silent about this!

Once I was clothed in the rags of my sin
Wretched and poor lost and lonely within
But with wonderous compassion the King of all Kings
In pity and love took me under his wing.

Oh yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King
His royal blood now flows in my veins
And I who was wretched and poor now can sing
Praise God Praise God I'm a child of the King.


Now I'm a child with a heavenly home
My holy father has made me his own
And I am cleansed by his blood and I'm clothed in his love
And someday I'll sing with the angels above.

Oh yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King
His royal blood now flows in my veins
And I who was wretched and poor now can sing
Praise God Praise God I'm a child of the King...

 

Psalm 35:9

And my soul shall rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in His salvation. All my bones will say, "LORD, who is like You, Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him, And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?"…

I think that there's a full spectrum of Personality-Types in the Kingdom of God.

But when some lack in certain aspects they may excel in others... so there's a balancing-out

in the equation.

Still, there's scripture that tells us to be joyful for the gifts that we've received from God and

those people that lack enthusiasm should be encouraged by those with abundance.

Lukewarm Christians can occur in the save or lost. Simply put they have one foot in with God and other foot with the World You need to stand fast in the faith. All in with both feet.  I believe you can serve the Lord with no enthusiasm which is Sin. Whatsoever that's not of faith is sin.  Be not WEARY(lack of enthusiasm) of we'll doing because in due season ye shall reap if ye FAINT not. At this dispensation we are in the Final Ladicoen (lukewarm) church age. 

[Reinitin]

yes, I think there are look warm confessors of christianity seating in churches wearing sheep's clothing and should take heed cause The Lord said "He will spit them out of His mouth".

You don't have to go to church to on fire for the Lord, so your premise if flawed.
