Now is the objection to being “religious” born out of a notion unless you have a “personal” relationship with Jesus that you are not a real christian?
I was wondering cause the other day on the news some ball player was talking about how he now had a saving faith an was a better man, but later in the interview the anchor asked if it was because of his religious conversion and the player got a little snippy and said it was cause of his faith not religion.
I don’t know, to me it seems that religious convictions are born out of our faith. I mean if you pray to GOD your being “religious” aren’t you?
