How do you define a Christian? Do you know one when you see one? How do we discern a Christian from a non-Christian?
What does "the world" consider a Christian to be?
I am asking all of this because I don't want to speak out of terms. As many have mentioned, you don't know the "heart" of someone though you can see their actions. Is that enough to discern whether or not they are a Christian (in the case of maybe wanting to date?).
I know we are not to judge but is saying whether someone is a Christian or not judging? Don't we need to make this "decision" in some cases?
Just looking for some loving discussion around the topic.
