A false convert is someone who is excited about heaven, but bored by Christians and the local church.
A false convert is someone who thinks heaven will be great, whether God is there or not.
A false convert is someone who likes Jesus, but didn't sign up for the rest - obedience, holiness, discipleship, suffering.
A false convert can't tell the difference between obedience motivated by love and legalism.
A false convert is bothered by other people's sins more than his or her own.
A false convert holds grace cheap and his own comfort costly.
If you're reading this list and recognize these wrong beliefs and practices in your life then consider your conversion. Consider your repentance. Consider your faith. Talk with another mature follower of Jesus and share your concerns. Come talk with me. As Peter encouraged us in Second Peter 1:10, "...give diligence to make your calling and election sure."
