Definition of a Disciple - Pastor Griz

A disciple is someone who believes in and follows/lives like - Jesus (we are talking a Christian context right?) in a personal relationship that aligns itself with the teachings of the Bible.Considering that 9 out of 10 young people (93 percent) consider themselves to be Christian by the age 13... Of those who say they are Christian, only 4 percent would say:*They have made an important personal commitment to Jesus Christ and believe they will have eternal life solely because they have confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior*Affirm the accuracy of all biblical teachings*Have a personal responsibility to share their faith*Believe that they are unable to attain eternal salvation except through the grace of God through Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection*Believe in the nature of God as the creator and sustainer of all that exists*Believe in the existence of Satan (God’s enemy) is a real being*Taken from George Barna, Transforming children into Spiritual Champions, Regal Books Ventura, CA 2003 pp. 33-34I’d say if the majority of Trinity’s young people were discipled to believe like this we would have some kind of awesome church! Sending out missionaries, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists etc....
