[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does this man have another religion or is he simply not religious?

I dated a few guys who were not religious (agnostic would be the best term for them) and they eventually did become Christian as far as I can tell.

If the guy actively practices another religion that would be different.  I guess the question is can you be together with a person who has different religious beliefs than you do.  Only you can answer that.[/quote]

I think he is non-religious, at best culturally Christian (Easter/Christmas church attendance only, for example), not submissive to the Lordship of Christ[/quote]

If he has dissimilar moral values then that would be a difficult thing to overcome.  Can you give some examples of how he is not submissive to the Lordship of Christ?[/quote]

Very moral, very "good" in the eyes of the world person, very kind, responsible.  Truth is, even if the world loves you, we have all fallen short in the eyes of God, have committed sins, ones secret, one known to others.  We need to rely on saving power of Christ to save us and fellowship with God.  There isn't evidence that he belives this, and, he doesn't go to church, has not made a profession of faith or been baptized.[/quote]

If he attended church with you and got formally baptized would that improve your impression of him?[/quote]

yep![/quote]

Then maybe suggest that he attend a Christmas performance at your church, introduce him to a few people and if that goes well maybe he might find that attending church with you is worthwhile?

If not, then you could continue to enjoy his friendship.[/quote]

good thoughts and ideas, thank you!! proactive, but realistic and uncompromising[/quote]

and also merciful, I don't need to treat him like a pariah if things don't work like as I would hope (and I am not going to have false hope that they would, God decides who to save), of course we still can remain friends![/quote]

He is your friend and you love him.  That is a gift from God :).[/quote]
