Is President Obama a Christian?

The Bible says "do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1)." As Christians, we have to follow the evidence regardless of where it takes us or what conclusions we have to make. Those conclusions may not make us feel good. They may even lead us to decisions that are uncomfortable and unpopular. But, if the truth is what we are after we have to trust God to reveal it to us. Even the contents of this video have to be searched out to see if the claims it makes are true.

Jesus said, "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.'(Mark 7:20)" We all stumble from time to time in our words and our deeds, but a constant pattern of behavior is good evidence to what a person believes in their heart. Christians are well known for our disagreements. But any Christian worth their salt doesn't deny that Jesus is the only way to the Father and that He is God in the flesh. If there were more ways to heaven than through Christ, I believe God is smart enough to reveal this to us. The Bible says that "God is not a God of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33)." Therefore, He can't possibly be behind the belief that there are more ways to Him than through Christ.

Who stands to benefit from the confusion brought on by the belief there are more ways to God than through Christ? It is Satan himself. Satan only wants two things. First, he wants believers to lose the joy of their salvation and live a life of frustration, doubt, guilt and apathy. If He can't snatch you from God's hand he will at least try to make your life miserable. Secondly, Satan wants unbelievers to stay in the dark, blinded to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Misery loves company and Satan doesn't want to be in Hell alone. Satan is the god of this world. And 2 Corinthians 4:4 plainly tells us that "the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ."

It is easy to dismiss the faith of another if we do not share the same worldview. It would be dangerous of me to make broad sweeping generalizations about another person simply because I don't share their views. Furthermore, only God knows the heart of another. But, we know that what is in the heart of someone is usually revealed in what they say they believe and what they support. If you claim you are a Christian yet deny the basic truths of the faith, what conclusion can we draw about that person other than to say they are not truly a Christian? Jesus is either God in the Flesh and the Savior of the world or He isn't. There is only one way to the Father in Heaven or many ways. Logic insists that you can't have it both ways. You don't have to believe in Jesus Christ and God will honor your decision. But, don't say that you do believe in Him as your Savior and then deny the truths which make Him a Savior. Test the Spirits and I promise you will realize that Jesus was telling the truth when He responded to the high priest questioning Him:

"The high priest said to him, "I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." "Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied." Matthew 26:63-64
