A faker is defined as someone who presents a false or misleading representation of themselves or someone who is not authentic or genuine, a sham.
Many church members today are fakers. And the person they fake out the most is themselves. They believe they are saved because they prayed a prayer, or walked an aisle, or raised a hand, or were baptised, or whatever— yet true salvation never took place. They became part of the great throng of baptised, unsaved, church members.
How? How can that be? Because they skipped a key step in salvation. They went from God’s effectual call straight to conversion without the sovereign act of regeneration taking place.
And that makes them a faker. And being a faker is a terrible place to be.

Do you ever have a transcript of your podcasts? I can’t find the time to listen to them, but would love to be able to read what you’ve said. Thanks
Kelly,
Thanks for your comments. I am in the process of getting some of them transcribed. I’ll let you know when I get all that worked out.
Hope to talk to you again soon.
Steve,there is no time in eternity..that is why the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world makes sense..it is only NOW in heaven..http://www.raystedman.org/authentic-christianity/time-and-eternity
Jim,
So true. But there is time here and sometimes it helps to understand the process of salvation by looking at eternal events as they happen to us… in real time. That was the point I was trying to make.
