It can sometimes be difficult to identify a true Christian vs. a fake Christian. There are many sheep in wolf’s clothing. They claim to know God, yet they do not live biblically and they are not a reflection of Jesus. Today we will look at what signs, actions, and characteristics define a believer and what actions define an unbeliever. Lean in, listen, and learn how to tell the difference between a true Christ follower and a fake.

2. ​Surround yourself with likeminded people 
3. ​Look at peoples fruit / Their character - not what they say.
