This is a very insightful article thank you. You state "Christians are those who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ but do not necessarily accept the indwelling Biblical principles of “Christ in you.” Simply put, these people follow Christ’s teaching instead of releasing Jesus from within AS the teacher." Christian is meant to mean being anointed by God's holy spirit hence the prefix Christ and in being Christlike, recreated into His image and likeness exemplifying Jesus, his character nature person being & authority not bearing or taking his name in vain or in hypocrisy through having undergone powerful genuine authentic repentance Godly sorrow, being completely undone from having been lost and in habitual sins coming to the fullness of understanding of all Jesus did by his sacrificial crucified life death burial resurrection & ascension to their rebirth first in their spirit then into their soul, to the deep inner workings of metamorphosis of radical transformation of changes cleaning the inside of the cup which is evidential also to the outside, recieving Gods empowering Holy spirit a renewed mind, a circumcised heart, regeneration & the sanctifying process, having the washing of the water via the word & through Jesus' precious blood....and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians. Acts 11:26

My question to you is why don't they release Jesus from within their spirit and soul-their mind will and emotions saturated by Him hence like you state releasing Jesus from within to outwardly AS the teacher, or accepting Christ in them, or of biblical principles? Why is this not happening? And why do they then choose to call themselves Christians? When clearly they are not? This is not a rhetorical question I am genuinely asking as I have been wondering this for an incredibly long time. Are they not fearful of the living God to lie to themselves and others??
