I'm posting this reply on behalf of someone who doesn't wish to be named:
1. The Macmillian dictionary defines "unbeliever as "someone who does not believe in God or in a religion". If these people who do not believe, yet claim to be Christians, they aren't being true to themselves and to God. Therefore, there is no such thing as unbelieving Christians, because they would sum up to be unbelievers.
Those who believe, they are believers. Those who do not believe, they are unbelievers.
2. Yes, talking is one thing, practising is another. Just as talking about ice cream is one thing, eating it is another. Talking about driving is one thing, driving a car is another.
3. Your last post tells me that you do not know our pastor. He does not even have to "profess" to be speaking on grace, because he IS speaking on grace, and sincere about it. He talks about grace, and practices it. If you believe in something, you would talk about it enthusiastically. If you know something is good for your friends, you would not hide it from them. A mother who knows that vegetables are good for her children, would keep on telling her children to eat vegetables, wouldn't she?
Therefore, what right do you have to tell someone who you do not know and do not understand what he is actually doing, to stop doing something which is good. Just as if you want to tell a teacher who does not teach you to stop teaching Maths, when she specialises in it, and her classes are excelling in their Maths. Either you are jealous of her students, or you just hate that teacher for reasons you do not have, since you do not know how she teachers, nor do you know her.

And... these are my comments:
Whether you are or not from our church... if you disagree with any messages or have any grudges against any of our pastors, or our cg members, or even christians in general... I suggest you read the bible more often. I believe you will find your answers there. You can't dispute against God's word.
THIS APPLIES TO ALL OUR CG MEMBERS AS WELL.
We need to know God's word well too, so that we know what to reply and know how to discern what's good/bad for us when people like ask_fer_it (and really IS ASKING FOR IT) and time_to_blow (quite obviously the same person) pose questions such as these.
And, if you have any problems whatsoever with our pastor... I suggest you don't come to our blog and make a whole lot of noise as it won't satisfy you neither will it do good to our cg members.
Finally...
Here's something my dad was sharing during our family devotion. Thought that I might just share it here.
James 1:19-20
Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. (NIV)
So...
If you (blow whatever) are writing those for whatever reasons known to yourself out of anger... I suggest you take some time to think about what you've said and the impact it has on others.
If you (whoever else reading) get angry at what he is saying... then I will also suggest you take some time to think over what he's said before flaring back at him without thought.
:)
IN CONCLUSION...
Let's all pray for one another, and not talk bad about each other.
God bless!
