They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
\nII Timothy 3:5 (NLT)<\/p>\n

Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.
\nTitus 1:15 (NLT)<\/p>\n

Such people clam they know God, but they deny Him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.
\nTitus 1:16 (NLT)<\/p>\n

\u2018These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.\u2019
\nMatthew 15:8 (NLT)<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m not changing my position on this. I\u2019d die before taking your money. I\u2019m giving nobody grounds for lumping me in with those money-grubbing \u201cpreachers,\u201d vaunting themselves as something special. They\u2019re a sorry bunch, pseudo-apostles, lying preachers, crooked workers, posing as Christ\u2019s agents but sham to the core. And no wonder! satan does it all the time, dressing up as a beautiful angel of light. So it shouldn\u2019t surprise us when his servants masquerade as servants of God. But they\u2019re not getting by with anything. They\u2019ll pay for it in the end.
\nII Corinthians 11:12-15 (MSG)<\/p>\n

Someone may say, \u201cI am a Christian; I am on my way to heaven; I belong to Christ.\u201d But if he doesn\u2019t do what Christ tells him to, he is a liar.
\nI John 2:4 (TLB)<\/p>\n

If anyone claims, \u201cI am living in the light,\u201d but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness.
\nI John 2:9 (NLT)<\/p>\n

So if we stay close to Him, obedient to Him, we won\u2019t be sinning either; but as for those who keep on sinning, they should realize this: They sin because they have never really known Him or become His.
\nI John 3:6 (TLB)<\/p>\n

Oh, dear children, don\u2019t let anyone deceive you about this: if you are constantly doing what is good, it is because you are good, even as He is. But if you keep on sinning, it shows that you belong to satan, who since he first began to sin has kept steadily at it. But The Son of God came to destroy these works of the devil. The person who has been born into God\u2019s family does not make a practice of sinning because now God\u2019s Life is in him; so he can\u2019t keep on sinning, for this new life has been born into him and controls him, he has been born again.
\nI John 3:7-9 (TLB)<\/p>\n

So now we can tell who is a child of God and who belongs to satan. Whoever is living a life of sin and doesn\u2019t love his brother shows that he is not in God\u2019s family; for the message to us from the beginning has been that we should love one another.
\nI John 3:10-11 (TLB)<\/p>\n

\u201cNot all who sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to Me as \u2018Lord,\u2019 but still won\u2019t get to heaven. For the decisive question is whether they obey My Father in heaven.
\nMatthew 7:21 (TLB)<\/p>\n

At the Judgement, many will tell Me, \u2018Lord, Lord, we told others about You and used Your Name to cast out demons and to do many other great miracles.\u2019 But I will reply, \u2018You have never been Mine. Go away, for your deeds are evil.\u2019
\nMatthew 7:22-23 (TLB)<\/p>\n

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, (that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior), he is a new creature (reborn and renewed by The Holy Spirit); the old things (the previous moral and spiritual condition) have passed away. Behold, new things have come because spiritual awakening brings a new life.
