 For instance, a person can pray and not necessarily be a Christian. Polls show that nine out of 10 Americans pray. The reality is when you're in trouble, most people pray, right? I know I did before I was a Christian. If I was in a crisis, I called out to God. I even called out to Jesus. I had no relationship with him. But that doesn't mean you're a Christian. That just means you're calling out to God.
