Don’t think you’re a Christian because you were born in a so-called Christian land;

Don’t think you’re a Christian because baptized by ministerial hand,

Don’t think you’re a Christian because confirmed when reaching youthful age;

Don’t think you’re a Christian because enrolled on denominational page.

Don’t think you’re a Christian because you attend church service regularly;

Don’t think you’re a Christian because you give your money liberally.

Don’t think you’re a Christian because you repeat The Lord’s prayer as ’tis known;

Don’t think you’re a Christian because you teach a Sunday School Class of your own.

Don’t think you’re a Christian because orthodox is the sect to which you belong;

Don’t think you’re a Christian because you join the choir in sacred song.

Don’t think you’re a Christian because ordained to publicly preach and pray;

Don’t think you’re a Christian because you are praised for clever things you say.
