Christianity was never meant to be a "Passive" type of religion like the religions of the world.
Our Lord designed it to be a living active faith that brings others to the door of eternal life.
A Reminder For Those Who May Need It...
“All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus Will Be Persecuted.”
2 Timothy 3:12
2 Timothy 3:12

Essentials and Nonessentials
In The Christian Faith
Nonessentials: are the subjects that do not affect a person’s salvation and could possible include pre or post-trib rapture, worship on Saturday or Sunday, musical instruments in the church, the charismatic gifts, worship styles, dress codes, haircuts, etc. Unfortunately, the disagreements that arise around these subjects result in denominational fragmentation.
Essentials: of the faith would include who God is, who Jesus is, salvation by grace, and Jesus' resurrection. The Bible tells us that these doctrines concerning God, Christ, salvation, and resurrection are essential to the faith. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that Christians know their faith and know how to defend it against the doctrines that compromise the essentials.
"Now, brothers, I have applied these things
