DISCIPLES AND BELIEVERS....ARE THEY THE SAME THING????

DISCIPLES AND BELIEVERS, ARE THEY THE SAME THING?
Okay I'm going to tackle this without opening my Bible.... I have memorized a lot of key verses in the Bible together with their references.
So for starters I'm just going to go on what I can remember... I've been a Christian for nearly 50 years and a pretty active one at that... It is always a good thing to start with prayer... Not just any old prayer..... But the Lord's prayer.... The one HE taught us to pray... Oh here goes!!
OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN.
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME.
THY WILL BE DONE.
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.
AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THOSE, WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US.
Hello AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
AMEN!,
Some people are of the opinion that all Christians are disciples...
LET'S START WITH A FEW QUOTES THAT ARE WELL-KNOWN.
BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALL BE SAVED. NOTHING ABOUT BEING A DISCIPLE IN THAT VERSE... EMPHASIS ON BELIEF...

SO LIKEWISE WHOSOEVER HE BE OF YOU THAT FORSAKES NOT ALL THAT HE HAS HE CANNOT BE A DISCIPLE... IT DOES NOT SAY HE CANNOT BE A BELIEVER....
THERE WERE THREE GUYS WHO SAID THEY WANTED TO FOLLOW JESUS.... ONE SAID I WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW YOU.... AND JESUS WHO KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON IS MIND.... SAID.... FOXES HAVE HOLES BIRDS OF THE AIR HAVE NESTS BUT THE SON OF MAN HAS NO PLACE TO LAY HIS HEAD....
THEN ANOTHER SAID...... I WILL FOLLOW YOU BUT LET ME FIRST GO AND BURY MY DAD.... SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY REASONABLE REQUEST..... JESUS REPLIED..... LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD BUT YOU COME WITH ME AND PREACH THE GOSPEL.... THAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MUCH HIGHER STANDARD..... THAN JUST GOING TO A WEEKLY BIBLE TEACHING HOUSE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH EVERY WEEK.... IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT.... THAT IN ROMAN CATHOLIC SEMINARIES...... THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EMPHASIS...... ON PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO THE LOST...... WE CALL THEM CEMETERIES AS OPPOSED TO SEMINARIES.... RATiHER RUDE PERHAPS... WE ONLY REALLY KNOW OF ONE LIVELY PRIEST THAT WE HAVE EVER MET AND WE'VE MET ALOT....HE IS A DOMINICAN FROM POLAND..... HE MANAGED TO SURVIVE THE CEMETERIES... AND COME OUT ON FIRE WITH PLENTY OF ACTIVE FAITH...... HIS COLLEAGUES...... IN THE DOMINICAN MONASTERY...... CALLED HIM A FREAK...... NOW I THINK IT IS PERFECTLY POSSIBLE FOR A BELIEVER TO JUMP AND BECOME A DISCIPLE... THAT WOULD BE HIS OWN FREE CHOICE... WHY NOT.....
