Admin	What does it mean to be a disciple? Posted : 29 Jan, 2012 04:21 AM Hi all! I was wondering what you all thought it really means to be a disciple? What does it really look like? What does that word actually mean to you? I've been mulling over this recently as the bible says to go out and make disciples rather than 'go out and make someone say a sinner's prayer and that's it'. So what does it look like practically to you? What does it mean to disciple someone? What does it mean to be a disciple? (It's not as deep as some of the other questions on here! But I'd love to get some views on this - bible quotes very welcome!) Post Reply

Being a disciple means coming along side a younger women and helping and encouraging her live a Godly life as shown to us through God's word. To read God's word and pray with her and learning God's way to live. As in Titus 2 i am called to be reverent, teaching what is good, being sensible, kind, not given to much wine, not being a gossip.

When you except Jesus and you get "born again" then is when the Discipleship starts. Growing in the Knowledge of Christ Jesus and having a personal relationship with him. Fail not to assemble yourself with other Believers. Get under good "Holy Spirit" leadership. You can not discple anyone unless you are "Saved" and lead by the Holy Spirit within Yourself. :glow: Post Reply
