110. Is a person born as a “Christian” or a “Muslim”?
the Bible No
Yes the Quran
the Bible's Perspective
John 1:12-13But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 3:5Jesus answered, “Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and Spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom.
1 Peter 1:23having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.
the Quran's Perspective
Al-Kafiroon (Disbelievers) 109:1-6Say, "O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshippers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion."
Notes
According to the Bible one cannot be born a Christian; only those who are “born again” by the Spirit of God will inherit the Kingdom of God. But one who is born with a Muslim father is automatically considered to be a Muslim by birth.
