You might be a false convert if…

You can’t remember a time when you repented of your sins and placed your faith in Jesus Christ.

You aren’t reading your Bible regularly.

You aren’t attending church regularly.

You believe baptism, church attendance, communion, or some other sort of works righteousness plays any part in your salvation.

You believe baptism, church attendance, communion, or some other sort of works righteousness are unnecessary as evidence of your salvation.

You don’t enjoy fellowship with other believers.

You don’t share your faith with unbelievers.

You don’t memorize Scripture.

You don’t pray regularly.

You exhibit pride, rather than humility, when confronted with a sin you continue to practice since “conversion.”

While many Christians struggle with any one of these problems, an established pattern or willful continued practice of any of these may indicate a need for further examination of the existence of one's faith. Granted, it may not be a sin if you don't memorize Scripture, but more importantly this list is evident fruit we can see in a true believer. It's not necessarily a list of do's and don'ts, but rather a gauge to see if these examples reflect our lives as new creations in Christ. As Paul stated in 2 Corinthians 13:5, "Test yourselves {to see} if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you--unless indeed you fail the test?" Food for thought.
