Can a man be against all countries fighting in any wars and be a Christian?...yes
The thing Im pointing to is that "acting" like a Christian, or "acting" not like a Christian is a moot point when talking about if a person actually "is' a christian.
The ONLY thing that makes a person a Christian is their faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
As long as the person does not mess with that single core Christian idea, they are Christian.
So all of the window dressing of a christian life, like being the husband of only one wife, or submitting to your government, speaking in tongues or having a good reputation are always going to be merely secondary to the only real important issue to a christian's salvation.....DO THEY BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS?
