Searching around brought me to an article from which I extracted this passage. Though I may not agree with the whole article, this passage stands out:
quote:
By Mary Fairchild - March 2003
An indicator of counterfeit faith that does not bring conversion is a desire to be saved from the punishment of sin, but not from sin itself. Other indicators would include a desire for the blessings of Christ, but no desire for a relationship with Him and a desire for the free gift of eternal life, but not with empty hands of faith. More indicators of counterfeit faith would include a desire for Christ as a Priest to procure pardon and peace, but not as a Prophet to instruct them or as a King to rule over them. And finally, a desire for Christ that is only under the terms of their religious traditions or unbending philosophy.
