Believing in Vain 1 Co 15:2

What does Paul mean in
1 Co 15:2 "unless you have believed in vain"?
Many people think they're Christians
but they're not.

1 Co 15:2 J. Vernon McGee

Thank you and I agree but your link goes to 1 Co 5:2, not 15:2.
I knew one
who claimed Ps 103:12 but still lived a depraved life.

Is it enough to simply 'believe in Jesus' or are there certain things that
we must 'believe about Jesus' to be saved?
One must believe in the Jesus of scripture (2 Pe
2:1).

theophilus
My little sister "believes" in Jesus. Her life has not changed.
Her heart has not changed. Her "belief" is an intellectual assent.
She has no faith. She believes in vain...like she has some sort of
divine fire insurance."
Praying for her and for you (skin cancer).

You should get saved, and delete that embarrassing Granny Moses pic.
Are you speaking about theophilus' home page? 1 Sa 16:7

[To theophilus] ...[Y]ou devil dike...
Christians would be banned for this (Ro 14:4, Ps
105:15).
You won't be (2 Pe 2:1).
As a reminder john w is number 58 on

is not God' people (Non-trinitarians) category.
Like posts #44, #47, you wicked Roman Catholic, flaming hypocrite?

[Are you speaking about theophilus' home page?
1 Sa 16:7] Do you have a need to know?
It's a yes or no question (Eph

[1
Sa 16:7] See your favorite #, Damian:
666...
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the
gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and
though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not
love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,
and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me
nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade
itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own,
is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but
rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all
things, endures all things.
Love never fails (1
Co 13:1–8).
[2
Thess 1:7-9]
II. PAUL’S PROMISE TO THE CHURCH AT
THESSALONICA (1:5–10): The apostle says their trials will be used to
accomplish a twofold purpose.
A. What (1:5–6)
1. Concerning the persecuted (1:5): Their
hardships will be used to prepare believers for the Kingdom of God.
2. Concerning the persecutors (1:6): God is
already preparing judgment and punishment for those who harm believers.
B. When (1:7–10): Both purposes will be
accomplished at Christ’s second coming. Willmington, H. L. (1999). The
Outline Bible (2 Th 1:4–10). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.

1 Cor. 15:2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word
which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain If they don't
hold it fast it was for nothing.
Men can and do walk away.
