Katy Perry, Christian recording artist?
But was she a legitimate Christian artist? In 2004, at the age of 19, she told Blender Magazine that during her adolescence, she wasn’t “your typical Christian. I’ve done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination.”
So, um, doing bad things means that one is not a legitimate Christian? I’m not defending Katy Perry — or is it Hudson? — but that is just a ridiculous sentence to write.
What exactly differentiates the legitimate Christians from the other, presumably illegitimate, ones? Is it better to be an illegitimate Christian than not be one at all? Or are they both going to be cast aside by God in favor of the legitimate ones?
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female.
(Legitimate or illegitimate.)
For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26-28, NLT)
