I like to think I would be bold enough to die for my faith in Christ and I think I would if it came down to it.However I really don't know that we can say for sure whatwe would do.If we go back to say the Christians that were burned at the stake for translating the bible into English as they were being led out before the crowd of onlookers to be burned some were strong in faith,singing praises to Jesus as they were being led out,while others were very scared and were crying.I like to think that I'd be one of the ones singing praises to Jesus as I'm set on fire.

It appears, that to deny Christ is to deny Christ, whether you deny by lips or by heart, you do end up denying him. The path to recovery is between God and man and the church. The apostles and the early church martyrs did not deny Christ temporarily to save their own skin.

Now after saying that, I do know Christians who are Muslims to the outside world but are secretly christians. Declaring their faith outloud is certain death. And I see that too.
Doesn't that mean that since God knows what is in one's heart, what they say, really doesn't matter...especially if it will save lives?
