    Did not realize that conservatives did not have to have the faith in the Resurrection in order to be Christians. Is it only liberals that must toe that line? I know every Baptism ( non-infant) that I've attended has a proclamation of Christ as the Risen Lord. Do we think that Peterson is not Baptized?

    Peterson’s answer when asked if he believes in God is “I conduct my life as if I do.”
    I’ve never heard him claim to be a Christian and it seems to confuse people on the Left that a conservative can like and appreciate someone’s position in one area without having to agree in all areas. Why, I think that’s called tolerance and diversity- how odd.

    Did you not read what I said? I said there are reasons to doubt that he is a Christian. So, I have not given Peterson a pass like you have insinuated. Also, some people come to faith gradually through time. It is not always a singular moment in time. It can be a process, and that is why I said I doubt without totally closing the door on the man. I would say based on what I know we could say he is almost a Christian, but being almost a Christian never saved anyone's soul. But God just might be working on him to break him down so that he surrenders to Christ.
