Is Beyonce still a Christian till today in 2011?

Answer 1

It bothers me to have to answer this question, because when I received Jesus Christ, it was my understanding that it was forever.

I always like to go back to the oft-spoken example "You are no more a Christian because you sit(or speak, or sing) in church service than you are a car because you stand in a garage."

Back in the day when Destiny's Child were still together and making music, Beyonce made that bold statement that she wasn't "gon' compromise [her] Christianity"(I'm A Survivor, 199?) Problem is, short of murdering someone in Satan's name or getting 666 tatted on her shoulder, she has done a lot of things in the public that call into question whether or not her life is submitted to Christ(which is what it means to be a Christian. It means that, even though you are living your life and making decisions, those decisions should be made with the purpose of glorifying our Savior and drawing people to a relationship with Christ.) A lot of her celebrity has come from the bravado of she and her husband. She chose to marry a man that calls HIMSELF "Jay-hova"(still not sure what he means by that. It's hard to believe that he means to honor Jesus Christ in that he doesn't honor him in the content of his other lyrics, but that's another post.)

Back to Beyonce...sure, she's celebrity, but shows a LOT of her skin in her videos, live shows, ads, and red carpet appearances and has had no problem using vulgarity sexual inuendo in much of her acting(see her role as "Foxy Cleopatra" in Austin Powers and as "Etta James" in Cadillac Records.)

I have to acknowledge her philanthropy in the Houston area as well as around the country (and probably the world.) However, you do not have to be compelled by Christ to give to charity, seeing as they often serve as tax shelters for people with a lot of money (not saying that's why she does it, I'm just saying it doesn't automatically make her a Christian.)

Ultimately, the only one that knows what's going on with Beyonce's soul is the True and Living God. I believe that she has had ample opportunity to follow Christ. No one gets it a 100% right 100% of the time, but we can only know a tree by the fruit it produces. I'm praying and pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over Mrs. Knowles-Carter (or whatever her last name is now) and the entire entertainment industry and leaving it up to God to judge whether or not she's welcome in Heaven.
