Should we use adjectives to describe how “christian” someone is?

The past few weeks I’ve taken note of phrases like, “nominal Christian”, “he/she is not very deep in his/her faith”, “their faith isn’t very mature”… you get the idea.

I heard a sermon this morning that focused on Revelation 3:16 where it says:
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”

“Lukewarm” sounds a lot like some terms we use to describe some Christians.

It was by Francis Chan and it’s up on iTunes. He had some very powerful insights into the whole thing.
