Seven Certain Signs of True Conversion pt. 3

The third sign that Masters considers is that of fellowsip, something that I personally have taken for granted as perhaps a byproduct of conversion rather than a sign of it. But I am persuaded that it must be a sign, in the sense that it shows our faith in a very practical way.

3) The family bond
i In Acts 2:42 we can see that following their conversion the believers immediately drew towards one another for fellowship, creating a kinship as we see in 1 John 3:14.
ii Fellowship should be a compulsion for a believer and we should be drawn into the spiritual family of a local church.
iii If an individual shows no signs of a need for fellowship, or want to talk of the things of God it is unlikely that they are saved.
iv A believer also sees a gap emerge between themselves and non chrisitan friends, not that they love them any less but that true godly fellowship is missing.

It seems true that real faith should create a need for godly fellwoship, and that as believers we should be drawn to one another. Therefore it seems reasonable that any evidence for or against this should be considered a sign of faith.
