    Yes, Only Christian churches have true freedom.
    They profess faith in Christ
    They are saved.
    They do what ever they like
    No rules or laws to follow
    No commandments to keep
    They have eternal life.

    You are talking for other people as if you know, but I'm not interested in what you think about them. I could care less what you think someone else thinks or why they think it. Since you can speak for yourself and never get that wrong, how about limiting your conversation to just that?

    "True freedom"

    Why did you put the word "true" in there?

    Yes, I am a true Christian.
    Jesus Christ is my righteousness.
    His death on the cross has lifted the burden of law Keeping
    Those who do good works are trying in vain to save themselves.
    They are not trusting in the saving Grace of God.
    No rules, No commandments. Im saved.

    You want some references?

    Can you give an example of a 'fake' freedom?

    It is being able to do anything just because you want to without constraints, rules, laws.

    If everyone does that, we have anarchy.

    Some seek power - a double standard. Rules are for other people to follow.

    Perhaps a dictator or very wealthy person can come very close to this, however. While it sucks for the rest of the people who have to live under this person's power, I would not call that person's freedom 'fake'.

    Would you?

    True freedom, I should have clarified, wasn't just for the individual, but us all. I agree double standard and anarchy would be issues without limitations.

    I think you’re under-estimating (or failing to recognize) the power of God’s Holy Spirit that indwells a believer the moment that the believer accepts and believes in Jesus Christ and in His Resurrection.

    That believer becomes a new creation with a new heart and new desires that are not at all like his or her old sin nature.

    People overcome bad and sinful habits by realizing they are the righteousness of God in Christ. See 2 Corinthians 5:21.

    When Christians believe right, they live right.
