I do not understand what the advocates of C4 and C5 levels of contextualization obsession with Islamic teachings is. They seem to be quite ignorant. Their understanding of Scripture also seem very questionable. Don't they know that the Hadith proves that the Qur'an is a concoction of Prophet Muhammad. The salat (five daily prayers) are also his invention. There was no Night Journey, Isra Miraj, because both the Qur'an (17:60) and the Hadith (different ones) show he had a DREAM that took him to Jerusalem, then to the seven heavens. Most Muslims are ignorant of these facts, so apparently are some Christians. It is sad that Christian pastors, missionaries, teachers and laypeople advocate for the teachings of Prophet Muhammad to be adopted by Christians of Muslim background. Scripture clearly shows that we cannot be both Muslim and Christian. Indeed, narrow is the gate and "there are few that find it." May the Lord find us faithful. Thanks Ginger for the comment!

I totally agree with your view, it is very evident from the Word of God that Jesus and Mohammad are mutually exclusive. But if someone remains a Muslim and tells people he is a Christian, too---this means he is still a Muslim, because of taqiyya, he is allowed to lie and deceive to protect his religion, and also because of the reason you named, that "once a Muslim, always a Muslim" unless you recant. And everyone knows that to recant is to allow a death sentence to fall on you. I think that those who advocate this view---and their numbers are growing rapidly in the US especially---are on dangerous ground theologically. Perhaps they had no proper Bible training, but I am very glad you wrote on this issue and pray that God brings them back to the narrow road. Jesus said, "there are few that find it"--how true! God bless and keep you safe and strong in the Lord Jesus Christ. Greetings, brother.
