Are you authentic? Or
hypocrite?

One Korean Pastor told   the Church if do not follow

what you sing you are a liar.

Peter was not genuine

2. Do you have consistency in your life?

He walks on water then he  drawn into the water.

Followed immediately then followed Him distantly

went to fishing

Do you have consistency?
