If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be evidence to convict you?

I was surprised , when I learned that a youth group of a church, of which I was a member, played a game called, "The Persecuted Church."  Part of the game include  to capturing believers and putting them in prison.  At least they had the persecuted church in mind, but  it is hard to simulate an actual persecuted church, the weeping, the torture, the years of not being with loved ones are difficult to imitate.

Perhaps of the greatest  sins of omission of the evangelical churches in the western world is apathy towards the persecuted church. Modern technology has made it possible to interact with those who are constantly and repeatedly being arrested and thrown into prison. But do we do it?

Persecution does take place in the United States of America

I lost a job due to persecution! But back to the question, Would you be tried and convicted or would the courts say, "no I am sorry there is just not enough evidence to convict this professing criminal."

You can start demonstrating that you know Christ by obeying the command in Scripture seen below.

This Scripture warns us against such apathy. Sympathy is important but empathy is commanded.
