Help me out here...if I was raised Muslim, would I be considered antichrist,
or just ignorant of the gospel and diety of Christ? Or maybe an unbeliever?

The label "antichrist" I believe applies to those who have known Christ and
have since denied his diety. If EVERYONE who denied Christ were antichrist,
then the whole world practically would be antichrist.

I honestly believe that term is for a specific group of people who outright
deny Christ, and does not include the unbelievers or the ignorant. Sure, they
still are not saved as yet, but to call them antichrist is a bit harsh....
