He, however, described what a Christian was in his own words: He informed Andy Dosty, “A Christian is an individual who is a member of the religious community called Christianity.”
He continued by arguing that Christianity is not precisely what the Kingdom of God is about. On Daybreak Hitz, Matthew stated, “whoever believes in the Kingdom of God will be dubbed a “Child of God.”

“You can Google if you do not get what I am saying. Do not rely on my word alone. If I am lying, the Scriptures are there to prove it,” he added. Mr. Matthew, who was born into a Christian musical household, learned to play multiple instruments and sing in his father’s church choir at a young age.
