PasserBy, I understand your view, but remember, conversion is a process. Those young women are making a transition, like we all are. Remember when God first saved you? Did you go from sinner to perfect saint? No, none of us do. It's a process. It seems that the church these young women are attending is providing the love (of God) needed to grow spiritually. If more churches would focus on loving, instead of preaching with condemnation all the time, more souls will be drawn to God. Just as God has patience and longsuffers with us, we must have patience and long suffer with other souls. Let's celebrate the fact that these young women have chosen Christ and let's pray for them that they fall in love with God to the point that they will make all the necessary sacrifices needed to walk successfully with Him. Freely you have received, freely give. Share what God has shared with you. WalkingTalkingBible |

New Birth "Cleansing from sin that God gives to all who believe on his Son through the Holy Spirit. "Some have considered the new birth to be a process a person experiences, even over a period of years. Such an interpretation is not congruent with the tense of the Greek verb in this passage (John 3). The aorist tense suggests that the new birth is an event rather than a process. Prior to a certain point in time, a person is not-born-again or regenerated; after that point, the person is. "The new birth is, then, a sovereign act of God by his Spirit in which the believer is cleansed from sin and given spiritual birth into God's household. It renews the believer's intellect, sensibility, and will to enable that person to enter the kingdom of God." Carl B. Hoch, Jr. Bibliography. L. L. Belleville, Trinity 1 (1980): 125-41; F.
