Subject: Are there stillborn Christians? |
Bible Note: Charis, I agree w/you about "cheap grace". Most people don't know about repentence or what it even means, I know I didn't. I thought repentence just meant being sorry for your sins. I grew up Cath, go to confession, say 3 Hail Marys and that was it. To me all I had to do was to believe Jesus was my Lord and Savior, that I'm a sinner, He died for me, rose again on the 3rd day and I'm sorry I sinned, I didn't quite grasp the "sin no more" concept. How many people are in that same boat? It took years before I finally realized it, I just didn't know. The main change in my life was that I was listening to preaching tapes (Copeland) and following along in the Bible, went to conventions, but I still lived my worldly ways otherwise. I didn't belong to a church either, but the few I ever visted were basically preaching accept Jesus as your Savior, never did hear what real repentence was. How can you know if you're not told? |
