Subject: Can a born again sin as they did before? |
Bible Note: You write "I think once your "born again" you're always "born again" regardless of if you stumble...However, only those who are sincere of heart in their commitment to God...and only God knows the heart...are those that struggle to be as sinless as possible due to their love and faith in Jesus Christ...there is only one sin that cannot be forgiven and that is to deny or "blasphemy" God once you make the commitment to become "reborn". ..to deny Him...that is merely my own understanding, but you should search the Scriptures for yourself." I am sorry but I will disagree with you. Once you born again you you always born again. This is not a big reason that God will tolerate such actions. For example if I am a killer then called for salvation (born again) received Christ and Christ lives in me how could I commit the same things I've done bofore. paul specifies that once you received Christ, Christ lives in you and not yours: Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Now if Christ live in me and still I can commit killings rape etc, what kind of chirst is that live in me a tolerable kind of christ? Could you please cite me any apostle that once a killer then born again and commit the same acts after being born again, please I will very thankful if can provide. God bless, Johnny |
