WHY No Meat On lent fridays

That is as silly as baptist's who feel that they can do anything and it is ok because they are saved and can't ever loose their salvation, without even a need to confess their sins.

 

Debby in Philly,

It's too bad that you friends felt that way. However, I'm sure we all know (or perhaps have been guilty of being) a Sunday Christian.

I was raised as a Baptist and I know for the past 14 years I was guilty of being a "Sunday Christian." I praise God for His love and mercies for bringing me back into the fold.

I realize how important it is that daily I give my life to God and daily I strive to live for and serve Him.

I wasn't saying that's what is true, it's that it is what they took it to mean - you could deliberately sin as long as you wnet to confession and did penance. A Christian who has been born again and has the mind of Christ would not think to do that. We want to do what is right, we want to please and honor Him, because of what He did for us.

 

You are saying that a born again would never sin knowingly?

So for example, when someone on this board bears false witness, I should just assume that person is not saved, because they wouldn't think of sinning like that?
