Is Born Again Life Free Of Sin? by paxonel(m): 1:37pm On Nov 24, 2019 |
You will agree with in me that those who calls themselves born again are all chronic sinners like anyone else. All the born again people i have ever known starting from the days i used to call myself born again till this moment i have come to know this truth, they are all terrible, miserable subtle and dangerous people, dangerous to even themselves unknowingly. like the Pharisees in the bible they put on garments appearing to be modest, but meanwhile, deep in their heart they are not different from anyone else. Now, look at it this way : almost more than half of Nigerian Christian population claim to be born again. These people go to church every Sunday and a vast number of them have become politicians, administrators, governors, presidents, vice-presidents, head of council's, senators, house of representatives etc. But guess what? Nothing has changed in the corrupt status of the nation in quote. Rather, things are even becoming worst. What does this tells you? There is nothing like born again in the real sense 1 Like |

Becoming born again is not an end to a sinful life. This is because most of the people who got Born again refuse to become Disciples of the Lord. The only way to deal with a sinful life, is to become a disciple. Difference Between Believer and Disciple 1. Believer have his will and desires, he is not ready to surrender then to the Lord. He wants the Lord to bless his personal will and desire Disciple normally submits all his will and desire to the Lord. He wants to do the Will Of the Lord rather than his own. 2. Believer is not interested in making any sacrifice for the gospel. Disciple is willing to bare burdens, if possible suffer for the faith. 3. Believer is more interested in what God will do for them Disciple is more interested in what to do for the Lord. 4. Summary The believer lives for himself. He is still selfish Disciple lives for Christ. He is selfless. Now, only those who have died to self, who live a selfless life, can experience victory over sin. |

dVIA:we have read that some disciples like Peter were found committing sin an Paul rebuked Peter for it. Even Paul himself said he is not free of sin. Does that mean that Peter was a mere believer and not a disciple? |

the fact that you are born again does not mean you cannot misbehave. after salvation, there is need for sanctification, that is trying to uproot the root of bad characters and attitude by getting closer to the saviour till you become a perfect man. This process do last for a lifetime. It may take 10 yrs for a born again to be completely free from lying |

paxonel: What sin did Peter commit at which Paul rebuked him? Did Paul say he was not free from? I think you read just part. |

paxonel: Was there a thing like CBA- Community born again ? Being BA has always been personal but True very many fail at it. But there are some who do well in having The Lord as their Father, though they are very very few, especially in these days. |

Dtruthspeaker:you are right! There are some of them who are doing well. But most of them?... Consider, this guy on a looted materials below. He may also call himself born again, it is personal.

paxonel:A born again(one who not only believes in but obeys the commandments that is Jesus Christ, the New Covenant) is not one who is without sin. As long as we remain human and have not been perfected much as Christ is, we will sin every now and then. However, a born again (one who not only believes in but obeys the commandments that is Jesus Christ, the New Covenant) is completely free of the condemnation of sin which is death (perish in the grave)! What this means is that after being saved from the condemnation of sin that is death(perish in the grave) by believing in Jesus Christ, no matter how much sin a person(believer) commits afterwards, that person will never again be condemned to die/perish in the grave/cease to exist upon death. This is the message contained in the Gospel of John that many of you repeat all day long about God without in fact realizing the meaning of Unfortunately, Salvation from the condemnation of sin that is death(perish in the grave) is no guarantee that one will spend eternity in Heaven, as some of those who are saved will in fact end up spending that gift of eternity in Hell. Later on, in the same gospel of John( Chapters 14 -16) we learn more about separating those who obey from those who do not obey and the work of the Spirit inside of those who obey). |
