Given the many warnings in the New Testament against false believers trying to deceive the church, it seems it ought to be obvious that mouthing words claiming belief are not what saves us, but the life giving and life changing baptism of the Holy Spirit. Does anyone believe the constant indwelling presence of Holy God in our lives will not compel us to live differently, and to feel differently from before?

Thanks for the series to come. I’m on the Arminian side, but it is early & I’ve been sick the last few days and besides those arguments aren’t the point of the thread.

On a societal side, has it ever been more obvious that America is NOT a nation dominated by Christians?

Those false believers, mouthing words but not having the spirit in them..... I call them “the tares”. The older I get the more I realize the church has many tares in it.

We pray, Lord Jesus, in the power of Your Spirit, that our brother be relieved from the illness that has beset him these last few days. Amen.
