I believe there are believers who change their belief, if I didn't I would be discounting scriptures, Paul said there are those who have fallen away. It's to bad some here can't believe I wanted to know why or if they challenged themselves to seek God on a regular bases. I was not looking for ammo against anyone. But they will believe what they will and there's nothing I can do to change their mistrust of Christians.

Well you surprise but please me. On another website there is one regular fundamentalist Christian who always asserts that anyone says they used to be xtian was never "saved", "washed in the blood", "born again" .. or just plain never a true christian. You are a breath of fresh air.
