Another question arises. A person can certainly have a desire to do the right thing to the best of their ability -and- all of the above. Wouldn't you agree? This must be the state of all christians, at any rate. Filled with both, and I doubt that's a "change" for anyone at all.
I would agree. It is not the state of all Christians--it should be the goal of all Christians, which is a very very big difference.
Seems like a low goal, what with it being the default state of a great many christians and non-christians, at least. I;m still pretty sure it;s everyone, lol, but you do you. Certainly doesn't sound like an indicator of salvation or the effect of salvation anymore, as you began this bit with.
Just another variation of the "I used to be a trash human being, then I found jesus!"...except you're maintaining that a bunch of folks who found jesus are still trash human beings?
