The "natural man" works on reaction to events. Reaction is predictable; it gives enemies an advantage. Get someone mad by teasing, prodding, accusing etc. and he will predictably react the way you want him to ........ and then you can "justifiably" exterminate him for having opposed you.
A person who is "born of the spirit" does NOT react predictably. He waits and ponders and meditates UNTIL a unique approach occurs to him. (One could argue that this wisdom comes from outside of one's self -from "above"- or it comes from the subconscious mind. I personally believe it comes from outside one's self).
Once a person has been "born again" he never loses it. However, he CAN and SHOULD progress further than his birth experience. This is what the Bible book of Hebrews talks about when it says, " For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is skillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God..." -Heb. 5: 12-15
And Paul said to the Corinthians, "I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able." -(1 Corinthians 3:2)
There is a CONTINUATION of growth.
The principles are the same for all spiritual development, irrespective of any religious labels.

For all you has beens here's a little logic. Jesus said, "ye must be born again." Now, you have been born once into your bloodline. How do you get deliverance from it? Well, neither can you get deliverance from the new birth. You either have it or you don't. You either were or you wasn't. So quit your lying about being where a believer is. Louis
