Some have abused the idea of a “carnal Christian” by saying that it is possible for people to come to faith in Christ and then proceed to live the rest of their lives in a completely carnal manner, with no evidence of being born again or a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).
May ilan na inaabuso ang ideya ng "karnal na Kristiyano" at ipinapalagay na posible para sa isang tao na manampalataya kay Kristo at pagkatapos ay mamuhay bilang mga taong makalaman habampanahon na walang anumang ebidensya ng pagkasilang na muli o ng pagiging isang bagong nilalang (2 Corinto 5:17).
