In such a situation, a strong and clear answer is required. But in all of our explorations of what the Bible teaches us, we must always come back to Christ and His Body. I am fully unqualified to be the minister of such high matters, but I will try to give an outline of what is supposed to happen to the Christian during his lifetime. A Normal Christian Life. A normal Christian life begins at regeneration.
Regeneration is what happens to the spirit of the believer.
All genuine Christians have experienced regeneration. However, not all who call themselves Christians are regenerated. This is part of the problem. The lack of spiritual rebirth means that it is impossible to receive the rest of God's blessings in Christ. And yet, social systems are in place to allow such persons to become leaders in their denominations.
