Re: This Is Why We Get a Bad Rap!!

I think this is very typical of people who leave works based churches. For a period of time their very foundation is shaken. Because they never really had their faith in Jesus Christ to begin with they don't always put their faith in him when they leave the UPC/Apostolic churches. They might leave the standards but will still cling to the damaging doctrines and toxic faith that they always had.

It is impossible to live freely in Christ without being "in" Christ completely. Without the Holy Spirit working in our lives daily we cannot have a Christian walk. Works based churches have tons of rules and peer pressure to keep people in line and many people never learn to trust in God because the religion brings about a false sense of righteousness.

Though we cannot know for sure I would question whether or not this person has ever truly been born again though she may just need to mature a little.
