So it seems to me that due to their already born again status the repentance that 2 Corinthians 2 mentions is a turning from works that born again Christians should not be doing. This is different than the repentance it takes to be born again which is turning from unbelief in Christ. Now don't get me wrong, the repentance of unbelief will lead (if given enough time) to the repentance that causes a Christian to turn from Unchristian works but those two repentances are not the same. |
Now you have overly confused me on where you stand.
And yes, I knew it was to already born-again Christians.
I guess we will end it here and move on to another subject?
