I didn't say “public” life was confined to this website. I am just asking what evidence there is of "the role and power of God’s indwelt Holy Spirit" affecting you in how you behave here. Or are the "temptations" fuelled by disinhibition simply stronger than the "power of God’s indwelt Holy Spirit"?

@fmf saidYou’re still not getting it.
So there must be no "life of sin" if a Christian is to be "saved", right?
If someone sincerely and genuinely accepts and believes in Jesus Christ and in His Resurrection, that person is saved. From that moment forward and forever. Irrevocably saved.
If someone lives a life of sin, then it’s quite clear that person did not fulfill John 3:16 and Romans 10:9 and was never saved to begin with.
@pb1022 saidThen your blather about "the role and power of God’s indwelt Holy Spirit" affecting you is worthless.
And as I said, I don’t answer to you and feel no need to justify or explain myself to you.
You are either here as a Christian, posting sincerely about your religion, making honest claims about the influence of "God’s indwelt Holy Spirit" on you.
Or you are some kind of charlatan trying to taunt the forum with your hypocrisy.
@pb1022 saidSo, if someone "sincerely and genuinely accepts and believes in Jesus Christ", he is irrevocably "saved", even if, later, despite that moment at which he was supposedly irrevocably "saved", he behaves in "life of sin" kind of way, he is "saved" nonetheless, right?

I’m not playing your prosecutor vs. witness little Gotcha game. Sorry to ruin your evening, kiddo.
I suggest you direct your endless questions and hostile interrogation at your goldfish.
@fmf saidWhat does “life of sin kind of way” mean?
So, if someone "sincerely and genuinely accepts and believes in Jesus Christ", he is irrevocably "saved", even if, later, despite that moment at which he was supposedly irrevocably "saved", he behaves in "life of sin" kind of way, he is "saved" nonetheless, right?
Christians will still occasionally sin. The Apostle Paul wrote about this in Romans 7 and Galatians. But no Christian lives a life of sin.
And when he sins, his best recourse is to get into The Word and prayer, ask God for forgiveness and remind himself that he is the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ so that he walks out what he really is.
Condemning himself and feeling guilty will only lead him away from God and cause him to sin more.
@fmf saidNot a unilateral declaration. It’s a declaration backed up by God’s Word.
Do your unilateral declarations about how "the role and power of God’s indwelt Holy Spirit" affect you mean nothing at all?
And you (or anyone else) is free to draw his or her own conclusions about my posting.
But, as I said, people in real life do not insult, provoke, lie about and harass me the way so many feel liberated to do when they’re anonymous and on the Internet.
