Posted in: When a young person who's living a sinful lifestyle wants to make profession of faith; what's an appropriate response?
It seems to me the question flows out of a sacremental or event perspective on profession of faith rather than a heart felt declaration of allegiance to the God of the Bible. To even raise the question about a distinction between a member person or a non-member person smacks of favoritism or turning a blind eye to spiritual realities. Across denominations there seems to be a fracture between a claim to Christ and life conduct or moral decisions. I believe the more we focus on church as sacrements, the greater that divide can become.
