But can a person be a disciple (e.g., Judas) and not be born again at all? <br /><br />It's clear that in our Christian lives, we sometimes travel well and sometimes travel poorly. I wonder if you might add a few words about why we do this and about how we can maximize the former and minimize the latter.<br /><br />Best as always,<br />Bob McCollumPete Palamountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245906293561176148noreply@blogger.com
