It doesn't happen automatically Caroline. Scripture tells us that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him (Jesus) Acts 5:32 - The obedient are those who are being "conformed to the image of Christ" by abiding in Him and allowing His Words to abide in them (John 15:26); those who build their house upon the Rock. These are the ones who die daily by putting off sin and putting on Christ - which BTW is not works. Obedience is normal Christian living.  Grace and Peace, judyt   On Sat, 2 Apr 2005 18:01:24 -0600 "Caroline Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: OK, deal. Me first, then you. My definition of a Christian is one who is indwelt by the Spirit of Christ and therefore has a relationship with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Love,  Caroline From: Judy Taylor This is my question to you - since you are the one who made the "loaded" statement and I asked first :-)  judyt   On Sat, 2 Apr 2005 08:03:17 -0600 "Caroline Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: So how would you define Christian? What makes a person Christian?  Love,  Caroline From: Judy Taylor   What a "loaded" question Caroline.  I would say it depends - what you mean by the term "Christian?" Is this a Judge Greer type nominal person who goes to Church and continues on with same old hard heart and unrenewed mind - a person who merely inherits the "Christ event?"  How do you believe one becomes clothed in Christ's righteousness??  judyt     On Fri, 1 Apr 2005 22:50:25 -0600 "Caroline Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: does everyone here believe that all Christians are clothed in Christ's righteousness and end up in heaven after we die? In that case, indeed "so what?"  Love,  Caroline From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   so what?    On Fri, 1 Apr 2005 17:29:32 -0500 "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: ..if a person is comfortable with the idea of keeping their sin ..then such a person is comfortable in sin.
