Ballestero's The Saved Backslider

http://martynballestero.com/2011/03/...ed-backslider/


The Generation Of The ‘Saved’ Backslider

Saved backsliders? Yes, although it sounds like an oxymoron, it is a sad commonplace in Pentecostal ranks today. Old fashioned type backsliders that say, “I’m not in church, keep praying for me” are getting harder and harder to find.

Remember the day when you knew someone was backslidden and they knew it too?

Their lifestyle gave them away. Their own actions brought condemnation upon themselves.

They smoked and tried to hide it when they saw the pastor coming because they knew they were wrong.

They drank alcohol and knew it was wrong.

They went to nightclubs and hoped no one would see them because they knew they were wrong.

If they went to the movies they looked around first to make sure no one saw them because they knew they were doing wrong.

Women cut their hair and felt guilt when members of the church saw them because they knew they had done wrong.

Women put on make up and jewelry to look like the world and knew they were wrong.

Women put on slacks and felt ill at ease because they knew they were wrong.

They went swimming in public places exposing their bodies and knew it wasn’t right.

They got tattoos and tried to hide them from the church folks because they knew they were wrong.

They had affairs and their conscience never stopped preaching to them because they knew they were living wrong.
