The Condition of our Hearts....
I was reading a thread where someone admitted to being a backslidden Apostolic and asked for prayer. There have been people that told me they were backslidden when I felt they were not really backslidden but simply just not as on fire as they once thought, and they were using that as a measuring line to judge if they were backslidden or not...I don't mean they were sinning more than normal but they just did not feel like they were as outgoing anymore in soul winning etc etc...
However I was wondering is it possible for someone to be backsliden and NOT realize it? Or at least not admit it? If that is the case what is the condition of their heart? Obviously this can include people that are attending church regularly but have sins they are not repenting from or even acknowledging...
IS that what a reprobate is?
