To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: Proverbs 1:2-5

There are two kinds of Christians clearly named and described in Scripture.

It is of the utmost importance that every Christian should know which kind he or she is and then determine which kind he or she wants to be. Paul, in I Corinthians 3:1-4, speaks of Christians as either Carnal or Spiritual. It is a Life of Unceasing Conflict.

Two natures, the divine and the fleshly, are engaged in deadly warfare within the Christian. More often the fleshly nature is in control, and there is little enjoyment of spiritual blessings.

A Carnal Christian is one that is lives in the world. Sins of the flesh are something all Christians are exposed to daily. Carnal Christians are Christians that are saved but they do not enjoy the blessings from God.

Which is your life, that of a Carnal Christian or a Spiritual Christian?

If you are receiving God's blessings now you are living "Heaven on Earth" and you would be considered a spiritual Christian.

If you are not receivng God's blessings now and you are living a "Worldly Life" then you would be considered a carnal Christian.

What are you willing to do to have God's blessings NOW and live Heaven on Earth?

One guideline to follow is as yourself a question everytime you do not know what to do. Question: "What would Jesus do?"

The Marks of a Carnal Christian
"For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members."
Romans 7:22-23

"O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Romans 7:24

"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit the taketh away, and every branch that bearth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit." John 15:2

"Whosover therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." James 4:4

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."
1 John 2:15-16
