One person says they are born of the Spirit of God, and another person also says they also have the Spirit of God in them.
The first person curses the second person, and mocks him, and ridicules him, and defends sin. The 2nd person blesses the first, and forgives him, and apologizes to him. And speaks against sin.
Judging from this alone, which has the Spirit of God in them?
I would rather not judge at all, as I might speak evil of the Spirit, not knowing the hearts.
Here is the confusion. The 2nd person might just be doing all the things Jesus says, but might be doing them with an evil heart, just to shame the person in their actions.
But the first person may just be acting out because they have recently been rebuked, though later they might repent.
So I cannot judge the situation.
I would say that God knows who are his own. As his own are chosen by him.
It reminds me of the way Solomon had to decide which lady was really the owner of the baby.
I saw a movie once about Solomon. And it made me judge myself. In the movie, the woman who really owned the baby spoke violently with Solomon. And the other lady who didn't own the baby was all nice like, and crying.
The woman who really owned the baby did not show respect to the king, yet she really did own the baby. And the emotional woman who spoke gently and cried was a liar.
I was convicted, because I was certain the lady who spoke aggressively with the king was the liar, and that the woman who cried was the one who owned the baby.
And then Solomon lifted up his sword to cut the baby in half, and the aggressive woman defended the baby, while the other waited to get her half.
And now I remember that we can not look with respect of persons.
What a twist.
May Jesus bless you.
