Okay---so just answer me this one simple question. When a person fornicates--are good works naturally flowing from them? Are they following the direction of the Holy Ghost as you claim is the outcome for being born again?

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon)--Luk 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
When a person sins if they are convicted of their sin and they change direction and live more and more Christlike over time then that is a consistent with what happens in a born again believer's life. BTW I think it is odd that you are so caught up with this particular sin and all of the other sins seem to be OK in your eyes.
I am just using a specific example from a data set that was presented.When a person sins if they are convicted of their sin and they change direction and live more and more Christlike over time then that is a consistent with what happens in a born again believer's life. BTW I think it is odd that you are so caught up with this particular sin and all of the other sins seem to be OK in your eyes.
So, will Christ save a person FROM their sin, or just help them AFTER their sin?

As it is natural for birds to fly, as it is natural for babies to suckle, it is natural for good to come from the righteousness of God.. Since that is the righteousness a Christian has it is natural for good works to spring forth from them.. That is not how they became righteous it is a side effect of their imputed righteousness.. IHS jim
Those who are regenerated or born again naturally produce good works because they are born again.

Are you including that premise as an integral part of those whom have, as you state,--- "faith in him"?
But are those works part of your phrase "faith in Christ"?
My advice:
Dont watch TV.
I never watch except to catch the weather reports...
After that, I dont really care what the heck Kim Kardashian and the Bieber are up to...
