I suggest you be more careful in your original postings as your first post said " Then for them to avoid persecution they will have to live in an ungodly manner in Christ. "  There is nothing in your words that indicate someone is deceived.

Yeah, he is right my friend of many letters.  I KNEW what you meant , but not all will .  SO it is better to have said for them to avoid persecutions

they will have to live ungodly .

That is true that as we grow we change. In 2 Peter 5 it says and beside this giving diligence add to your faith virtue and to virtue knowledge and add also six other things patience godliness brotherly kindness and love. So Peter says add them. That is we are to add them. It's also says if we do these things you shall never fall. So we are to be doing. First is faith believe in Jesus and his death and resurrection for our sins. Then we add them as born again Christians. I don't think they will be automatically unless we walk in it. There are Christians who bear almost no fruit because they haven't applied the word and commandments of the new testament. Like Peter says they have forgotten they were purge of there sins. Yes it takes time to grow in this things. But we are commanded to walk in them so to be fruitful. 

Waynes feeling better.  PRAISE the LORD .     Praise the LORD.      I am happy to see you feeling better.

Actually YOU SPOT ON with this .     I had assumed more had heard of this .    Apparentely they have not .  THANKS for the wonderful advice .   I will do so

and its worth the work .    Be blessed.

I understand it will be worth it, if that is what you are called to do, and the reason why I mention this is ... well, let me give you an analogy.

It had been discovered that a small meteor will hit the desert in Utah.  One person runs around saying the sky is falling, and another announces that a meteor will land in the desert of Utah.  Which will be the best warning for people?  The one scaring the whole world with generalities or the one making announcements with specifics?

Correction is not persecution.   He meant being persecuted FOR CORRECTING.

I was quoting you this time.  Perhaps I did not understand your statement " SO it is better to have said for them to avoid persecutions"
