The behavior pattern of the carnal christian cannot be distinguished from that of an unbeliever. In fact, he is sometimes worse, as illustrated by David at one point in his life. ( 2 Sam. 11) Saul, too was a believer, though he acted like an unbeliever most of his life. As far as God's Word is concerned, while the believer may act like an unbeliever, he is still a believer, but in status quo carnality and out of fellowship.
The " riotous living " of the younger son in the prodigal son also represents this category of carnality.
Your thoughts?
