Quote by Will Metzer Tell the Truth, CH.4, p.88
"Our desire is must be nothing less that to see the whole individual converted. We are looking to God for changed persons, not just a response from one segment of a personality. God regenerative work is a thorough renewing that involves all the faculties of the mind, emotions and will. Scriptural language calls this a 'new creation', a 'new birth'. People or either saved or lost. To weaken this radical but scriptural cleavage of mankind by suggesting a third category for people is an attack on the biblical doctrine of regeneration. There is no such thing as being a half Christian- for instance, being a 'Christian' but not a Spirit-baptized Christian; being a 'Christian' but not accepting Christ as Lord; being a 'Christian' but living a life continually characterized by being carnal (spiritual adultery)."
