Good person or saved person?
Which are you? Is it theologically possible to be both a good person and a saved person in this lifetime? I will weigh in on this, but not until I have heard from some of you.
Yes, I think someone can be a good person without being saved. Unfortuently for them, it won't mean much in the end. You see good people all the time doing things that Christians aren't doing. So what makes a good person do good? Who knows, maybe it's just the way they were raised, that doing good is the way to heaven (which I hear quite a bit) noone ever brings up salvation though. All though, you could be a Christian and be doing bad things though too. But I guess in that sense there hasn't been a true change of heart in the saved person if they are still doing bad things.
