Jim . I have known Jesus 46 years . There is a change in this flesh vessel called a Born Again Experince when Jesus comes in as in John 3 : 5 - 8 , the spirit of man is made new in God by Jesus . It is not denomination it is Jesus Blood by the Spirit of God that creates a BRAND NEW CREATURE!!! Then this life of world ways does not rule us . Yes we have to live here but we make Jesus the King of our life when He comes in . My Pastor use to say "when you are TRULY SAVED you do not hitch your horse to the same old hitching post".
