A Christian can struggle with addiction and still be born again; Christians struggle with sin

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 2) 00:11:18 – 00:13:20

Q from Christian Liang about whether an addiction sufferer can be born again and saved.

Mike answers yes: the question is really whether a Christian who struggles with sin can be born again, and the answer is clearly yes. Paul addresses carnal Christians in Corinthians without implying they are unsaved. He contrasts this with the case of the man sleeping with his stepmother (1 Cor 5) whom Paul instructs the church to discipline/expel. Sin as a struggle in the believer's life is expected and normal.
