1.They either get born again out of fear of hell which should never be the case.Fear shouldn't be a driving force towards changing a man because 1st it is one of the tools of the devil 2nd It has a discouraging factor in it since it can discourage a struggling addict that he has no hope of salvation when he continually fails and 3rd the fear can subside when one looks around and sees everyone doing that sin or when he 'adapts' that fear in his system.
2.Getting born again out of the desire to be rich
it is called materialism which should never be the case but with the prosperity gospel you expect many to fall into this and end up getting it wrong Jesus said that you first seek the kingdom and its righteousness the others will be added unto you.But many are in salvation as a way of getting rich, rather than pursuing godliness 1st.
3.They weren't ready for the commitments or they had no idea as to what was expected ie CRUCIFYING the flesh with its desires.
4.To others it was a norm in their family/society to get saved.Hey, its a personal decision.
5.Others were coerced by associates/relatives to do it or risk to be abandoned or lose their affections.
6.Christians who have no appeal to seek the truth.This can be fatal because what keeps people in addictions are lies,talking from experience,you don't fight addictions with any other thing except the truth which is in the written word of God.
Getting born again should be a firm personal decision to quit sin,a commitment to be obedient,a pledge to follow Jesus' lordship irregardless of what including death leave alone cravings. Paul and other apostles referred themselves to prisoners of Christ AND only then is where you see the true power of Jesus in your life,the peace,joy,revealed righteousness,salvation and all other graces available for a believer.Get born again with a mind of true commitment for a double minded man is unstable in all his ways and draw near to God and he will draw near to you James 4:8.None is righteous except God but let none take this as an excuse for continuing in sin but with the spirit of power,love and sound mind 2 Timothy 1:7 lets focus to be sanctified 2 Corinthians 7:1 for without this no one will see the Lord Hebrews 12:14
