Unregenerate
2Peter 2:22 Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."
The first is found in Pr 26:11 "As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." The reason why a dog returns to his vomit because that's its nature. The reason a pig goes back to wallowing in the mud is because that's its nature. Christians who do so indicate by such behavior that they had not been born again. For "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." 2Cor 5:17 But rather as John said, "They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us." 1John 2:19 For "we know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin." 1John 5:18a
