Spiritual growth as evidence of salvation?

[KCfromNC]

I see; religion is a passing phase on the way to a "category error" then. Clears that question up.

Nope. The phrase "true spirituality" doesn't have any meaning. Spirituality is just a feeling people get from time to time. It has nothing to do with some sort of external objective truth.

Ok. Still a bit confusing since "true spirituality" was your term. Was there a reason for distinguishing it from religion?

Agree on this. I personally believe that no one who has Christ in him can remain completely the same. It's just not possible. I'm not saying that we have to be transformed into Mother Theresa overnight, but there has to be something.

I've met self-professing Christians who would curse rape or car accidents onto someone else. It's scary

Peter, in 2 Peter 3, says: 'Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ'. And for there to be growth, there does need to be spiritual life there by faith, in the first place.

Just repeating one of the many random contradictory claims I've heard about what spirituality "really" is.

Woah! Great observation. Spiritual growth is definitely evidence of salvation. Surely, full spiritual maturity IS salvation.
