How do we know the doctrine of carnal Christians is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of carnal Christians is supported by Scripture, particularly in 1 Corinthians, where Paul distinguishes between spiritual maturity and carnal living.

The doctrine concerning carnal Christians is rooted in Scripture, particularly in 1 Corinthians 3:1, where Paul explicitly states that he cannot speak to the Corinthians as spiritual but as carnal, indicating a clear distinction in their walk as believers. He identifies their behaviors—such as jealousy, strife, and division—as evidence of their carnality. Moreover, the notion that believers can still manifest behaviors of the natural man suggests that spiritual growth is necessary and that failing to pursue holiness leads to a carnal lifestyle. The call to maturity and understanding of spiritual truths serves as a continual reminder of the transformation that should occur in the life of a believer.
