Standing for Baby Christians
When they were first saved, they were baby Christians, and God permitted others to pray for them and carry them on their faith. But after a while, God expects that baby to grow, walk, and start doing things for himself. God puts the baby down and tells him to walk, but many won’t. Too many people still want to be babies and have someone else pray for them all the time. We want to help those who can’t help themselves, but we need to teach people so they can grow and use their own authority, because the time will come when they will have to use their own authority if they want their prayers answered.
We ought to grow stronger in faith the older we get, but too often we don’t. In her church, as in so many, most of the people were saved when they were younger, and God permitted others to pray for them then. But because of a lack of right teaching, they remained in that babyhood stage of Christian development. They said, “We used to get healed when we were first Christians, but now we don’t.” Amen

Ok so if you find you are feeling like your still a baby Christian, are praying for yourself, reading Gods word, going to Church and trying to learn how to hear Gods still small voice then what is it your doing wrong. Or I should say what is it a person should to feel like they are no longer a baby Christian. How do you know when you are what is called a seasoned christian? Is there away to tell you are a toddler, teenager, or a full grown adult christian? Cheri
