the members of God's family have a responsibility to help restore fallen believers.
james 5: 19-20
the reality of backsliding: it is possible for someone to backslide (noone is immune) it might not happen today, but it can happen. the church is a family of genuine believers. you can never lose your relationship with god, but when you're backsliding, there is something wrong with the fellowship. matthew 18:12 when you backslide its not necessarily intentional but its almost like they've been distracted and its subtle and takes time. when you realize you've wandered away, those actions have happened in the past. you can move on from it, if you truely try to. if your belief in the word begins to slide so will you wander. all sins should have a negative affect against you. you have to take necessary steps to get back on track and back to the fellowship. you done have to commit a "major" sin in order to be wandering. you can wander even when you are becoming apathetic.
