"War with sin and doubt, guilt and depression, are not signs of defeat, but proof of Christ's victory. After all, those who are not baptized into Christ by the Spirit are at peace with sin and unbelief. The absence of war within is true only of people in one of two states: unregenerate or glorified. The believer is presently in neither. Such conflict is not the evidence that one is a 'carnal Christian' but is the genuine experience of every believer throughout the course of his life."
-- Michael Horton, "In the Face of God"
