The highly respected Dr. Tony Evans teaches that "committed Christians may fall into sin, but a carnal Christian bathes in." Evans continues, "He has the mindset, motivation and methodology of sin."

Christians who bathe in sin? Is repentance and self denial optional to salvation? According to Dr. Evans the answer is "yes." There are "saints who act more sinful than sinners," insists Dr. Evans "even though they are on their way to heaven." Whether a professing Christian is murderous, denies Christ or even adopts Satan's lifestyle Dr. Evans promises paradise to the unrepentant. The apostle Paul might question Dr. Evans in this manner: "Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?" (Rom 6:16).

Tony Evans plainly promises paradise to those alleged "sinning saints" who bathe in sin. Reader, ask yourself, what career criminal or devil doesn't do likewise? Perhaps heaven will be full of devils if Dr. Evans dogma is accurate. If Romans 6:16 and the following were all the holy writ had to say on the matter, which they are not, these scriptures would be plenty to label Tony Evans' sinning saint notion as heresy. Consider:

No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. 1 John 3:9-10

Biblically speaking a sinning saint will perish though Tony Evans teaches otherwise. In fact, to believe Dr. Evans is to be deceived: "Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8 the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning" (1 John 3:7-8).

For those who desire freedom from the chains of sin the gospel is good news. For those sinning saints, however, who desire the best of both worlds the gospel is bad news. When addressing those professing Christians who insisted on continuing in sin Paul wrote with a heavy heart:

Many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. Phil 3:18-20

Alleged "carnal Christians" who find comfort in the words of Dr. Evans are not destined for streets of gold, sadly, they are "enemies of the cross of Christ" who have believed a lie. The sinning saint theory of Tony Evans is a deception. It is theological soothsaying lulling the people of God into spiritual lethargy and ruin.
