True Christians are the disciples of Jesus, the Word of God.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:...
Romans 7:22
...but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16.
...according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;...
Ephesians 3:16.
The inner or inward man refers to the inside of the person where truth, as they know it, lives. Thus, many people avoid the Word of God based on the truth "as they know it". The obvious problem is that the truth one possesses " as they know it" may not be the truth from God. This is always the case where a person believes in the truth "as they know it," but their truth contradicts the Word of God.
Here again, changing the original scriptures of the King James Bible is not only ill-advised, but anti-Christ because the Word as the inner (inward) man of Jesus is what makes Jesus the Christ.
This website holds fast to the sound Word(s) that are in Christ Jesus, His inner (inward) man, infrequently called the "bowels" (innards) of Jesus.
Our inner (inward) man is born again (renewed) or not. There is no third possibility.
Considering the King James New Testament of the Bible, many people will claim their salvation by a few verses and reject the remainder of the Word that gives the context of that very salvation in accordance with the will of God. Thus, the "truth as we know it" must align with the Word of God.
Therefore, anyone and everyone claiming to be born again of the Spirit (saved) believes the Word of God and has faith in it as absolute truth because it gives us the power to become the sons of God.
Recall, the death of Jesus on the cross and believe in Him as the Word of God is what washes the sin from us, and yet repentance from sin (not wanting it anymore) brings about the renewing by the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, for salvation because it bears witness to the Word we have in our inner man.
Simply stated, the inward or inner man of the person born again unto eternal life is renewed by the Word itself, the same inner (inward) man of Jesus Himself, while the inner man of the person who is not born again by the Word and repentance remains unrenewed despite any claim to salvation. See the discussion of the Spirit of Truth in the context of the Holy Spirit, God as a whole: the Father, His Word, and His Spirit of Truth (Holy Ghost) that raises us from the dead when we die.
