A reprobate is someone who has conciously rejected the gospel and is not living a Christian life style.

Are you abusing drink. Drugs, sex, etc in your life, do you blaspheme Jesus as part of your normal conversation?

Depending on your answer you either need spiritual councelling or medical help if you imagine you are abusing drink, drugs etc.

No I'm not drinking, smoking, nor fornicating. But my attitude towards others, my lack of love. My stubbornness to to have my way, my selfishness. Resistance against the Holy Spirit, not sure if I'm still being convicted. I know what is right and wrong intristically but help from the Holy Spirit. I'm not sure

 

[Danigt22]

These are the people who call good evil, and evil good. Such as pro abortionists, pro homosexuality, the ones against the gospel of grace (judaizers), people sees fornication as dating...

If you are struggling against what you know is wrong, then you are being challenged and convicted.

Very few people experience an overnight change, for most people it takes a long time to change bad habits, form new good habits and to live as Jesus would want us to live.

Take heart from the fact that you are aware of what is wrong, I'm afread that you have to put the effort into loving others, to listening to and obeying the Bible.

We are commands to pray for the benefit of those who have us, we are not told to wait untill we like them and then pray, but to pray for them while we have very hostile feelings for them.

One cannot pray intelligently for the good of someone you hate, without over time coming to care about them.

So don't wait for feelings of love, start acting as if you do care, in time that all become real.

[Wings like Eagles]

A Christ follower can be concerned with being a reprobate.

If a person is not a Christ follower being a reprobate is not considered.

 

[Amittai]

No I'm not drinking, smoking, nor fornicating. But my attitude towards others, my lack of love. My stubbornness to to have my way, my selfishness. Resistance against the Holy Spirit, not sure if I'm still being convicted. I know what is right and wrong intrinsically but help from the Holy Spirit. I'm not sure

We have to explore the exercising of our faculties. Knowing instrinsically is what we are exercising at the moment.

I learned to get enthusiastic about my knowledge and not just about my emotions.

When our faculties line up better, we have a better chance of that degree of integrity that will get our fruits through tests better.

Greeting
The word Reprobate mind
The English word reprobate is from the Latin root probare (English: prove, test), and thus derived from the Latin, reprobatus (reproved, condemned), the opposite of approbatus (commended, approved).
When a sinner is so hardened as to feel no remorse or misgiving of conscience, it is considered a sign of reprobation.
1# Mental stronghold
2# I am vexed in my mind
3# Ashes of the mind

In Hebrews 6:8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

II Timothy 3:8 Now as Jan-nes and Jam-bres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth; men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

 

[Blessing James]

No I don't drink, smoke but stubborn and hard heart and weak and cold in the Lord now
