“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”
Matthew 16:24 KJV

Man Christians make a great mistake when thinking they can be a part time Christian. Christianity is not a lifestyle, or a way of life, it is the life of God given by God for you to live! So, when you decide to follow Jesus, you are not yourself anymore. You MUST live for Christ. In everything you do. EVERYTHING!
You cannot live in the world still. You cannot do all the things you used to do, as a sinner. Jesus must rule now, and what He says, you obey. There is a very wrong doctrine being preached that needs to be stopped.
Many say, the sins that you have committed and will commit God has forgiven.
WRONG!
God forgave your sins, and He made you righteous. He made you sinless; and you want to ruin the righteousness? This actually brings conflict against what the Bible says:
“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,”
Hebrews 10:26 KJV
http://bible.com/1/heb.10.26.kjv
And we say we are Christians? There is also another wrong doctrine which needs to be stopped.
When you want to commit a sin, you are allowed to do it as long as you ask God for forgiveness afterwards. And you know it is a sin. And after keeping the rewards of that sin, you begin to shed crocodile tears of how sorry you are to God.
WRONG!
This (again) goes against the Word:
“For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,”
Hebrews 10:26 KJV
http://bible.com/1/heb.10.26.kjv
As Christians we need to be careful of what we hear and see. We need to be careful of what we allow into our spirits. The Bible says that Jesus did not judge by what He heard or saw, and we must be like Jesus.
“And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:”
Isaiah 11:3 KJV

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”
Philippians 2:5 KJV
