No Automatic Immunization
NO AUTOMATIC IMMUNIZATION By V. P. Wierwille Most fundamental, Bible-believing Christians believe that once they are born again of God’s spirit the adversary (Satan, the Devil) cannot touch them. They believe that he has no influence over them, that he cannot do anything to them because they are Christ’s.
