It’s a choice based on your knowledge of the word. Of course as Christians we have the choice to grow and mature in our spiritual walk. The increase will always become from God. It does take some effort to learn and that would be going and seeking what the Bible has in store for the user who is reading it.
To me people who are babes in Christ they have the spirit but their flesh is still overbearing them and they may tend to react in the flesh rather than the spirit more because they are new to Christianity if anything.
So children act as though newborns do; they can fight, bicker, and maybe not understand the full scope of what everything is about when it pertains to the Bible and as them being new one wouldn’t expect to be mature they would make mistakes.
As one grows and learns and mature and in growing in understanding about God and Jesus and that it is by faith in Christ that makes them right with God and understanding of gaining the ability to by the spirit rather than the flesh (which causes?? You will be able to answer that yourself).
The spiritually mature live by the spirit in faith and they do tend sometimes to fail because of our flesh; I’m a living example of it myself just yesterday had long post battle between me and this other person no edification was made it was just nonsensical back and forth posting.
When you become spiritually living you’ll be able to discern when things do not seem right and a good reminder is that is coming from the flesh when one fights, and bickers, moans and groans; which happens to all of as Christian believers.
The choice is always there you can handle things your own way or be lead by the spirit allowing Christ through you to handle its Gods way which is always by and through the spirit, by faith.
Thank you for a moment of your time and hope that you gain something from this post,
God bless all of you and take care,
With love,
