A stunted Christian may be one who is simply not a mature believer, still needing "milk" as the Apostle Paul said, even though he should be eating "meat". I actually can't tell about myself, whether I am learning to discern good and evil, but I hope I am.
When I see someone like that, who seems to be worldly, it's really a wake up call for me to consider my own sins and temptations: the desires of the flesh. And, hopefully, conviction of sin follows. And freedom.
Or one who walks like many do...with one foot in the Spirit realm and one foot in the worldly realm...like those who love lots of distraction by entertainment and just does the once a week "Christian" thing in some "meeting" somewhere.
A stunted Christian that hasn't grown in the Spirit or word.
What do you think?
