It should, but it so often does not. I think this might be the root of our frustration toward some professing christians. We expect worldly people to act like worldly people, but when someone claims to be a believer but lives like a 'jerk' (to quote houseparent), it grieves the Holy Spirit in us.

Not me. I always get you and those Navy guys mixed up.
