Are You Spiritual, Natural, or Carnal?

1 Corinthians 2:14, 3:1

Ladies and gentlemen, there are three classes of people present this morning. They are described in these verses. You may be a natural man, you may be a spiritual man, or you may be a carnal man, or for the ladies sake we may say you be a natural person, or you m ...
