When someone who claims to be a "Christian" but is not ashamed of their haughty attitude or mean actions, then we can be sure there was no born again experience.
Most people today who think they are saved have no fruit of the Spirit, no commitment to righteousness and no sense of shame over bad attitudes.
When these people are told they are sinning in their actions and attitudes they fight to defend themselves rather than shamed to confess it and forsake it.
James 5:16
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
Psalm 32:5
"I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah"
God only forgives and cleanses those who are ashamed and want cleansing!
