So far I have stayed out of this and perhaps I should continue to do so. For one thing, I don't want to be misconstrued as defending movies like Eyes Wide Shut or death metal, which I personally can't stand.
Having said that, however, I'd be interested in your answer to your own questions, Jeremy. What is your definition of conversion? What would indicate "having the mind of Christ" to you? You are quite correct that Christians should be moving away from salacious movies and music and more toward the good, the true, and the beautiful. (Phillippians 4:8). There are some things we shouldn't even be thinking about, let alone discussing. However, some of your posts are frankly giving me Wesleyan flashbacks. Not because you're saying some movies are bad, but this language about sanctification which seems to indicate that once you're saved, it should be a done deal, no more sin, no more struggle. I hope that's not what you mean.
