What are the three categories God divides the human race into?
God divides the human race into three segments: spiritual believers, carnal believers, and unbelievers. The saved are divided into spiritual and carnal, and with unbelievers this totals three categories. These are the three segments of humanity as God sees us.
Les explains that the saved are divided into two further categories, spiritual believers and carnal believers, so that with unbelievers there are three total segments of the human race as God sees us. The Corinthian believers were for the most part believers, but they were carnal, still fleshly, and not growing as Paul expected. Their carnality showed in divisions—they had pet people they wanted to follow—which Paul had to deal with, beginning in chapter 3, along with envying, strife, and divisions.
