Questions? It depends on what your point is. If your point is that we as believers have spread doctrine while seriously ignored kingdom living, I have no questions.
If you mean that our view of the atonement is flawed I have many questions.
Rick - interesting angle. In light of your approach, I'm not sure what I meant. Can you communicate in a succinct way how you separate atonement from kingdom living?
I find a line of demarcation between kingdom living and preaching the atonement. Living is "created unto good works" is such a way as to give the Holy Spirit substance with which to draw spiritual interest and authenticity.
The atonement is received purely and distinctly through faith. Christianity includes works of mercy and grace, but the cross is THE work of atonement without which no one can be saved.
Come on over tonight and I'll explain it further in a heated swimming pool (Tampa).
