Continuing the discussion based on my article at daffydd.simplesite.com and my earlier posts to the forum site. Discussing these matters is all very well, but can we now put the discussion into practice? At an individual level, living the Kingdom life is essential for the full Christian experience. That is to say, we should all aim t being "Galatians 2:20 Christians" i.e. we should be able to repeat Paul's words, not simply as a doctrinal statement, but as a description of our experience. But if all Christians were "Galatians 2:20 Christians", the entire Church would be of one Mind and one Will as there is only one Holy Spirit. Christians have the mighty & unique privilege of being indwelt by God in the Person of the Holy Spirit. God is indeed present everywhere and to all things, but "being present" & "indwelling" are not synonymous terms!
I believe that God moved me to write what I have written, but (of course), I am far from infallible. I would just humbly ask that those of my readers who are in a position to so do, gather small groups together to PRAYERFULLY discuss my article (with special emphasis on the account of the church council mentioned) discerning where correction might e needed and emphasis placed and how this can be put into practice, that these groups become "cells" of Kingdom activity - groups of "Gal.2:20 Christians" - moved by God as he wills.
Blessings,
Daffydd
