ls, I think you are getting way more out of my post than intended.
Well, to me it is a tremendously important point: if Christians were all "empowered" ONLY by being Christians, then there would be mass healings, resurrections, miracles of faith, and so on. It would look like Acts, times a million. But the fact is that many Christians are powerless because they are clueless ("My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.")
Most of them look at God as a malicious guy out to "get" them and "take them home" at the first opportunity, or "give them cancer" to "teach them a lesson." Baloney.
