We do believe that the state one day will be Christian, but this no way implies that the role of the state is to Christianize its citizens.

Yet.

Reading between the lines, it becomes clear that that is their eventual goal, and they come very close to admitting it here. Most of us on the right are familiar with gradualism from our dealings with environmentalists, "labor" activists, the "children's rights" crowd and others on the left who clearly favor big government socialism but know that to actively espouse it is to condemn oneself to the extreme fringes of American politics.

Ironically, Christianity was not meant to be a governing religion. Not even Paul of Tarsus ever attempted to make it one. It was not until 312 AD, when Emperor Constantine saw a meteor and attributed it to God, that Christianity ever became part of a government.

A bit later, the statement says that the group only supports Biblical law for a nation that covenants together. That would pretty much nullify any attempt at Christianizing the citizens then if they are not going to use God's law until the citizens want to do so; at that point, the citizenry would be Christian anyway so not much "Christianizing" would be going on.

You are correct that they have a goal for a Christianized people. But, that is not a scary thing. I have that desire myself, but only God's Spirit will accomplish that if it is going to happen and that is the way the Chalcedon people think as well according to their site.

If they indicated a desire to have Biblical laws for a non-covenanted people, then that would be a problem.
