Yes, very well said.
Kosta, you have said before that you believe that Paul helped to save Christianity because he developed a broader marketing strategy to include the Gentiles (my paraphrase). If you believe that, and if you believe that Christ was only talking to the Apostles (in meaning) at the great commission, then isn't that an indictment of God's own marketing strategy? If the Apostles understood that they and only they could minister the gospel of Christ to others, then you would have to think that Paul corrected God's error. IOW, you would be saying that God Himself restricted distribution of the faith, since us laymen are unfit to tell the Good News. Then, the faith waned. Finally, Paul stepped in and increased distribution.
It has always fascinated me that on the one hand Apostolics believe that only the clergy are authorized to spread the word, thus highly reducing the spread of Christianity, yet OTOH, you also believe that God loves all people and wants all to come to Him. God would appear to be working against interest in the accomplishment of His own goal. :)
Quite so . . . but why do the Calvinists et al seem to so wholesale
deny
the POWER part of that Scripture?
Even seemingly most Pentecostals are weak to non-involved in that flavor of Christian intensity and spiritual anointing.
